Gravity Traps
Work in Progress
Notes
Description
Gravity Traps are localized environmental anomalies caused by active matter, which warps gravity and locks it into a small, concentrated area.
The anomaly triggers instantly upon physical contact, resulting in a sudden flash of light and a concussive blast that launches the player up and backward. This causes a heavy stagger and often leads to severe fall damage. It is important to note that other anomalies and enimies, such as Distorted and Flowermen, can also trigger Gravity Traps. If you see a flash in the distance, it might be caused by a nearby enemy rather than another player.
The safest way to deal with Gravity Traps is to detonate them from a distance by tossing a bolt at them using the X key. This activates the anomaly safely, though you must stand back to avoid being staggered and knocked back by the blast. Alternatively, you can also trigger and clear them by shooting them with a gun.
Appearance
Visually, Gravity Traps appear as a distorted, mirage-like "bubble" on the ground, with small black particles constantly floating off of them. They also emit a distinct sound similar to boiling water, which is useful for detecting them when they are obstructed from view by tall grass.
