One of the best features of the battle royale genre is that the high-stakes gameplay offers so many opportunities for you to mess with people.

Even in the limited space of Fortnite's map, tactics have already emerged to put people on edge and manipulate them into doing what you want. Hell, even the simple decision to open or close a door can have huge ramifications on what a player stumbling across it does next.

The developers need to facilitate this more thoughtful style of gameplay going forward, and the addition of more traps would be the perfect way to go about it.

Deadly traps are already in the game but virtually nobody uses them, so moving forward, the devs should either evolve the system or change it completely. The addition of items like decoys could be great for getting people to announce their position or laying down an ambush, resulting in players being even more paranoid than they already are.
