Sons of the Forest: Traps
Traps in Sons of the Forest can help defend you from enemies and allow you to capture game and fish. The following page of the guide describes the types of traps available, along with a list of materials needed to build them.
Last update:
Traps are a good way to surprise cannibals and mutants. It is worth setting them up in front of the shelter, so that uninvited guests will trigger them. On this page of the guide, you will find out what traps are available in the game and what materials you need to construct them.
