While Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't explicitly guide you to Trap Tools, seasoned hunters will find this 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. Stock up—especially if you're focused on farming specific monsters or aiming for a complete collection.

Trap Tools are exclusively purchased at Base Camp; you won't find them scattered in the wild like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

With your Trap Tools acquired, it's time to strategize. Combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor for 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, opt for the Pitfall Trap.

Also note: you can only carry one trap at a time. Use them wisely when the monster is vulnerable.
