Players report on the Steam forums that the Spring Trap has some untended glitches. While most of these aren’t game-breaking, they can cause issues for you if you are not careful. Here are the three that we know so far:
- If you open your inventory after getting launched by a Spring Trap you will be sent in the air three times higher than what should be possible.
- The E.U.C. Knight V can be launched an insane distance by the Spring trap.
- If you die while on a loaded spring trap, your body will be sent into the air. This means your revivable body will also be stuck in the air, which could cause issues.
