I do miss David Dean, he slowly explained the how, where what and why. He changed how the game was played. And yes, I believe he invented the time out room. Thank God we still have Beast, I NEVER miss one of your videos! Your game knowledge is above all others!

David dean was the trap god , came up w all the best tunnels in the game including the time out

I'd like to mention that knocking zombies into an inescapable holes kinda like basements of houses in a mission do work the same as an edge kill for smashers, husks, and husky husks, while shielders will be alive they'll be stuck until you kill them.

Just to let everyone know the way beast put the floor spikes can be put like that but the slowness that the floor spikes give last 2 Tiles so you could do spike, freeze,spike ect

Hi Beast, This is a good video. It serves as a good baseline for trap tunnelling. I’m actually quite happy someone made an up to date video on this topic. I would’ve made a video on trap tunnelling but I’m not certain it would’ve garnered the same attraction as yours for the effort spent. So I post most of my guides on Reddit. Nonetheless, there are a few suggestions that I would make. Personally, I’m not a fan of timeout chambers and frankly I’ve noticed they have almost become obsolete in public matches. However, when I do use timeout chambers, I recommend adding a ceiling electric field inside the timeout box. The ceiling electric field will hit any enemy within one tile. So, it will hit enemies walking on the path and in the timeout chamber. I also prefer to use a wall dart (faster reload than broadside) on the wall parallel to wall launcher for a similar reason. I would also like to give some much needed love to the ceiling zapper. It is, without question, the strongest single target hitting trap in the game. I usually put one of these at the end of my tunnel coupled with a tar pit as a safety precaution for any “tanky” husks that get by. Something I’ve also recently started doing is putting anti air traps on floor tiles next to the objective. Why you may ask? Well in missions with propane husks, I’ve noticed when propane husks try to throw their propane at the objective, the anti air will activate and shoot the propane making it disappear. Another tunnel I suggest people to tryout is: 4 walls (2 walls in line with each other and mirrored with wall darts). Place a 2x2 area of floor freeze with tire traps (2 to 3 tiles high) It would look like this: | X X | | X X | | = Wall dart X = Freeze trap w/ tire trap Simple but really effective!

At the end of tunnels if you truely want smashers eliminated use tar pit + 2 broadsides + ceiling zappers. I use this box 3 times in a row and it finishes off smashers on wave 25 solo twine endurance consistently.

thank you for making this

Thank you for this. I thought about using tunnels but they were a bit janky. Your tips made my tunnels a lot better.

if you use the double dynamo and double darts with a tar pit on the floor it makes a really good smasher killer, you can add a zapper on top for even more damage

You can use floor launchers to put husks in a timeout room 1 tile up

Got back into stw this video definitely helped me epsecially because i never knew how to build or a efficient way to use traps

Beast videos are so relaxing.

I believe it was David Dean that started doing the whole term 'time out room'.

10:32 something i don’t know if he mention. always place your traps facing your objective. husks will stagger backwards if you do so. most effective with floor freeze and drop trap

Never used half of these tunnels, I will be sure to try them out thanks!

I sometimes do snake tunnels and do the stair+floor launcher thing so that I can make a time out room and also keep the snake consistent

This is the most helpful video I've seen on fortnite traps. Thanks.

Thanks alot as usual Beast is the guy we didn't know we needed help with till he posts about it

I needed this beast thank you

Finally! Been waiting for this video :)

In the timeout room, if u edit a window or two in the wall u can lay wall darts instead of broadsides and get double damage. I like the broadsides myself because they normally bounce around when that close together but with a window in that center wall u could still hang wall spikes for shoot left and right but you’d have the other dart on the other wall shooting as well since it shoots thru walls with windows!! 👍 just a nice tip

For the zig zag slaughter tunnel you would want to use a different trap than the broadside because it stops the wall launchers from working

This was helpful man thanks keep it up

love the trap tunnel vids!

Just a suggestion, you should do like an advanced trap tunnel video for like endurances or war ganes and include the wall dynamo-wall darts and the extra cieling electric field damage. Help out some people with building endurances

Yeah when I wake up and want a chill vid I go to beast because they are so chill but informative

Finally :) Time to see how ya build your traps

If u have the resources or doing a ssd use wall dynamos in a box from the pusher traps and place them in the box all around and any trap above and this will stop your smasher problem

for electric fields, it says the cna trigger in a 3x3 radius but you think it's way more consistent when you put it 2 tiles high?

Top info. Tx a lot. Second prt would b much welcome!

Keep it going man . I swear you deserve alot more subscribers

This video has been out for two years and I am just now seeing it. To my knowledge David Dean didn't invent the timeout room but he was the one that named it. Essentially back in those days everyone was experimenting with everything and you were seeing some crazy trap tunnels. There wasn't hero builds and weapon builds as Hero perks and weapon perks were locked, same with traps. The only real thing to experiment with was trap tunnels. David Dean became super popular because he was known for soloing missions most of the time and spending countless hours experimenting with trap tunnels. Many of the trap tunnels designs he came up are still used in some form today Though was the guy that basically changed how fortnight was played. I will give him credit for that. I was playing fortnight way back then and was one of the OGs when David Dean was making videos and was basically one of two fortnight content creators for save the world. Sadly a lot of the traps don't work like they used to and they made some new ones since then.

The video we have been waiting for, from The Master, thanks Beast. Glad you didn't take my suggestion to make a video on Blue and Purple traps, Epic made it unnecessary shortly thereafter!

What a beast of an encyclopedia

I have been dying for this videooooo

Great video mate. What would you say is the best loadout for trap tunneling?

I remember a time when Beast claimed, ‘I don’t do trap tunnel videos.’ ‘I review weapons.’ I guess the crowd got to ya huh?!? 😃Understandable & appreciated. I love seeing the variety of builds. Always entertaining.

