The Zapper Trap is different from most Traps seeing as it doesn't only occupy one side of the wall. Both sides will have a Zapper that will activate when an enemy is near.
Does 50 Health Damage
The Zapper Trap complete bypasses shield and does immediate health damage instead. Even with full shields, players will take health damage from it.
Short Range Trap
Similar to other traps, the Zapper will only activate when an enemy comes near it. It only has a single tile activation so it's pretty short ranged.
