You should be gathering the best early game items when you start out in Sons Of The Forest. Although a rope may not be the first thing you see, it is certainly worth getting.
How to find rope in Sons Of The Forest
From what we know so far, the rope is not the easiest tool to get while exploring the Sons Of The Forest map. This may not come as a surprise to any experienced survivor, considering that it is not a natural resource.
It seems the developers are well aware that finding the rope quickly will help us get a head start on our crafting. Both the suitcases and the crates that are scattered around your spawn point after a crash landing are a good place to start your rope search.
Obviously, carry-on luggage at the accident scene isn’t an endless supply, so here are a few other places to look out for after you’ve used that up:
- Beaches, for washed up objects and shipwrecks
- Cliffs, with climbing equipment presumably left over
- Enemy camps (with caution)
- Caves (ideally with a light source to explore)
What can you use the rope for in Sons Of The Forest
The rope is useful for all kinds of different craft jobs. After all, you can never have too much rope, so it’s good to stock up where you can and get the most out of your collection. It is survival of the fittest, after all. These are some of the things that you can build in Sons Of The Forest with the use of ropes.
- Shelters
- tree house foundations
- platforms
- traps
- towers
- weapons
Hopefully you can get enough rope in the wild to get your camp going and give yourself a decent chance of survival in Sons Of The Forest.
Is the rope an important element in Sons Of The Forest?
We would say that any type of item that improves your chances of survival is important in Sons Of The Forest. With that being said, rope is a valuable asset to have stocked up in your inventory. Admittedly, there are definitely some more important resources: food, drinks (or a way to store your water), and weapons are what immediately come to mind.
Regardless, rope is much more useful when it comes to getting familiar with the game’s crafting and building system. One key thing to note is that many enemies are incapable of rope climbing, so something like roped base access (with a treehouse, for example) is valuable.
