I don't know but the current despawn time for traps seem to be kinda small, from what I can tell it's around 10 mins on a ship.
Has anyone else tried them yet?

Has anyone else tried them yet?From rumors I've read, the times seem to vary from several minutes to over half an hour.
@astralenigma I've had some despawn after seconds. Not sure it's intentional outside of once further traps are placed and there's a limit
@burnbacon
Haven't tried it just felt too small because that was the time for me to set it up explore the island I was in quickly and then reach the next island.
When there's a commendation tied to have someone set off a trap rigged with a red flare on your ship it would seem it was designed to warn you when your ship got invaded while you were on the island.
If I'm going to be using traps as a boarder alert system I'm going to need a lot more traps.
But yeah trap despawn time seems inconsistent too.@ligar-zero-7628 said in Traps despawn time:
Placed a trap on my gally went over to my alliance sloop to help set off the trap and by the time I’d gotten back it was gone so it’s less than 10 mins
I recorded it and between the frame I set the trap and the last frame I saw it, it took 10 mins. At the eleventh minute the trap wasn't there anymore.
That was a test where I hadn't set any more traps.
Maybe there's a bug with the despawn timer it's the first time they spawn something that is created by the player that requires a despawn timer.@klutchxkay
That could make sense.
I had traps I placed in the same area when I had my own timer suspicions.
Some traps would last a long time, others would literally despawn in seconds.Either its randomised.
Or bugged.
Either way I just use traps for the bug usage, never served me any decent way in actual PvP sadly.
