- "These soldiers think their training will keep them alive. They break down doors and come through windows, weapons drawn. They check the corners, watch each other's backs, and give the all clear. But it's too late. They forgot the first rule of survival. A real hunter always watches where he steps."

Gameplay Description
A Medium Armored Operator, Kapkan's unique gadgets are his EDD MKII Tripwires that he can set on doors or window to detonate when enemies pass through them.
- Kapkan has up to five Entry Denial Devices on doorways and windows. The devices will trigger once its tripwire has been triggered by an enemy, dealing heavy damage to anyone and anything in its explosive radius.
- Each EDD device can be attached to the frame of a doorway or window. Only one device can be deployed on each frame.
- Take note that EDD devices cannot be placed at the very bottom of a doorway or window. For doorways, will be around a third of a meter from the floor, while windows will be at around chest height of a standing Operator. The opposite is true where the devices cannot be placed too high on the frame.
- Base damage of a Tripwire is 60, and like other explosives, this damage is affected by an Operator's Armor Type. This makes it so that Operators with Medium or Heavy Armor will receive 51 and 45 damage respectively from the traps.
- The Tripwire has an effective range of 3 meters before dropping off harshly.
- The EDD device works well with anything that can help obstruct doorways or windows, such as Deployable Shields and Barricades.
- If an Attacker melees through a Barricade, if placed wisely, their arm can trigger the Tripwire.
Counters
- Kapkan’s EDDs can be destroyed with a single gunshot.
- As an electronic device, EDDs are suceptible to the same disadvantages as other gadgets of its type.
- Ash, due to the explosive and flexible nature of her Breaching Rounds, can destroy Barricades and Deployable Shields on doorways or windows, also removing any EDD device on the frame as she enters through it.
