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 chat with him, browse his inventory, and purchase Trap Tools for 200 Zenny each. Stocking up is highly recommended, especially for focused monster farming or completing your monster capture collection.
Currently, purchasing from the Base Camp is the only method to obtain Trap Tools; they are not found in the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
With Trap Tools in hand, it's time to deploy them strategically. Combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to craft a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to create a Shock Trap.
Both trap types 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 the better choice.
A crucial point: you can only carry one trap at a time. Use them wisely when the monster is vulnerable.
That's how to obtain and utilize Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more game tips and information, be sure to check out The Escapist.
