If you think someone is going to put a Hitlist out on you, you can pay Cash, Stamina and Energy to set up a Booby Trap.

This will fire the next time they try to Hitlist you, killing them instantly!
Every player has a base price you must pay to set a Booby Trap, which is determined by their hourly income. If the player's income increases, so does the cost to set a Booby Trap.

If someone is placing more Booby Traps and Hitlists against you than you have placed against them, then the Booby Trap price will decrease. There is no hard limit on how far this price can drop. Only Hitlists and Booby Trap actions influence Booby Trap pricing, other aggressive actions have no effect on the amount paid to Booby Trap.

It's important to note that you cannot get off someone's Rival Record by dying via a Booby Trap — once you heal back up, your Rival will still be able to attack you normally, even if you are outside their normal level range, until the 24 hour period expires (assuming you don't continue to hit them back, which would extend the timer.)

To set a Booby Trap, navigate to a player’s profile.

Hit “Booby Trap” and a warning will pop up telling you the cost of doing so.

If successful, the game will inform you that a Booby Trap has been set!

To manage your Booby Traps, go to “Fight ”, then “Rival Squads” then click the “Ambushes and Booby Traps” Tab
