Evan MacMillan

In other languages:

		There is a vast monster of a man with a hideous grin torn across the mask that keeps stalking my every move. Similar to a hunter, he tracks us, priming devastating traps amongst the greenery. Extreme vigilance and a light step is essential in avoiding the blood-curdling clench of a bear trap or the clutches of what I've taken to calling "The Miserable Smiling Killer". I have but many times managed to get caught in one of these traps. I have nothing but a fear for the feeling of blunt trap spikes grinding against my bones or for the heavy and deliberate footsteps which always inevitably reveal a plastered, sadistic grin. With the traps and the Trapper, it has so far been a constant battle between looking up and looking down.

Evan MacMillan or "The Trapper" is one of 22 Killers currently featured in Dead by Daylight .

He was introduced as a member of the original Killer Trio that released with the Game on 14 June 2016.

Overview

The Trapper is an area-control Killer, able to apply pressure across the Map by placing deadly Bear Traps for Survivors to step into.

His personal Perks, Unnerving Presence , Brutal Strength , and Agitation , allow him to chase and carry Survivors more effectively.

He is focused on physical attributes and making use of his strength and the Survivors' fear.

Difficulty rating: Easy
(based on the amount of time and effort that is required to properly learn to play him and use his Power effectively)

Lore

Additional Lore can be found in Tome I - Awakening: Blood, Brass and Grit.

Evan MacMillan idolised his father. It wasn't just that he was heir to a great fortune, it was the way he ran the estate. Raised under his firm hand, Evan had taken to running the workforce with an iron hand. Production was always high and the MacMillan Estate prospered under father and son.

As Archie MacMillan's mental health slowly disintegrated, Evan protected him from the herd who wanted a piece of the fortune. No matter what his father asked of him, Evan would do.

When Archie MacMillan finally snapped, Evan became his enforcer in what would become known as the worst mass murder in modern history. They never proved that Evan lead over a hundred men into those dark tunnels before detonating the explosives and sealing them to their fate. The tale of the MacMillan Estate is a tale of wealth and power gone very wrong.

How many victims fell to the hands of father and son is unknown. No record is ever made of what became of Evan MacMillan. His father is another unsolved puzzle, found trapped in the locked basement of his own warehouse - starved and abandoned.

The Trapper's Perks

These are Perks which start off only appearing in The Trapper's Bloodweb . After achieving Level 30, Teachable versions of these Perks can be found:

Unnerving Presence - Level 30
Brutal Strength - Level 35
Agitation - Level 40

Once obtained, other Killers will be able to find The Trapper's Perks in their respective Bloodwebs from that point onwards

	Unnerving Presence	Your presence alone instils great fear. Survivors within your Terror Radius have a 10 % greater chance of triggering Skill Checks when repairing, healing or sabotaging. Triggered Skill Checks' success zones are reduced by 40/50/60 %. "Its presence befalls us."
	Brutal Strength	Your great strength allows you to shred through your prey's defences. Destroy dropped Pallets and Breakable Walls , and damage Generators 10/15/20 % faster. "It's more than muscles. A dark power motivates the beast."
	Agitation	You get excited in anticipation of hooking your prey. While carrying a Survivor, your Movement speed is increased by 6/12/18 % and your Terror Radius is increased by 12 metres. "At some point, the excitement of hooking one of us becomes more important than the desire to kill us."

Load-out

Weapon: The Cleaver

The Cleaver is the primary weapon of the Trapper. A brutal cleaver, hammered by his own hands from the metals of the mine.

If he hits a Survivor, he will wipe off the blood on his arm.
The cleaver has a relatively small hit radius.

Power: Bear Trap

A large foothold trap made of steel. Bear Traps are found lying around throughout the Trial Grounds, waiting to be picked up and set anywhere.

BEAR TRAP:
Start the Trial with 1 Bear Trap by default.
Find and collect more throughout the environment.

Collect Bear Trap:
Press the Interaction button while standing near a disarmed Bear Trap in the environment to collect it.
The Trapper may only carry 1 Bear Trap at a time by default.

Set Bear Trap:
Press and hold the Power button to set and arm a Bear Trap in a valid location in front of you.
An armed Bear Trap will immobilise and incapacitate any Player that steps in it (including The Trapper).
A healthy Survivor that steps into an armed Bear Trap will also become injured, but may attempt to escape the Bear Trap.

Catching Survivors:
Press the Interaction button on a trapped Survivor to lift them out of the Bear Trap and onto The Trapper's shoulder.

Reset Bear Trap:
Press and hold the Power button while standing near a disarmed Bear Trap in the environment to reset it where it lies, if it is not already armed.

Power Trivia

The default Setting time takes 2.5 seconds.
- The animation is divided into three phases: putting the Trap down (0.5 s), setting the Trap (1.5 s), and standing back up (0.5 s). Only the middle phase is affected by Add-ons.
The default Disarm time takes 3.5 seconds.
The default Escape chance is 25 % per attempt and the action takes 1.5 seconds to complete.
Bear Traps must be placed at least 1.5 metres apart from one another.
As of Patch 3.5.0, there is a grace period of 3 seconds after setting a Bear Trap before The Trapper can get trapped himself.

The Bear Trap can be darkened by using the Logwood Dye or the Tar Bottle Add-ons. Darkening them will make them much more difficult to spot for Survivors and allow The Trapper to set Bear Traps in open locations as well, though that is usually not advised as attentive Survivors will still see them:

Default	Logwood Dye	Tar Bottle

Tips

Main article: Hints

Due to only starting out with one Bear Trap and having to gather and set all other Traps individually, The Trapper loses a lot of valuable time at the start of the Trial. It is thus advised to carefully think about the Trap placement.
Avoid stepping into your own Bear Traps while carrying a Survivor, as you will drop them otherwise.
Traps are near invisible in grass and difficult to see on reddish surfaces.
A very commonly used strategy is to hook a Survivor in the Basement and trap all entrances to it. This works especially well in the Killer Shack.
Placing Traps in the middle of a Pallet comes at a risk. When hoisting the trapped Survivor onto your shoulder a nearby Survivor could stun you with the Pallet and cause you to drop the caught Survivor.

Trivia

The Trapper was the only playable Killer during the BETA.
The Trapper's Alpha name was "Chuckles".
- In the Game Files, it is misspelt as "Checkles".
The Trapper is affiliated with the MacMillan Estate Realm in the Lore.
The Trapper might be based on Jason Voorhees, as both Characters are large and muscular men, wear a mask, wield a simple yet crude bladed weapon, and are fiercely loyal towards one of their parents (Jason towards his mother, Evan towards his father). Also, Jason has been known to use Bear Traps from time to time, while the Trapper uses them as a staple of his attack style.
The Trapper's mask might be inspired by the mask of the Babyface Killer from the 2009 movie The Hills Run Red, as both are cracked and resemble a human face.
When a Survivor gets caught in a Bear Trap and escapes, the Trap will open up to let them out and then snap shut. If The Trapper is caught in his own Trap while walking over it, he will reset it instead.
Some renderings of The Trapper without his mask on can be found inside the Game Files, revealing that he's bald.
The Trapper was the first Killer to wear a face mask.
Through customisation, players are able to play as the Trapper's alternate concept art outfit using the cosmetics: Chuckles, Butcher's Bane and Knapped Copper Cleaver.
The Dead Hard perk can be used by Survivors to dodge a Bear Trap in their way.
