Sons of the Forest: How To Get A Gun | 9mm Pistol Location Guide
Sick of smacking mutants around with your starting axe? You can grab a Pistol very early in Sons of the Forest. After crash landing on the mysterious island, you’ll acquire a GPS device with markers. The purple markers show the location of GPS Locators — tracking devices carried by the Beta Team. By tracking down these locators, you’ll be able to recover powerful weapons and gear. You can find a Shotgun off a buried mercenary, but that requires one of the harder-to-get key items. If you want a gun right away, you’ll be able to scavenge one from the location listed below. No fighting required.
The Pistol is basically required for delving into deep caves. While you can craft a bow, spear and other simple weapons, the Pistol can kill enemies with a single headshot. Aiming down the sights, you’ll be able to wipe out groups of enemies in extremely tight spots. If you want to rush and clear out caverns to get key traversal items, you’ll want the Pistol. As a bonus, you can get your hands on a weapon upgrade and a grenade with the locations listed below.
