Born and raised in Kovrov, Basuda is the eldest of three sons of parents who were factory workers. Hoping to escape a grueling life in the factory, he enlisted with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was sent to Naryan-Mar, a small sea and river port town on the Barents Sea. Basuda became an avid hunter and trapper during his time in the Arctic Circle, before being transferred to Beslan in 2002.
Basuda is a self-sufficient realist. He has seen the harsh reality of the world and does not allow that to hinder his ability to act. He's fascinated by psychology; what allows one creature to become a hunter and the other prey..
Kapkan can deploy his homemade Entry Denial Devices on doorways and windows. Upon detonating, most enemies in the explosive radius will suffer heavy damage, if not killed outright. It is advised to set the traps away from any areas of interest as it will also destroy any barricades, surrounding structures, or may injure nearby teammates.
Kapkan’s EDDs are susceptible to a single shot like any other electronic gadget. They are also vulnerable to Thatcher's EMP Grenades.
It is an option to keep the EDDs away from objective locations, as attackers usually enter these areas with explosives, often destroying them. Instead, they should be placed in the entrances to buildings, where attackers are less likely to suspect traps.
Kapkan's EDDs shouldn't be placed at doors which are reinforced with Castle's armor panels, as they are usually breached with explosives which will destroy the trap.
Kapkan (Russian: Капкан) means "trap" in Russian.

"Device primed, keep an eye on door!"
Kapkan is a very efficient trapper, being capable of placing his traps inside doorways and windows, which will be detonated by enemies going through them. The EDD Mk II can be mounted into windows and door frames. It explodes when enemies enter trapped entryways, projecting shrapnel at anyone located in the device’s blast radius.
This lightweight mine design comes with a long screw to embed the device in door and window frames. The EDD Mk II utilizes a packed C4 charge to propel an assortment of screws held in stasis by a silicon pad. The EDD Mk II proves necessity is the mother of invention.
Kapkan was one in a hand full of police officers to survive the Beslan School Siege.
