Is There a Way to Buy Traps and Tranq Bombs in Monster Hunter Wilds?

As players progress towards the later stages of Monster Hunter Wilds, they often seek to purchase traps, Tranquilizing Bombs, and sometimes, Large Barrel Bombs for frequent use during their hunting activities.

Can I purchase these traps and Tranq Bombs directly from a vendor instead of crafting them, so as to save time and skip a few interactions or additional steps? Here’s an efficient method for obtaining the traps and Tranq Bombs for your hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Where to Buy Traps in Monster Hunter Wilds

Beyond finding traps dropped by various wild beasts or native lifeforms, the most reliable method is self-crafting them. As these creatures won’t always drop traps each encounter, it’s wise to prepare your own traps before embarking on a hunt, hoping to ensnare the monster.

Instead of directly purchasing the traps, you can acquire the Trap Tool from vendors at any base camp within the Provisions Stockpile. This tool serves as the fundamental component for creating diverse types of traps. To craft a particular trap, simply mix it with another resource that matches the specific trap’s requirements. Here are some examples of traps and the resources required to build them:

1. Bear Trap – 10x Trap Tool + 5x Metal Scraps
2. Venomous Snake Trap – 8x Trap Tool + 6x Poisonous Herbs
3. Rabbit Snares – 7x Trap Tool + 4x Twine
4. Mammoth Trap – 12x Trap Tool + 15x Heavy Wood Planks
5. Rat Trap – 5x Trap Tool + 3x Light Metal Scraps

  • Pitfall Trap – Trap Tool & New
  • Shock Trap – Trap Tool & Thunderbug Capacitor

There are just two types of traps primarily employed for catching monstrous creatures. Pitfall Traps are designed to ensnare larger monsters, whereas Shock Traps temporarily disable their targets before capturing them.

Where to Get Tranq Bombs in Monster Hunter Wilds

To obtain Tranq Bombs, you’ll need to make them yourself because they aren’t sold in the store. To create one, gather a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom, resources that can be found throughout the world.

Instead of Dot Esports’ interactive Monster Hunter Wilds map making it hard to locate these resources, they are actually quite simple to find. With the filter icons menu accessible upon opening the map, you can easily pinpoint the nearest Sleep Herb or Parashoom to begin accumulating Tranq Bombs for future expeditions.

Tranq Bombs are typically employed for subduing monstrous creatures. The general approach involves employing a Tranq Bomb to induce slumber in the creature, followed by setting a trap upon it while it’s unconscious. Since trapping an active monster can be risky and time-consuming, it is wise to render it unconscious first before attempting to set the trap.
