How to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, mastering the art of trapping them is crucial for collecting all the necessary parts to forge powerful armor. To successfully trap monsters, you'll need Trap Tools, and here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and use them effectively.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

*Monster Hunter Wilds* might not give you a detailed tutorial on trapping monsters or obtaining Trap Tools, but if you're familiar with previous entries in the series, you'll find the process quite intuitive.

To get your hands on Trap Tools, head to the Provisions Stockpiler NPC located at your Base Camp. Engage in conversation with him and navigate through his inventory until you spot the Trap Tools. Each tool will set you back 200 Zenny. It's wise to stock up on a good number of these, especially if you're aiming to farm specific monsters or capture a diverse range of creatures in the game.

Remember, the only way to obtain Trap Tools is by purchasing them at the Base Camp. Unlike other resources, you won't find them scattered throughout the wild.

How to Use Trap Tools

Once you've acquired your Trap Tools, it's time to learn how to utilize them effectively. You can combine a Trap Tool with a Net, crafted from Spiderweb or Ivy, to create a Pitfall Trap. Alternatively, pairing it with a Thunderbug Capacitor will produce a Shock Trap.

Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that some monsters have immunities. For example, Shock Traps won't affect Rey Dau, the lightning dragon, so in such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap instead.

It's also important to note that you can only carry one Trap item at a time. Therefore, it's strategic to deploy them only when the monster is in a weakened state.
