A trap pit is used mainly to hunt larger prey, such as various deer species and larger carnivores.

Trap-pits are commonly used to hunt big deer such as elks and reindeer.

Crafting requirements

To build the trap pit, it is first necessary to dig the pit at the chosen location with either wooden shovel or an iron shovel.

Usage

A shovel is needed to dig a pit which can then be covered. This is the most simple form of a trap-pit. It's also possible to place sharp wooden stakes at the bottom of the pit, which makes it an improved and more lethal form of a trap-pit. In case of trap-pits, fences are commonly used to guide the prey more efficiently into the trap-pits. Fence constructions can be rather long, having an opening with a trap pit here and there. An animal following along the side of the fence will drop into the pit when trying to go through the opening.

Strategy tips

Trap-pits are the trap of choice for trap-fence lines. Armed with stakes, they're also quite popular for home defense.
