Trap List
The Burgle Cats Guide
In The Burgle Cats, your manor serves as your crew’s base of operations and will have various facilities to help you and your crew to climb through the Burgle League ranks. Your manor can also be targeted by players so aside from managing your facilities, you’ll have to continuously and regularly improve your manor security. In this page, we’ll feature the list of traps available in the game.
This Trap List is updated as of version 1.5.3.
You can only install up to 12 traps (of any kind) in your manor. Your manor’s fake vaults, main (real) vault, 3 Guard Doges, and Cat God’s Shrine does not count towards this trap limit. You can freely move the traps and other facilities around but doing so will delete the replays of previous heist attempts on your manor. Each trap has its cost as well. This is the red dots under their portraits. Your manor can hold a total of 35 points worth of traps.
Guard Doges are asleep by default and it’s actually safe to pass by them as long as there is no noise produced by traps. Once they capture an intruder, they’ll normally return to sleep so if ever your cat dropped the treasure in the room with a guard doge, it’s still safe to retrieve it, as long as you didn’t make additional noises.
Guard Doges inside fake vaults will leave the manor along with the captured cat. They’re also known to leave their vaults once an alarm or noise (produced by traps within its range) has been triggered.
