Sons of the Forest Pistol: How to get the Pistol – Rock Paper Shotgun
Looking for the Pistol in Sons of the Forest? Sons Of The Forest is full of terrifying enemies to fight, which means you’ll need to be equipped with the best weapons if you want to survive. Few weapons are more iconic than the classic Pistol, and this firearm will make your island life go by much easier.
In this guide, we’ll break down how to find the Pistol in Sons of the Forest, so that you can get this powerful weapon on the very first day. We’ll also explain how to find each of the Pistol attachments, so that you can kit it out for maximum performance.
On this page:
To get the Pistol in Sons of the Forest, you must head to the location marked on the map below. Usually, it would be marked with a purple marker that denotes a GPS locator, but we’d already picked it up before taking this image.
Once you arrive at the edge of the beach, you should see the red dinghy floating in the water in the distance. Swim out to the dinghy and look for the interact icon around the edge to climb aboard.
Once you’re on the dinghy, you’ll find the Pistol by your feet. You’ll also find some ammo nearby, along with some food and medicine.
To get Pistol ammo in Sons of the Forest, you’re going to have to explore across the island. You can’t make ammo yourself, so your only option is to start delving in caves and looting marked locations.
Keep an eye out as you explore landmarks, as you’ll often find a few bullets in boxes on the floor.
If you run out of ammo, or don’t want to waste your own bullets, we’d recommend handing the Pistol to Virginia. Virginia doesn’t need ammo to fire the Pistol, as she has an unlimited supply.
To get the Pistol rail, you must go back to the beach near where you first found the Pistol. Follow the image above to find the exact location, where you’ll find a corpse slumped against a rock. If you’re struggling to find the corpse, follow the music.
When you find the body, loot it to get the Pistol rail. There are also other items on the ground, including some food, ammo, a grenade, and some printer resin for the 3D printer.
The Pistol rail doesn’t technically improve the Pistol alone. Instead, you must combine the Pistol with the rail before you can use any of the other attachments, so it’s still incredibly important.
If you want to equip the Pistol with a flashlight, you can do so by finding the flashlight attachment in Sons of the Forest. To find the flashlight attachment, you must head to the cave where you find the shovel, pictured above.
This means you’ll also need to get the rebreather and find the rope gun in Sons of the Forest.
Once you arrive at the cave, head inside and use the rope gun to zipline down into the actual cavern. Then, dive into the nearby pool and swim down into the pit below.
Follow the underwater tunnel along until you resurface, and then get that Pistol out, because it’s fighting time. Shoot the mutants ahead, and then continue through their cavern until you find a slippy stream that you can slide down.
At the bottom, continue through the tunnels ahead until you find yourself in a room filled with – you guessed it – more mutants. You’ll technically move through two chambers here, and the second is where you’ll find the flashlight attachment. Follow the path to the back of the cavern to find the flashlight attachment on a corpse.
To find the Pistol laser sight, you’ll need to bring the shovel to the location marked above. When you arrive, you must dig until you find a maintenance hatch. Dig until you can open the hatch, and then head inside.
At the bottom of the ladder, head down the nearby corridor and continue until you find an open doorway to your side. Head through the door and look on the desks within to find the laser.
Before rushing out, make sure to also pick up the keycard in this room.
To get the suppressor, you must go to the location marked on the map above. As with the laser, you must equip your shovel when you arrive and dig until you find a maintenance hatch.
Climb down through the hatch and continue through the nearby corridor until you find another open door. Head through, and you’ll find the suppressor on a desk within.
That wraps up our guide on how to get the Pistol and all attachments in Sons of the Forest. If you’re after other key tools, check out our guide on how to get the modern axe in Sons of the Forest.

A YouTuber has spent more than $22,000 digitally purchasing every Wii U and 3DS game ahead of their Nintendo eShop shutdowns next week.
