Ziplines are essential traveling tools in the game Sons of The Forest, as they can help you get down a slope in no time. However, where to find rope guns and how to use them could be confusing. In this guide, you will learn how to get the rope gun and set up ziplines in the game.
The rope gun is a vital item in Sons of The Forest, as it allows you to set up ziplines and make travel faster. It also serves as one of the prerequisites for getting the shovel, another most important item in the game.
Sons of The Forest Rope Gun Item Location
The rope gun can be found in a cave on the western edge of the map, between the ocean and snowy mountains. You can find the exact location using your GPS locator. This area is a bit difficult and will require a lot of preparation before entering it, so be sure to take all your weapons, food, water, and any health items you may need with you.
The rope gun is in a cave near the helicopter crash site. Once you arrive at the cave, enter the cave and proceed until you see a large room. After you see the large room, head to the left and find a new passageway. But be careful because this is the way you will encounter cannibals and mutants. Follow the pathway till you see a fork in the road. The left path will take you to the rope gun you wanted, while the right direction will take you to a new lore.
Since you are here to get the rope gun, you need to take the left path and move through the cave until you reach another fork in the road. This time you need to follow the right path until you reach a cliff with a rope gun in a briefcase.
The rope gun can be located in a cave on the map’s western side, between the sea and the snowy mountains.
How to Get a Rope Gun in Sons of The Forest?
The cave is a bit dangerous, and you will face waves of Cannibals and mutants. You should bring a Stun Baton with you to fight these monsters, but if you don’t have this weapon, you will need to use a gun or pistol.
You’ll need to walk toward the left side of the cave. As mentioned before, a lot of cannibals will be awaited you at the entrance in the first left narrow corridor right after you see the large room. Before that, you’ll encounter two dead bodies and a monster stuck in a narrow opening. When you reach these, pick up the time bombs they are holding. You can throw these time bombs to open the entrance without having trouble with the mutants waiting for you at the cave’s entrance. That will kill the monster and give you a wider opening to explore.
After that, you need to follow the abovementioned path to get the rope gun. Briefly, you should first take the left path of the first fork in the road and then the right path of the second fork. Once you reach a cliff with a rope gun in a briefcase, collect the rope gun and use it on the zipline to reach the cave exit.
You can use rope guns to create a zipline and ride those ziplines.
How To Use The Rope Guns?
Ziplines can be made by equipping the rope gun and shooting it at a place on the environment; this will produce one of the zipline’s ends.
A white dot will appear on the screen, indicating the location of the zipline. After the first point is set, use the rope gun to set the other end of the zipline.
The rope gun can also be used to interact with ziplines already established on the map. These prebuilt ziplines can traverse the map and explore areas that would otherwise be inaccessible without a rope gun.
To create a zipline, you need to first craft a rope and then shoot it at the ground twice to establish two grapple points. You should then aim the line at a tree, rock wall, or man-made wall to attach it to both ends. Then, you can fire the rope gun and ride down the line to a preset destination.
As mentioned before, the rope gun is located in a cave that’s deep within one of the mutant-filled cave systems in Sons of The Forest. Finding it can be tough, but if you’re willing to risk the elements, then you can get it.
