How to get a rope in Sons of the Forest
There are a few different places where you can get a rope in Sons of the Forestincluding:
- Caves.
- Cannibal camps.
- Abandoned campsites.
- Bunkers.
- Random containers.
- Abandoned boats.
Caves, cannibal camps, abandoned campsites and bunkers
The common thing to watch out for when rope finding is where people (or enemies) are, or where they were before. During our experiment, we found that caves, cannibal camps, and abandoned campsites are the best places to regularly get rope in Sons of the Forest.
Cannibal camps and most abandoned campsites will not be marked on your GPS location map. So, listen to the music instead to find an abandoned camp.
You can also be captured by an enemy, who will take you to their cannibal camp, but we don’t recommend this unless you have a recent save, because if they catch you again you will die and revert to your last backup.
Containers
You have a chance to get a rope each time you open a container. These are mostly random spawns, but we’ve found that there’s a higher chance of getting a rope from a container when you’re in – or very close to – a camp or cave.
Even if you currently don’t need rope for anything, we recommend that you search every container you come across and collect all the rope you can.
Abandoned boats
If you are near the beach and need rope, we also recommend searching the coastline for abandoned boats. It’s not worth looking for them unless you Really need a rope, as they don’t always contain loot, but if you’re overtaking a boat, it’s best to take a quick peek in the debris.
Just be careful if you have to swim to get to a boat because there are sharks in the water that will harm you even in peaceful mode.
How to Get a Zipline Rope in Sons of the Forest
Zipline Rope is different from regular rope, as it is used to craft ziplines for your Rope Gun, used to easily cross the island and its caves.
Although you can find Zipline Rope in the same areas as Regular Rope, you can also get Zipline Rope by crafting it in Sons of the Forest.

When you have grappling hooks and a rope, open your inventory with “I” and place them in the crafting section to craft a zipline rope.
You can get rope in the areas mentioned above, but you have to get grappling hooks using 3d printer. It costs 100ml of printer resin to craft grappling hooks.
There are other 3D printer locations, but we found one easily in a bunker on the west side, just northwest of the lake which is crossed by five rivers.

Zipline Rope Gun location at Sons of the Forest
The Rope Gun is located at the end of a dangerous cave in the western part of the island, just south of the lake which flows into five rivers.
If you are not playing peaceful mode, there will be a lot of enemies in this cave on the way to getting the Rope Gun. We recommend that you bring a good weapon or a lot of explosives with you to deal with it.
Also, be sure to save your game before heading into the cave!
It will take some time to find the Rope Gun in this cave, as it is located at the very end. You’ll know you’re close once you have to blast the enemy into the wall blocking your path.
Once you’ve done that, keep going straight until you’re in a narrow tunnel that leads to a steep path that eventually forks. Follow the left path and keep moving forward to find the Rope Gun in a black box at the end.
You can then use the Rope Gun on the zipline above you to exit the cave.
Now that you have the Rope Gun, you can use your zipline rope to create fast traversal routes or to explore new areas in bunkers and caves.
