The use of the deprecated transfer() function for an address will inevitably make the transaction fail when:
1) The claimer smart contract does not implement a payable function.
2) The claimer smart contract does implement a payable fallback which uses more than 2300 gas unit.
3) The claimer smart contract implements a payable fallback function that needs less than 2300 gas units but is called through proxy, raising the call’s gas usage above 2300.

Impact
The use of the deprecated transfer() function for an address will inevitably make the transaction fail when: 1) The claimer smart contract does not implement a payable function. 2) The claimer smart contract does implement a payable fallback which uses more than 2300 gas unit. 3) The claimer smart contract implements a payable fallback function that needs less than 2300 gas units but is called through proxy, raising the call’s gas usage above 2300.

Tools Used
manual audit
Recommended Mitigation Steps
I recommend using call() instead of transfer().
