I hate trappers.

Remove trappers.
You heard the sound behind you, the trapper was actually at your side.
Not been the case for me, I can tell the difference just fine through my headphones.

They come for me two at a time.
And they always come for me, not for my teammates.
I would appreciate any tips you have that will make them not come for me.
That’s maybe more a problem with your audiosystem not correctly displaying sound direction. In my expirience the sound always comes from a correct direction.
When there are 3 trappers at the same time? Not really 
It happens very rarely even on stg or special spam maelstorm. And it’s basically the same as 3 bursters suddenly jumping at you from the door the moment they spawn.
Even if that is the case, someone in your team has to hunt specialists when they spawn. Engaged by melee enemies at the same time? Dodge and shoot, I do this all the time. If I end up getting hit once or twice in the process, it’s better than getting someone netted.
It was a horde mixed with crushers and ragers in a hi int shock troopers map and a lot of obstacles to navigate, not many places where to dodge 
Believe me, I would love to. But it’s not possible to do with the Boltgun. It’s too slow to switch to.
And I need my Boltgun for packs of Crushers.
Make sure you have a good sound system. Headphones or dual system at least. Helps a lot and I can dodge them pretty reliably. Just can’t get stressed and dodge too early otherwise they reaim and then fire.
You can use the mod to make enemies aggressive in the meat grinder to practice on trappers alone.
I would also say, to have them not target you, stick with the group in general. The AI director will normally spawn pox hounds and trappers when players are too far ahead or too far behind. If you bunch up in a corner they will likely send flamers and bombers. VT2 was the same way. The AI director adapts so you adapt to it.
Another thing is using mods that tell you what specials spawned, although that’s really annoying on shock trooper modifiers. But it gives you chat history of them spawning if you aren’t picking up the sound.

Thanks for the tips.
I generally try to follow the buddy system. That is, when one teammate wanders, I’ll run to them so we’re never alone. But I have noticed that Trappers spawn more often when there are two groups of two some distance apart. So maybe I should let the wanderers wander alone and stay with the others.

There is also the thing where the trapper spams their voice lines non-stop, constantly cutting themselves off halfway. Once had 3 trappers spawn in 3 different directions, but all the audio was coming from one in one direction.
