Resistant Traps

Crawler-placed traps scattered across no-man's-land that survive the bombardment untouched, awaiting enemy contact.

Story so far

As Carl crosses No Man's Land during The Charge, he notes the gleam of resistant traps glittering across the wasteland, entirely undisturbed by the artillery, poison rocks, grenades, and pulse fire tearing everything else apart. That resilience is the point of the name — they resist the battlefield's own destruction.

Critically, they are all the crawlers' own: the field between the lines has been seeded with the Democratic Sortion's traps, which the charging crawlers can run past safely while any enemy counterattack across the same ground would not.

Appearance

Glinting trap devices scattered across churned battlefield ground, visibly intact amid rubble and craters.

Role

Crawler-laid ordnance covering no-man's-land against an enemy counterattack.

Relationships

No Man's Land — Seeded across it and left intact by the bombardment.
Carl — Notes they are all on his own side's account as he runs past.
