Traps Skin is an item that changes the appearance of the weapon to which they are applied on. There are two types of skins, namely Removable skins and Blueprint skins. Both types of skins do not affect trap statistics when applied.

Removable Skins

Removable skins do not require any crafting or changing of traps, letting the hunter easily express his/her unique style without the need to purchase several expensive traps. [1] When a compatible trap is armed, the "Change Trap Skin" button above the trap selector will turn from grey to orange. A popup will appear upon clicking the orange button, allowing hunters to toggle between the original and skinned version(s). These skins are located in the hunter's Inventory as a sub-tab within the Traps page.

The following is a table of the available Removable Skins which can be bought at the marketplace, traded via the Give To Friends page, or obtained via donating at any time.

Blueprint Skins

Blueprint skins are applied to the weapon by crafting it with the smashed trap parts. Unlike removable trap skins, the process is irreversible and cannot be used to complete a few specific tasks in Library Assignments. Weapons with blueprint skins appear on the Hunter's Profile as a different item from their original counterparts. These skins are located in the hunter's Inventory under the Blueprints section of the Crafting Items tab.

The following is a table of the available Blueprint Skins which can be bought at the Prize Shoppe and the marketplace.

History and Trivia

  • Trap Skins were first introduced into the game on 11 November 2010 together with the start of the King's Giveaway.
  • The skin system underwent an overhaul on 23 September 2011, when removable skins were made available. The in-game names of the original type of skins were changed from "skins" to "blueprints" so that the unique traps they produce remain the mark of a true MouseHunt Trap Collector.
