Evil Genius 2 How To Put Traps Guide

Preamble

 
As a disclaimer, I have been figuring out most of this through SCIENCE! Also known as baiting hapless level 1 investigators into a danger room and then disposing of them with a real danger room to get a fresh wave. 
 
I don’t guarantee all my numbers to be 100% correct. I also haven’t yet unlocked the tier 3 and 4 traps just yet, and I will update this guide as I do. Please feel free to comment with any corrections or additional notes!
