As a harrowing game set during WWI, you can bet that Amnesia: The Bunker has a few nasty tricks up its sleeve to make your life underground just that little bit harder. One of the ways that Frictional want to make you suffer just a little bit more is by littering traps everywhere, though luckily there is a way of disarming them.

To disarm traps in Amnesia: The Bunker, players must get their hands on the Chain Cutters, which can be found in the Prison section. You will need to do quite a few steps before you get them though, as you will need to use the Lockdown Wheel to open the Prison section up and also get your hands on the Wrench, which involved getting Foreman Stafford’s code.

Once you have the Chain Cutters, you need to simply go into your inventory and then select them. You should now be able to disarm any traps that are tripwires, which will allow you to also take the explosive connected to them. This is a huge help to stop the stalker from hearing where you are once they’re triggered, though it’s a bit of a shame that you can only disable traps once you’re about half of the way through the game.

The Chain Cutters can also be used to remove padlocks, whether that’s on doors or on filing cabinets. You will need it in the main story in order to get to the Tunnels section.

Amnesia: The Bunker is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S.
