Notes/advice[]
- Especially in HFW traps are extremely costly rendering playstyles relying solely on traps an economical challenge as kills don't provide enought materials and shards to sustain themselfs.
- When used in close combat the player has to be cautious as traps will also deal potentially massive damage to aloy (especially when "resilient trapper" is only low level)
