Trap Bait — Detailed Guide

What Trap Bait is for

Trap Bait belongs to the Primitive Plus content of ARK: Survival Evolved. Its in-game text is short: "Lure for the deadfall trap." That is its entire job. You load the bait into a Deadfall Trap so the trap has something to draw a creature in with.

Making it

The engram unlocks at level 15 and costs 2 engram points. The recipe is about as cheap as Primitive Plus gets:

  • Ingredients: 1 Raw Meat
  • Result: 5 Trap Bait per craft
  • Crafting XP: 0.1

Since a single piece of Raw Meat becomes five baits, a small amount of meat covers a lot of trap refills.

Carrying and storing it

Each piece weighs 0.1 and the stack size is 100, so a full stack weighs only 10. That is light enough to keep a whole stack in your inventory whenever you go out to set or refill a Deadfall Trap.
