- With new updates, more items will be added as the game is still in early access.
- Some materials in Sons of the Forest are simple to collect as they are inside supply crates that lie outside the dangerous caves and bunkers.
- Some items are located deep inside the cave and are pretty tough to gather.
- The items in the list include consumables, weapons, crafting materials, and keycards.
General Items
Arm
Though it serves some minimal uses, like for edible and or for offensive means, it’s most likely added for comedic purposes. It can be chopped off from any Cannibal’s body.
Album Cover
You can find the Album Cover Collectible in Digsite – Maintenance A. The location of the side is on the Northwest side on your map.
Cash
The only purpose of cash in Sons of the Forest is to fuel up the fire. You can find Cash in skin pouches or cave bunkers.
Emergency Pack
Players obtain an Emergency Pack at the beginning of the game. The pack includes a GPS Locator, a Tactical Axe, a Lighter, and a Guide Book.
You must open the Emergency Pack early on to receive all these items. The Emergency Pack can be accessed from your inventory; just press I and gain access to it.
Golf Ball
Otherwise, a useless item that can be used to play. There is a golf course far Northeast; go there to collect at least two Golf Balls lying around.
GPS Locator
The GPS Locators act as a waypoint and appear on your GPS. Players can find multiple GPS locators throughout the island.
Head
You can decapitate almost any cannibal’s head off and use it as a scare tactic to scare off any unwanted visitors.
Leg
Just as the Arm and Head, Legs can be hacked off any cannibal’s body. You can cook and eat it.
Printer Resin
An item that helps 3D Printers to run and craft material. Resin is mostly found in 3D Printer rooms inside the bunkers. You may also become lucky and find them in crates scattered all over the island.
Seeds
Almost all plants come with seeds, including blackberries, aloe vera, and horsetail. Players can plant these seeds in a planter and grow their berries or plants.
Skin Pouch
Whenever you kill a cannibal, there is a slight chance of them dropping a Skin Pouch for you to loot. These Skin Pouches come with random items. Some of the items are Meds, Berries, Energy Bars, Coins, Cash, and Ammo.
Tent
A small base that helps players survive the night by sleeping in it and taking shelter. Players can create their tent by combining 1x Tarp and 1x Stick.
Tools
Shovel
A tool that can be used to dig. There is a cave west of the Snowy Mountains. That is where you find a shovel.
Air Tank
The Air Tank is a bottle of compressed air used to refill the rebreather. You can gather an Air Tank by looting underground bunkers, Shovel Cave located in the North-West, and the Rebreather Cave located far up north, along the seashore.
Binoculars
A tool used to scout out locations from far away distances. Binoculars are located at Northwest Seashore. More specifically, they are lying on a Kayak.
Can Opener
A tool used to open canned food items to restore hunger. There are three crash sites. Visit the one in the mountains and follow a stream nearby till you run across a tent. Here, you can find the Can Opener along with some Canned Food.
Cross
A type of weapon used against Demons to burn them in the end game. Cross is available in a cave located on the Western side of the Mountains. The cave entrance is covered with some wooden board.
Electric Chainsaw
It is a tool to make resource gathering quicker and can also be used as a weapon. Electric Chainsaw is inside a Recreational Facility located in a cave. Head to the 3D printer icon showing far west on your GPS and go inside the cave there.
Firefighter Axe
This axe can be used as both a tool/weapon. It deals incredible damage but slower than the other axes. The only known location of Firefighter Axe is Maintenance A Bunker, located on the Northwest side of the island. Dig the area with a Shovel to open up the bunker and start exploring for the Firefighter Axe.
Modern Axe
A tool/weapon with great damage. It is easily retrievable as it does not require any cave tour. Travel Northwest of the Snowy Mountains, and you will encounter some Black camp tents. Find a dead body right outside one of these tents and take the Modern Axe from it.
Flashlight
It has a normal mode to illuminate dark areas and a UV mode that possibly slows down cave dwellers.
Go west of the Snowy Mountains and look for a purple icon on your GPS. Here, climb up the cliff and cut off a tied rope you find with an axe. It will lead to a body falling off on the ground. Now, find the body and explore the area around it. There is a flashlight in that area.
Red Mask
A utility item that helps players blend in with Cannibals without getting attacked. Red Mask is a lower tier mask with Gold Mask being the high tier one. The only possible way of collecting a Red Mask is by crafting one yourself on the 3D Printer.
Gold Mask
Wearing the Golden Mask helps players avoid cannibal attacks. On the southeastern area of the Snowy Mountains. There is a cave east of that lake.
Go inside and visit Level 5. Inside, you will find the golden mask.
3D Printed Sled
3D-printed sled that can be used for transportation. Gather 1000ml of Printer Resin and use a 3D printer to get the Sled.
Glider
Avoid walking down from a cliff; simply equip the Glider and jump off. You can cover long distances shortly and more entertainingly with a Glider. Glider is located on Snowy Mountain, specifically on a cliff towards the West.
Rebreather
An extremely useful tool that helps players breathe underwater. The rebreather is inside a cave located up North near the coast.
Repair Tool
A tool that assists players in repairing any handmade material. You can craft a Repair Tool yourself by combining 1x Rope, 1x Stick, and 1x Rock.

Keycards
Guest Keycard
Go to the cave west of the Snowy Mountains, right in front of a river flowing. The cave entrance has a cart in front of it. Make sure you have a Maintenance Keycard before you enter the cave for Guest Keycard.
Maintenance Keycard
A keycard that helps unlock multiple doors inside various bunkers. There is a bunker Northwest of the Snowy Mountains. Moreover, the location is marked with a green signal-type circle on your GPS. That bunker is hidden under some dirt, so get your shovel ready. Once inside, explore the bunker till you find the Maintenance Keycard.
VIP Keycard
There is a cave North of the island with two abandoned Golf Carts right outside of its entrance. That cave has the VIP Keycard you are looking for.
My Experience
During my playthrough of Sons of the Forest, I noticed almost every item has its purpose, making the game engaging with endless possibilities. Although players might not get to experience all the items mentioned in this Guide, I certainly did not either.
It takes multiple playthroughs to completely get hands-on experience with everything the game has to offer. So, I’d recommend playing through the game at least twice to maybe get a chance to play around with everything.
