Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't explicitly guide players on trapping or acquiring Trap Tools, but seasoned players will find the process familiar.

The primary method for obtaining Trap Tools is purchasing them from the Provisions Stockpiler at your Base Camp. Each Trap Tool costs 200 Zenny. Stocking up is advisable, particularly for focused monster farming or comprehensive monster capture endeavors.
Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at Base Camp; they cannot be gathered in the game world.
Utilizing Trap Tools
Once acquired, Trap Tools are used to craft traps. Combine them with a Net (and either Spiderweb or Ivy) for a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor for a Shock Trap.
While both trap types are effective, remember that certain monsters are immune to specific traps. For example, a Shock Trap is ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon. In such cases, utilize a Pitfall Trap.
Note that only one trap can be carried at a time. Strategically deploy traps when the monster is vulnerable.
