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.
  • Bait: Also called cheese, this is the part of the trap that brings the mice to the Hunter.
  • 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.
