Watching the various videos, what is the best way to trigger the dart traps over head? They seem too fast running to be hit by them. Also do traps damage each other?

The best way to maximize dart traps is to stop or slow the zombie in some fashion (electric fences, barbed wires, water, etc.), then use a trigger plate on the ground, on a 1:1 basis, to trigger the dart trap. In my builds, each dart trap is hitting the zombie 4-5 times before they pass to the next dart trap.

If you don’t slow them, they will run too fast making the dart traps worthless.

Regarding damage, I’ve never had dart traps shoot at each other, but I do know that they do not damage the trigger plate on the ground. I would assume they don’t damage other dart traps, but I cannot confirm.

I don't think you should get too used to using that force field. You know they'll fix that relatively quickly.

I dunno, it worked in A17 and they still haven't.
