Although *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't explicitly guide you on trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, seasoned players will find the process familiar.
The primary method for obtaining Trap Tools is by purchasing them from the Provisions Stockpiler NPC located at your Base Camp. Simply speak to him, browse his inventory, and you'll find Trap Tools available for 200 Zenny each. Stocking up on these is highly recommended, especially if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every creature in the game.
It's important to note that Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at the Base Camp; you won't find them scattered throughout the game world like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
With your Trap Tools acquired, it's time to use them effectively. Combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to craft a Shock Trap.
While both traps are effective, remember that certain monsters are immune to specific traps. For example, Shock Traps are useless against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, making a Pitfall Trap the better option in this scenario. Also, keep in mind that you can only carry one trap at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is weakened.
That's how you obtain and utilize Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more game tips and information, be sure to check out The Escapist.
