It will also introduce a new trap mechanic to the game where players will be able to lay various hazards across the board to hunt the various beasties they'll face. This includes a standard bear trap, explosive barrels and what appears to be a Tesla coil of some description. Each will bring a different effect, for example, the bear trap will apply bleed to enemies in the same row.
