Are you tired of running around Sons of the Forest with nothing but a measly Bow and Arrow to defend yourself? Well, fear not. This guide will show you exactly how to get your hands on the best early-game weapon: the Pistol in Sons of the Forest. With the ability to easily take down the many cannibals and mutants littered across the island, it's no shot that players want to get their hands on this gun. So here's where to find the Pistol in Sons of the Forest to get you armed and dangerous.
Where To Find Pistol In Sons Of The Forest: All Locations
To find the Pistol in Sons of the Forest, you must head to the northwestern part of the map. You'll want to follow the nearby river down to the shore from the helicopter crash site, specifically towards a purple marker that can be seen off the coast on the GPS map. Once you arrive at the location, you'll find a small camp and radio set up. It's worth noting that you can find a Pistol Rail Attachment on the beached corpse next to the camp, so don't forget to loot the body.
Now that you have the Rail Attachment, you'll need the Pistol to go along with it. The Pistol can be found on a raft in the ocean, which you'll need to swim out to retrieve. While you're there, pay attention to loot the dead body because you'll find one of the three GPS Locators in Sons of the Forest on their person. As a precaution, you may want to build a shelter on the beach to save your game if you are killed by sharks swimming around the raft in the ocean (you can kill them with a ranged weapon like a Bow and Arrow).
Otherwise, you can find another Pistol on the opposite side of the snowy mountains in Sons of the Forest. In fact, you can find not only a Pistol but also a Katana. However, getting to this hidden underground bunker won't be easy; you'll need the Maintenance Keycard to access it. But don't fret. We have dedicated guides explaining how to retrieve both items in the game. That said, once you've got your hands on that Pistol, don't forget to check out our guide on how to get unlimited ammo. With infinite ammo and a deadly Pistol in your arsenal, you'll be unstoppable!
And that's all there is to it - you now know exactly where to find the Pistol in Sons of the Forest. With this powerful weapon, you'll be better equipped to handle the dangers that lie ahead. Happy hunting!
