The Shake Trap is a weapon in the Battle Mode of Half-Life 2: Survivor, included with the game on release. It is a part of standard equipment for the Combine Engineer, and can be unlocked for the Resistance Engineer by reaching D-Class.

Overview

The primary attack can be used to throw the Shake Trap for a short distance, like the secondary mode of the S.L.A.M. After the thrown Shake Trap falls on a surface and stops moving, it becomes immune to all forms of damage and can not be moved unless it's pushed by physics objects. After that, the trap becomes invisible, but its position is indicated to teammates by a flashing "TRAP!" text with an arrow pointing towards it.

When an enemy player steps on the placed Shake Trap, the trap explodes, creating a pink colored spherical energy field, which rapidly grows and then contracts and disappears in about 2 seconds. The explosion causes no damage. Players who come in contact with the field, regardless of the team, will have the capture status effect applied to them.

While captured, the player is unable to move and attack, and can only look around and switch weapons. The effect lasts for a maximum of 10 seconds, but the captured player may escape faster by attempting to move in alternating opposite directions (left-right or forwards-backwards), which is indicated on the screen. Capture is one of the few status effects that can not be cured with the Recovery Injection.

Tactics

The Shake Trap can be bypassed by jumping over it. This will set off the trap without affecting the player, although it still may affect other nearby players.
