2. Second Wire Large.jpeg Repeat this once more to fire the second shot that connects the second tripwire to the first tripwire.
3. LureEnemies Large.jpegLure enemies to the trip wire to cause damage.

Keep in mind that anchoring the tripwires too far away from Aloy snaps the tripwire line. A snapped tripwire line cannot be reused. Also make sure to keep your distance, as Aloy can be damaged by wires that are set.
