The Most Important Questions About Weapons in Sons of The Forest Answered

1. How do you switch weapons in SOTF?

You can switch the weapon either through your inventory (I) or through the quick selection bar. You also equip this in the inventory by placing your mouse over the desired weapon and then pressing a key from 1 to 6. Here you can also place a torch or similar.

Here you see how to use the quick slot bar.

2. How can I improve weapons?

There are three different ways to improve your weapons or to inflict more damage with them. For one, you can build fire, explosive, or shock arrows for the handmade bow and the compound bow.

On the other hand, you can improve firearms with various attachments:

  • Rail: The rail allows you to screw attachments onto your firearm.
  • Laser: The laser sight is a laser pointer that should make aiming easier for you.
  • Flashlight: With the help of the flashlight, you can also fight against your enemies in caves or the darkness of the night. If the flashlight is attached, you cannot use a laser.
  • Suppressor: There is a suppressor for the pistol, which greatly reduces the volume and thus attracts fewer enemies.

The third and last variant to improve your weapons works with the ore Solafite: You have to mine this ore with the pickaxe in certain caves and then melt it in a furnace. Add a weapon and it will be gilded. But be careful: Demons and mutants spawn during the improvement process.

Author's tip: Only improve melee weapons with the Solafite furnace! Unfortunately, the damage of firearms is not improved by the Solafite. You can learn more about the topic in the detailed guide to weapon upgrades with Solafite.
