Sons of the Forest has several craftable traps, and I feel the Explosive Trapwire stands out simply because of its damage capacity. This trap is powerful enough to break through walls and other building structures. It is also capable of eliminating a few enemies simultaneously, making it a top choice for surviving in the wild. Here are the items required to craft this trap.

  • Wire - One piece
  • Grenade - One piece
  • Stick - One piece

Sticks can be found under trees, bushes, and around the map. Similarly, Wire can be obtained at different Camps, inside Caves, and other spots of interest. Grenades are commonly found inside weapon boxes and around military camps.

Once you have all three items, open the build menu to place down the trap schematic. Ideally, you want to place it around the peripherals of your base. Another efficient trick involves placing traps along the pathway leading up to your base.

It is a brilliant strategy to slow enemy rushes. Similarly, setting these traps between rocks and trees around your base is an excellent option. If your base has a watch tower, lay traps around the area to damage enemies charging at your base. Get up on the tower and start shooting arrows or pistols and other weapons to pick them off one at a time.
