You don’t want to be left defenseless, so your first option, and the best of the beginning-game options, is the Spear. It’s fairly simple to make, and you can almost always craft it right away using resources you collect from the crash site. Keep reading to learn how to craft a spear in Sons of the Forest.
Sons of the Forest: How to Craft a Spear
Crafting a spear is fairly simple and can be done pretty early on in the game. You will need three different ingredients. Let’s look at them below and how to get each of them.
- Duct Tape
- 2x Stick
- Knife
You can collect Duct Tape within the crash site in the different totes and containers that can be found littering the ground. However, if for some reason you don’t get any, you can find them in other places as well. When you defeat enemies, they often drop Skin Pouches which contain a variety of resources that can’t be collected in the wild. Most of the time, skin pouches also contain Duct Tape, which is exactly what you will need.
Sticks are one of the easiest resources to find in the wild aside from logs, and take very minimal effort. However, since you spawn in the snowy mountains, it can be pretty hard to see sticks on the ground. The best way to collect them in this area is to take Kelvin to get sticks and bring them to you. He can find them, even beneath the snow, where we cannot see them.
Your knife can be found within the emergency pack you pick up off the ground when you first begin the game. To open the emergency pack, you have to place it in the center of your inventory, then select the gear button in order to open it. Along with the knife, you will also collect your GPS, a lighter, and an axe.
