About Me

My Hunter Profile

What I Am Up To

  • Just finished Trap Setup Options for all levels. No plans to do Ronza area as I don't think people really hunt there and just go there to buy limited edition stuff.
  • Guidelines for Trap Setup options
    • Should be level appropriate - do not include traps or bases that are not available to the hunter
    • This means excluding limited edition bases like the polar base and weapons like the PartyBot.
    • The Trap Setups pages are not a value judgement on if setups are worth it. Few recommend buying the DDB or BG - even though they can work well at certain locations.
    • Rankings are determined by the MouseHunt Catch Rate Estimates based on minimum level to access the location, and an inactive gold shield.
  • I am also starting a Commonly Asked Question page that may one day replace the FAQ page.

Trap Setup Options

Areas that need work

  • Would like to have a better understanding of how loot drops work. What is the drop percentage of various loot by location and what is the impact of luck.

Commonly Asked Questions

Members of the MouseHunt community ask the same questions over and over as people go through the different stages of the game. While the developers are updating the game with new traps and locations that impact game play and balance, the purpose of this page is to share the collective wisdom of what has been learned.