As reported by VGC, The Completionist uploaded a video sharing the endeavour which took 328 days to complete. Including DSi Ware, the Virtual Console, and DLC, the project saw 866 Wii U and 1,547 3DS games purchased in total.
The completed project, totalling a Wii U with three external hard drives and a 3DS with four micro SD cards, will be donated to the Video Game History Foundation to preserve the digital offerings that will otherwise cease to exist when the stores shut down on March 27.
The Completionist spent $22,791 spread across 464 eShop cards, which amassed to 1.2 terabytes of Wii U games and 267 gigabytes of 3DS, translated to 2,136,689 blocks (Nintendo’s own data measurement system).
These incredible numbers were just half the battle for The Completionist, however, as the Nintendo eShops of old don’t run as smoothly as the Switch’s version. The software is clunkier, slower, has limited search functionality, and even adding funds can get complicated.
Limits to purchasing eShop gift cards exist to prevent scams and such, meaning The Competionist’s team had to visit a ton of different stores to acquire the amount needed. The eShop also has $250 cap, meaning only so much could be added at a time before they had to start buying games.
Additionally, only around ten games could be purchased at a time before the 3DS forces users to download them, and it also restricts the total spend per day. Purchasing DLC on the 3DS must also be done in-game, with some games requiring partial or total completion before any additional content can be purchased.
The Competionist explains every hiccup in the video, but needless to say the process wasn’t plain sailing.
For those who do still have their Wii U or 3DS, be sure to purchase anything left on the wishlist ahead of March 27. IGN has compiled lists of the best Wii U games, which includes Super Mario Maker and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, and the best 3DS games, which includes Fire Emblem Awakening and Bravely Default.

There’s a lot of buzz about Artificial Intelligence(A.I.) these days. Some of us want to re-invent the Luddite Cause as well. What’s a Luddite and why re-invent it?
At the turn of the century in England possibly the greatest moment in human endeavors happened during the Industrial Revolution, a time when technology found its place as the new unannounced “God”, replacing rural agriculture with production schedules. The population began to move to the big city for employment in the many manufacturing facilities available at the time. What was normal and customary became outdated and shoved aside. The business people of the time knew nothing about human rights, safety within the workplace, or proper pay for the work done. It seemed to many that the new god of invention and technology was not a savior of humanity, but its oppressor instead. A group of like-minded English and Frenchmen gathered and attacked the premises of this technological miracle. Parts of humanity declared war upon technology, uncontrolled raw capitalism, and society’s evils. These people were known as Luddites.
Today our society faces a new challenge that threatens us in many ways. A.I. generated reality has come to life, replacing the norms of hard work, study, and personal application with A.I. generated Art, Codes to generate essays for students. CHAT GPT offers customers the ability to ask it questions and the computer system will write essays, work reports, studies, poems, and the such. A.I. is being applied to our healthcare systems, transportation, and workplace systems too. Has A.I. become so good at what it does that it can replace humanity?
Imagine going to your local church hoping for a well delivered sermon passionately delivered by loudspeaker and A.I. written and delivered too. You go to your place of business where through a computer, phone calls, and texts you are advised, directed, and managed by A.I. Not a person but a machine program. Fear is spreading among your fellow citizens that through A.I. applications the human experience is missing. Evidence of human emotions, reflections, expressions of hard work, and challenging human experience can disappear in time, replaced by cold efficiency and business terminology.
Has a Luddite been born today? Do you trust those who program and unleash Artificial Intelligence upon us all?
A.I. exists to make a profit for someone else. So if an enterprise can be more profitable, will you or your fellow employees face layoffs and possible replacement? How will this improve the planet’s present situation? High populations with jobs being replaced by A. Intelligence. What will unemployed surplus individuals do with their free time now? When the fishermen of Newfoundland could no longer fish their coasts due to overfishing, over a hundred thousand of them were retrained as computer programmers, with no place to practice their new profession.
When the profit margin is more important than human beings’ self-respect and rights, a situation opens for A.I. insertion. Is A.I. a friend or foe?
