In Sons of the Forest, five traps are available for players to craft and use<\/strong>. These traps are the Fly Swatter, Bone Maker, Bird, Fish, and Small Animal Traps. The materials needed for each will vary and can be crafted in the “Traps” tab of the Guide Book. Once selected, you can choose a suitable spot to place the trap, rotating it left or right by pressing Q and R, respectively.<\/p>\n

Once the trap is set, you must add the required building materials for it to become functional. Below, we’ve specified the necessary resources to craft each trap, which you can get your companions Kelvin<\/a> or Virginia<\/a> to gather for you. You must remember to check your traps for any fauna you may have caught so that you can harvest the raw materials. Afterward, you can reset the trap by pressing and holding E.<\/p>\n

Small Animal Trap<\/h2>\n

One of the easiest traps to build in Sons of the Forest is the Small Animal Trap<\/strong>. It requires only 14 Sticks<\/strong>, making it a quick and accessible option for players who need to catch small critters like ducks, rabbits, or squirrels for resources such as meat or feathers. The trap is a small cage held up by a stick that drops, locking the animal inside once it triggers the trap’s mechanism.<\/p>\n

Fish Trap<\/h2>\n

Another simple and effective trap that you can craft in Sons of the Forest is the Fish Trap<\/strong>. While it requires a few more Sticks than the Small Animal Trap – specifically, 25 Sticks<\/strong> – it’s still relatively easy to build. As the name suggests, this trap is used for hunting fish<\/a> and resembles a wooden cage that must be placed in the water. As fish or turtles swim downstream, they will be caught in the box, providing meat, turtle shell, and raw meat once caught.<\/p>\n

Bone Maker Trap<\/h2>\n

Another trap you can craft in Sons of the Forest is the Bone Maker Trap<\/strong>. However, it requires more materials than the other traps we’ve covered. Specifically, you’ll need 2 Sticks, 3 Leaves, 1 Rope<\/a>, 3 Rocks, and 1 Bottled Vodka<\/strong> to build it. Because of the many materials required for this trap, it can be challenging for some players to craft. In particular, the last ingredient – Bottled Vodka<\/a> – can be difficult to find (check out our guide to learn about its locations!)<\/p>\n

However, if you can gather all the materials, the Bone Maker Trap can be used to hunt large fauna like deer, moose, or other large predators. The trap uses Bottled Vodka to set the captured beast ablaze, so it’s best to be careful when building it. As the name suggests, you can use the Bone Maker Trap in Sons of the Forest to gather bones<\/a> from deceased animals or predators.<\/p>\n

Fly Swatter Trap<\/h2>\n

The Fly Swatter Trap<\/strong> is an effective trap in Sons of the Forest. This trap requires 10 Sticks, 3 Rocks, and 1 Rope<\/strong> to craft. While it may not be as challenging to build as the Bone Maker Trap, it can still be used for catching larger fauna and predators. The trap works a bit like a fly swatter, slamming shut as the victim walks over it (see the video below). With careful placement and a little bit of luck, you can even use this trap to trap mutants and cannibals in the game.<\/p>\n
