10 Worst Weapons In Horror Video Games

2. Dead By Daylight - The Bear Trap

Needless to say, in a title that revolves around hunting down and disposing of survivors as a vicious horror movie-esque killer, bear traps can be hideously effective.

Nevertheless, The Trapper is often regarded as one of the game’s weakest killers, and it’s easy to see why that is.

Bear Trap is The Trapper’s Power, and with canny use, it can definitely be a game-winner. Survivors who stumble into it can be easy pickings, after all. The Trapper’s problem is that they are able to hold only one Bear Trap at once, which can severely hamper the performance of even an expert player.

Time is always of the essence in Dead By Daylight, and thanks to the Bear Trap, this Killer spends much of their time fighting their own limitations.

Combine this with the fact that Survivors can escape from the trap (and careless Trappers can even ensnare themselves) or free each other, and this weapon is just too ineffective and counter-intuitive compared to the tools some of the rest of the murderous cast bring to the table.
