Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds: Acquisition Guide

Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, but mastering the art of trapping is crucial for gathering all the monster parts needed for forging armor. To trap effectively, you'll need Trap Tools. Here's your guide on acquiring and utilizing Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't provide explicit tutorials on trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, fans of the series will find the process familiar.

The primary way to obtain Trap Tools is by purchasing them from the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Simply interact with him, browse through his inventory, and you'll find Trap Tools available for 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on these, especially if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every type of monster in the game.

Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at Base Camp and cannot be found in the wild like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

Once you've acquired your Trap Tools, it's time to put them to work. You can combine them with a Net (crafted using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor to make a Shock Trap.

Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that certain monsters may be immune to specific traps. For example, Shock Traps won't affect Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, so in such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap instead.

Also, note that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so timing is key—use your trap when the monster is weakened for the best chance of success.
