Sons of the Forest Patch 14

Four new arrow variants

So far, we were able to craft or collect three types of arrows in Sons of the Forest: Carbon, 3D printed and stone arrows. Thanks to Sons of the Forest Patch 14, we now have the opportunity to add more variety to the arrows. You can now equip them with fire, electricity, poison or explosives. All new variants can be made on the basis of a stone, 3D printed or carbon arrow. You will need the following resources in addition to the arrows:

• Fire arrows: In addition to arrows, you need cloth and alcohol for fire arrows
• Shock arrows: In addition to arrows, you will also need batteries, wire and a circuit board here
• Poison arrows: For these arrows, you also need snowberries and red poisonous mushrooms
• Explosive arrows: Batteries, wire, a block of C4 and a circuit board are required for this

The new arrows work as follows: Fire arrows are set on fire with the lighter and then warm the heart of the enemy they hit. The name of the shock arrows already gives you an idea of how they work: You shoot the arrows at an enemy and they freeze for a brief moment, which is perfect for giving them the final coup de grace with your weapon. You should be careful with the large mutants, as they do not react quite as well to shock and poison arrows due to their increased health. Poison arrows slowly suck the health out of your opponent, but explosive arrows are the most effective. If they hit an opponent, it takes a short moment and with a bit of luck the entire opponent will be blown to pieces in the air. That not only sounds like a lot of fun, it is, promised!

New blueprints - traps and more

You can find a total of five new blueprints, including three traps and two other structures. The traps are particularly exciting because they are something completely different from the previous ones in Sons of the Forest and promise a lot of entertainment. You can find the following building instructions since patch 14:

• Clock: The blueprint for a clock that shows you the time using two arms. You can find the instruction in one of the three ice caves
• Spotlight: A spotlight casts light in a slightly larger cone of light and creates atmospheric fortress entrances. You can find the instruction manual in a fisherman's hut, which also contains the instruction manual for a chair made of meat
• Spin trap: You can find this instruction in another fisherman's hut. Once you have set up the trap, it must be triggered by an enemy. As soon as this happens, the arms shoot up and spin very quickly, similar to the rotor blades of a helicopter, shredding everything nearby
• Projectile shooting trap: The building instruction for this trap can be found in one of the three ice caves. When the trap is triggered, it automatically shoots up to four spears at the enemy standing directly in front of it. However, the trap not only shoots the spears automatically, you can also operate it manually
• Grinder trap: Probably the most exciting trap of the three new traps is the one we affectionately call the Grinder. You will find the instruction for this in the new cave, in addition to the second last mysterious item. When an enemy approaches the trap, it starts up and pulls the enemy into itself, shredding it into small pieces - yay!

Hidden little cave and Igor

Also new in Sons of the Forest Patch 14 is a small cave, which consists of several levels and can be found hidden in the basement of a hut. As mentioned above, you can also find the instructions for the Grinder trap and the second last mysterious item there. Of course, the new patch also includes a new enemy. May we introduce? Igor. He wears antlers made of branches on his head and is very aggressive, because he charges at you and knocks you down, drains a lot of your health and never rests. So either get out of his way or kill him as soon as you see him.

More new features in patch 14

• The ice caves have all been reworked and expanded immensely, several levels are connected via holes with ropes attached to them and offer some new things to explore
• In the caves and huts you will find new notes that reveal more about the story of Sons of the Forest. You can now find previously collected notes in the inventory at a glance and look at them again
• In addition to the five new blueprints, there are also two new instructions in the book. A double bed, which is made of 40 sticks, 4 tree trunks, 2 duct tapes and 2 deer hides and a spear holder, which is made of 40 sticks
• There are also many cosmetic updates, for example you will no longer find the silver tarps carefully folded on the ground, they now hang over trees, lie spread out and crumpled over tree trunks or skeletons