Thanks for the good beast, helps me and I assume others out a lot

Thanks beast your really helpful.

Amazing vid helped me out so much

A very Good Guide

I always have trouble getting them to go for my tunnels instead of just breaking through the walls, no matter how many layers of walls I put up

On the traps that go on slopes, could you replace stairs with pryamids and place spike traps on them?

Maybe you could link how drop traps and floor freezes are orientation based ,i think by mitch robbs

Personally I use gas traps and floor spikes because I would rather use my quartz and batteries for my guns

a video that will change your view on drop traps and why they go anywhere they escaped the cc nerf and a video that will make you rethink floor freeze video maybe even more useful now as well. Drop trap: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib9ga8afrryzhZc.html Floor freeze: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJ-ge9Boy82Znp8.html

What's a good defense for retrieve the data that works all of the time? and why is 3 high ceiling drops better?

Thank you, I will be using this.

nice video beast

I seen u streaming this but didn't know what you where doing And never seen the upload

great video, thx

Expecting best shotguns review since you told us about it.

I really needed this lol

Thank you a lot beast

Someone already brought this up already but the orientation of traps does matter when trying to keep husks from reaching the objective faster. Mitch_robbs did talk about this with ceiling drop traps (the mufflers) and floor freeze traps.

I wish this video was sooner ! Before i anarchically built myself to end twine peak SSD

Yessss there’s my favorite outro ahaha

I did the endurance on plankerton with the build u showed

Just letting you know most of the traps are outdated due to the cc changes and now they won't be affected as much from the floor freeze or the drop traps or wall launchers, you prob want to add more killing stuff to compensate

Just got twine ssd9 done thx to the guide

If you have a tunnel long enough with timeout chambers, just go full damage on the traps, no reload speed. They’ll be dead by the time they reach the end of your tunnel and having a full damage or full knock back will push the smashers so they won’t be a problem

Do you ever use sound walls? My understanding is they can be good for propanes so I put some in my tunnels sometimes towards the end.

wall launcher timeout boxes are old tbh. try using a sound wall and make the floor piece a half. you don’t need a wall launcher now as the husk will just walk around the half floor into the timeout box.

19:56 I use this with a wall launcher on the next tile to extend the reach for pits and such.

Your Tunnel with broadside Gas trap and freeze ist good but i have a question why you dont do soundwalls in the beginning cause of the propains . Without the soundwalls can the propains Explode in the Tunnel?

Keep it up love the vids

For the meems, floor launcher plus 2 tile high stair case Roof to a David dean time out box but trapless With spiral stairs(Edited so away from objective so that The lil half wall and half tile distance separates husk) down back to the floor launcher😂 I wanna see if it’d work as a low level time out that’s hella funny

What is the best heros/loadouts for general missions ?

Floor launcher are good because they have a higher impact than wall launchers. Both have their uses

The combo I use is: Floor Freeze + Broadside + Tire Trap (3 tiles high)

Now we don’t have to watch some outdated trap vids from tik tak or david dean lol

In the zig zag slaughter tunnel.😂 Could i use tarpits for the floor traps is that still good

My friend just got into stw so this is a great video for him to learn the basics of traps cause he's not very good at it.

Woah actually pretty useful

Timeout rooms And trap tunnel perfection belongs to Sir David Dean. A1 did do ally with trap tunnels but the timeout room was David deans

Beast: We were down under a cliff. That's the worst case scenario. Me, with my terrible luck: Are you sure about that?

This helped me. Now I know not to put tire traps at a 1 tile height

For endurance/wave defense over the top trap tunnels are great. In a 108 no modifier atlas its pointless and damn right I'm going to stand in the tunnel and shoot. If not than we'd all just be standing there. And most times the ppl who build the over the top trap tunnel dont want to increase the difficulty. But to be honest I'm standing in a tunnel in frostnite & 160s shooting bc I enjoy it. It's why I play. I go through bows like every other match but why not.

Poggers! Thanks beast ❤️

thx

So much change to traps, what traps trigger the propane?

Also what's the best way to gather mats? I never seem to have enough for even a single trap.

Another very epic video

Hey Beast, I heard that boardsides have some knockback, so they shouldnt be placed opposite to yeet wall traps. Is that true?

Thanks beast your the best

I do trap tunnels a lot..i jus hate when the storm changes direction then tunnel become useless and a waste of time and mats lol

Aren't the wall darts the ones that will just shoot through everything

Gas doesn't have affliction anymore? What does the increase effect duration perk do on it?

Beast, is it a good idea to combine use of floor freeze or wall lights, with a sound wall, so thr husks start dancing and also are blinded/frozen, or can husks only be affected by 1 trap effect debuff at any one time?

Doesn't matter who showcased it first, it's the game mechanics and basic concepts are ideal rather than unique. Nevertheless, great video... There is an array of combined traps to gain the best outcome... All subjective

Placing broadside on front of the wall louncher is not really good (the broadside have pretty much impact) but if u dont play high level mission the hysks just will die.

Do you need to wall round your entire base to do this because they come from all angles?

If I place traps in my homebase then later upgrade the schematic of those traps do I need to replace all of the traps in my homebase or will the traps automatically have the updated schematic loaded with it?

This was a banger

Yes, the timeout room with gas traps

Yeah but how do I know from what directions the husks come from?

Saw a vid on Reddit where the freeze traps only work if you place them the same way. I also saw that wall launchers don’t work anymore. If you could respond telling me if that’s true thanks.

Great video

100% David Dean and he is so missed. He really was a pioneer of STW.

Wouldn't you put wall darts if broadsides have nothing to bounce off?
