2010 Blastoff Trap

2010 Blastoff Trap  ( 2600 power )

Happy New Year! This would be a good tactical filler for newer players until you reach the HVMT.

Power Type: Tactical
Power Bonus: 15%
Attraction Bonus: n/a
Luck: 25
Cheese Effect: Very Stale

It's time to welcome in the new year! Lying in wait behind this colorful pile of fireworks is a diligent little droid, waiting to make the first catch of 2010. When a mouse takes the bait, the droid pushes the plunger, and in a blinding flash of light and color the mouse sails up into the stratosphere, tied to a colossal rocket by the rope around his foot. The mouse can use the banner as a parachute, if he's smart, but that all depends on whether or not the banner catches fire during launch.

Gingerbread House Surprise Trap

Gingerbread House Surprise  ( 2200 power )

Strange that the Mousehunt developers didn't label this as a Limited Edition, since it will probably no longer be available to loot and craft after the Christmas Festive season. Anyway, it's worth collecting - Merry Christmas folks!

Power Type: Tactical
Power Bonus: 10%
Attraction Bonus: 10%
Luck: 8
Cheese Effect: Über Fresh

Warmth and the smell of baking cheese biscuits draw mice into this charming little gumdrop house, where they will find a present, waiting just for them. The mice unwrap the present, to find, in place of the cheese biscuits, a mouse-sized parachute. Once the mouse puts on the parachute, a burst of reverse Santa magic shoots it out the chimney, into the air to a land far away. Being flung into the air isn't what the mouse had on its list, but it's the thought that counts.

Giant Speaker

Giant Speaker ( 2,850 Tactical Power )

Interesting trap that Ronza brought about. And with this shipment, a whole lot of RockStar mice also came along and infested many locations in Gnawnia.

Apart from the Limited Edition status, discussion board opinions are mixed about the worth of getting this trap.

Power Type: Tactical
Power Bonus: 5%
Attraction Bonus: 5%
Luck: 22
Cheese Effect: No Effect

Cost: 612,800 gold
Points Required: 91,000
Refund for 110,304 gold

This trap is guaranteed to harsh any rocker's mellow. The minute a mouse comes into the range of the ring of microphones, the slightest noise is amplified a billion times, rocketing them across the room on a wave of sound. Collecting mice is a cinch when they're disoriented and temporarily hard of hearing.

Has anyone caught Rockstars with this trap?

Radioactive sludge has accelerated the growth of this Venus Mouse Trap and given it what appears to be a healthy appetitive for mice.

Personally, I don't know why you'd bother to build this trap.. Ok ok, it's a cheaper alternative to the ZLM.. But since you are here, the next Venus Mouse Trap is sooo within reach..

8 x Droid Parts
3 x Rice Paper
5 x Wood
Description: 3000 power
Power Bonus: 5%

This peaceful setting for tea and a light snack appears to be the perfect spot for war-hardened mice to pause for some peaceful rest and meditation. Yet behind a thin paper wall lies a robot ambush of epic proportions! The loyal droids follow the will of their controlling hunter to either capture and exile mice or use their high speed reflexes for a heavy battle that is sure to erupt into various explosions and montages.

You might note that you'd require 5 crafting items to make this trap. This means that you have to be a Legendary to be able to SAFELY make the Ambush. You may also attempt this at a Grandmaster level, but you risk losing all the items should you fail to craft it. More about Crafting Slots at the MouseHunt Crafting Guide

The pieces of this weapon come to life when a mouse approaches the trap's bait, the battle that follows is quick and decisive.

Tactical : Apparently mice caught have a greater chance of dropping things. Yes, even the regular ones may drop something when caught...
