Detecting and removing traps

From UO:PvE Wiki

Detect Hidden locates traps; Remove Trap is a separate skill with two prerequisites.

Development source reviewed on 29 October 2026. In-game availability is unverified.

Detect first#

Use Detect Hidden and target a trapped container. Detection checks skill and requires distance within floor(Detect Hidden/10). Successful detection labels the container as trapped.

A ground or self search can temporarily reveal nearby dungeon traps. The current High Seas-or-later branch requires 75.0 Detect Hidden for those dungeon-trap reveals.

Disarm#

Remove Trap requires at least 50.0 Lockpicking and 50.0 Detect Hidden before targeting. Target a trappable container within 2 tiles. Success checks Remove Trap between trap power and trap power+30 and clears trap type, power and level.

A failed ordinary container disarm reports that the trap was not set off. That does not make opening the still-trapped container safe. Reuse has a 10-second skill delay.
