"Guide to Acquiring Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Slaying monsters is thrilling, but to gather every monster part for crafting armor, you'll also need to master the art of trapping them. This requires specific materials, and in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, getting your hands on Trap Tools is crucial. Let's dive into how you can acquire and use these essential tools.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* might not explicitly guide you on trapping monsters or obtaining Trap Tools, if you're a veteran of the series, the process will feel familiar.

The primary way to get Trap Tools is by visiting the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage with him and browse through his inventory until you find the Trap Tools, which are priced at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on a good number of these, especially if your goal is to farm specific monsters or capture a variety of them.

Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at the Base Camp; you won't stumble upon them out in the wild like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

Once you've acquired your Trap Tools, it's time to deploy them effectively. 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 form a Shock Trap.

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

Also, keep in mind 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 acquiring and utilizing Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
