Proximity Trigger

The Proximity Trigger begins as a humble, dime-sized black box with a trailing wire, designed to serve as a wired sensor for conditional trap activation. Across the series, this unassuming component evolves from a basic crafting ingredient into a cornerstone of Carl's increasingly elaborate trap engineering, enabling ever-more sophisticated and lethal dungeon defenses. Its consistent presence underscores Carl's growth from reactive survivor to strategic mastermind, as he leverages the trigger's reliability to orchestrate complex, multi-stage ambushes that turn the dungeon's own mechanics against it.
