Argh! I'm in Preoria, go in to a yellow passkey room (hadn't saved in a while, I was only playing for 15 minutes but had gotten lucky in some fights) to open the desk I find inside, when lo and behold the desk explodes and one of my front line guys (most important kind of guy in this mission) gets killed... needless to say, I'm left asking "WTF." Oh yeah, there's some leather armor Mark II in there... not like I give a shit; turret battles are now going to take twice as long if I leave it this way and I DON'T feel like going over all this again. Being careful couldn't have helped here, either... Can someone please give me tips other than "save often" for avoiding these developers' "heh, when people buy our game and go to preoria, they will get frustrated beyond hell after a 2-hour turret battle that led them to restarting because of our bomb-rigged 60 year old desk."'s? It would really help, because these things annoy the shit out of me and it feels like the developers got angry about being fired and went to the factories, scratching the gold CD's with their car keys and adding in "Game over try again"-type things to piss off the customers and the IP QA guys. DAMNIT!!

AND HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THIS DESK, WHICH WAS PROBABLY MADE 80 YEARS BEFORE MY CHARACTERS WERE EVEN BORN, HAD A BOMB PLACED IN IT BY MILITARY OFFICIALS TO SOMEHOW DEFEND SOMETHING THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY WORTH NOTHING TO THEM OR ANYBODY ELSE!!??!?!? HOW THE HELL DOES THE BOMB STILL EVEN WORK?!?!? THIS DEFIES ALL FUCKING REASON!!!!!!

Sorry, I just had a surge of temper; and I won't regret if you delete this for being a "this game sux monkey balls" post.

I'm just... pissed off, that's all...
 
Don’t fight the turrets, you would only waste time and ammo as you have found out. As for the trapped desk and how to avoid it, use some one with high traps skill you aren’t supposed to know that the ting is trapped since that is the point of trapping the thing;-)
 
Two ways to help yourself...
1- Search for traps just hit "4" with a man with a good trap skill point it at the shelf, desk etc and it will disarm the bobby trap etc. Or it will let you know if it is trapped/
2- Quick Save great featre
 
FYI - someone with high traps will automatically attempt to find traps when opening stuff. I got lucky the first time and my main found the trap, I was like "whoa!" then I was able to disarm it...
