The Scab Trapper is a Specialist enemy in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, the co-operative shooter developed by Fatshark and released in 2022. Armed with a net gun, he disables a player until a teammate cuts them free, so learning his audio cues became part of surviving missions in the hive city of Tertium. Clips of the cues are shared by players as learning aids and memes, because that laugh gives veterans a split-second warning that a run is about to go wrong.
About this sound
Scab Trapper audio cues from Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, with his cackle and net gun noises that warn players he is about to trap a teammate.
This clip collects the distinctive audio cues of the Scab Trapper from Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, the enemy who hunts players with a net gun. You hear his wheezing cackle, rattling gear and the mechanical charge of his weapon building just before he fires. In the game those few seconds are a warning to dodge or take him down first. Out of game the sounds work as a tense, funny telegraph, instantly signalling to Darktide players that someone is about to get caught, pinned down or dragged into trouble they saw coming.
