Overview
The Hunter's Trap consists of several components:
- Weapon: The part of the trap that (with very few exceptions) determines the Power Type of the Trap.
- It is not possible to hunt without a weapon.
- Many weapons can have their appearance changed through the application of trap Skins.
- Base: The part of the trap that holds the weapon and bait.
- It is not possible to hunt without a base.
- The type of bait used often determines the mice the Hunter will encounter.
- It is not possible to hunt without bait.
- Charm: An optional trinket that can be added to the trap setup to change various trap attributes.
- Charms can affect trap statistics, the type of loot found, and the type of mice encountered.
A hunter's weapons, bases and charms appear in the Traps Inventory tab. A hunter can select which trap component is armed from the inventory page, from the primary Camp page, and also from a Trapsmith / Charm Shoppe just after purchasing a trap component. Additionally, each Hunter's Profile includes a status of how many trap components a hunter owns, split into lists of weapons and bases (charms are not displayed here) on the Items tab.
A hunter's baits appear in the Cheese Inventory tab. A hunter can select which cheese is armed from the inventory page, from the primary Camp page, and also from a Cheese Shoppe just after purchasing a trap component.
Trap stats
There are a number of factors that contribute to a trap setup's effectiveness when hunting.
- The overall strength of the component. Traps with higher power are more likely to catch mice.
- Mice have specific weaknesses to certain Power Types. Using the appropriate weapon in the appropriate area is a critical part of any hunter’s strategy.
- The power bonus of both weapon and base are added together and then applied to the total power of the trap, increasing its power.
- The attraction bonus boosts the attraction power of the bait being used increasing the odds of a mouse approaching a hunter’s trap.
- Some components are designed to offer small chances of catching a mouse regardless of the mouse’s strength. It is not uncommon for lucky traps to grant hunters the ability to catch mice that seem far too powerful for their trap.
- Any time a mouse is not attracted to a trap during a hunt there is a chance for the cheese to turn stale. Some components are built using harmful chemicals that increase the odds of spoiling bait. Traps with a fresh cheese effect help reduce the likelihood of cheese turning stale.
- Special Effects
- Many traps have special effects when used in certain locations, when specific weapons, bases, bait, and/or charms are combined, or against specific mice or mouse groups.
