Overview[]
The Trap-O-Matic is one of the four upgraded crossbows. Unlike the other three crossbow upgrades this one is dual wielded, and as the name suggests it spawns traps when shot. The way the traps work is that when an arrow is fired, it will kill any zombie it hits, and/or create a node when it hits a solid surface. When any two nodes are close to each other, it will produce a beam between the nodes which will kill any zombie that walks through it. The problem that arises is that should the ground be uneven, the nodes may not connect which would mean a waste of ammuntion. Also, when picking up ammo clips, only 1 arrow is added as one bow has a magazine size of 1, despite its akimbo nature.
How to obtain[]
The player must first find a small Eagle statue located around the map. Like the other statues, it shares a random spawn location. After acquiring the statue, the player must head to the recreation area and place the statue by the speakers.
The player must now damage zombies to about 30% of their health and allow them to be "absorbed" by the statue. After enough zombies are damaged, the statue will be completely charged and will be able to be picked up.
After picking up the statue, head over to the Thunderbird Amphitheater, and place the statue next to one of the Eagle statues. The player must now kill about 20 zombies with the Vlad near the big statues. Killing zombies at any of the two statues will count towards the bow. After enough zombies are killed, the statue can now be picked up, and once the player does so, the player's Vlad will be replaced with the upgraded Trap-O-Matic.
