While Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't explicitly guide you on trapping or obtaining Trap Tools, seasoned hunters will find the process familiar.

Your primary source for Trap Tools is the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Simply talk to him, browse his inventory, and purchase Trap Tools for 200 Zenny each. It's highly recommended to buy several, especially if you're focused on farming specific monsters or aiming for a complete collection.

Importantly, Trap Tools are only available for purchase at the Base Camp; you won't find them scattered throughout the game world.

How to Use Trap Tools

With your Trap Tools acquired, it's time to use them. Combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to craft a Shock Trap.

Both traps are effective, but remember that certain monsters are immune to specific traps. For example, a Shock Trap is useless against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon. In such cases, a Pitfall Trap is your best bet.

Keep in mind that you can only carry one trap at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is vulnerable.
