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 28 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
(These Killers are the easiest for a first-time Player)
Lore
- Additional Lore can be found in Tome 1 - 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.

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:
The Trapper starts the Trial with 2 Bear Traps equipped, with 6 Bear Traps spawned randomly throughout the Trial Grounds.
The Trapper sees the Auras of every Bear Trap at all times.
Collecting Bear Traps:
Press the Interaction button while standing near a disarmed Bear Trap to collect it.
The Trapper can carry 2 Bear Traps at a time.
Setting Bear Traps:
Press and hold the Power button to set and arm a Bear Trap in a valid location in front of The Trapper.
- An armed Bear Trap will trap and immobilise any Survivor who steps into it.
If the Survivor was healthy, they will be put into the Injured State.
- An armed Bear Trap will also trap The Trapper, if he steps into it.
This temporarily immobilises him while he frees his foot and resets the Bear Trap.
If he was carrying a Survivor, that Survivor will escape from his shoulder. - A trapped Survivor can attempt to free themselves from the Bear Trap or have another Survivor rescue them.
Catching Survivors in Bear Traps:
Press the Interaction button on a trapped Survivor to lift them out of the Bear Trap and onto The Trapper's shoulder.
Resetting Bear Traps:
Press and hold the Power button while standing near a disarmed Bear Trap to reset it.
Power Trivia

Bear Traps:
- Setting time: 2.5 seconds
- The animation is split into three phases, with only the second phase being affected by Add-ons:
- Crouching down: 0.5 seconds
- Setting: 1.5 seconds
- Standing up: 0.5 seconds
- The animation is split into three phases, with only the second phase being affected by Add-ons:
- Disarm time: 3.5 seconds
- Escape Attempt time: 1.8 seconds
- Rescue time: 1.5 seconds
- Escape Attempt chance: 16.67 %
- This is per attempt, but capped at a maximum of 6 attempts, after which the action will always succeed.

Trapper Gloves | Protective padded leather gloves.
| |
Padded Jaws | These Padded Jaws are meant to restrain, not to wound.

| |
4-Coil Spring Kit | A replacement kit for Bear Traps which changes the usual dual spring system to four coil springs, adding a great amount of strength to the Bear Trap's hold.

| |
Bloody Coil | Part sticky, part slippery, this grim liquid makes handling the Bear Trap's spring more dangerous.
