Strategy Guide[]
This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.The Chiller can be used for offense, as well as defense:
Offensive[]
- Placing a Chiller in an enemy structure can be useful for disorientating them. On top of this, it is very hard to gain height when your feet are frozen, as ramps or pyramids will cause you to slide off them.
- A Chiller can be used on a player who is need a steep slope or sudden drop, as the loss of movement control can cause them to fall down. This can possibly launch someone into the storm
Defense[]
- A Chiller is very useful for gaining quick momentum, as it can be used near a steep slope you have created to gain quick speed and traverse great distance.
- Using a Chiller in combination with a Bouncer can result in great distance, as speed built up from a Chiller, alongside a height boost from a Bouncer can allow for long distances covered with no fall damage.

Trivia[]
- The Chiller is currently the only Common trap in Battle Royale.
- It was a winter themed trap, but it released in season 6 which wasn't a winter themed season. In Season 7, which was a winter season, the Chiller got ironically vaulted.
- The Chiller has Rare variants in UEFN which are seperate versions for floors, wall and ceilings. This was likely done so it's easier to place the trap in the editor.
