Guide: Acquiring Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is exhilarating, but to fully equip yourself with armor, you'll also need to master the art of trapping them. This requires Trap Tools, and here's how you can acquire and utilize them effectively.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't explicitly guide you on trapping or obtaining Trap Tools, the process is familiar if you've played previous games in the series.

To acquire Trap Tools, head to your Base Camp and visit the Provisions Stockpiler NPC. You can purchase Trap Tools from him at 200 Zenny each. It's advisable to stock up on these, particularly if your goal is to farm specific monsters or capture a variety of them throughout 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

With your Trap Tools in hand, you're ready to craft traps. Combine a Trap Tool with a Net (made from Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or use it with a Thunderbug Capacitor to craft a Shock Trap.

Both traps are effective, but keep in mind that some monsters are immune to specific traps. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, making the Pitfall Trap your go-to option in such cases.

Also, note that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is weakened.

That's the rundown on how to get and use Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more insights and tips, be sure to explore The Escapist's resources on the game.
