Where to get the Shotgun in Sons of the Forest

Finding the Shotgun in Sons of the Forest requires a shovel first. It's buried in the coffin with a dead soldier at the location of the second purple marker, so finding the exact place shouldn't be hard. Just follow the ping on your GPS tracker.

You can use the middle mouse click or options on controller to zoom in on your tracker for a more accurate picture of where you're supposed to go. The grave can be tricky to spot since it's hidden in the shrubbery. It will have a red piece of cloth on it. The GPS tracker will beep with increasing frequency the closer you approach it. Dig up the grave using your shovel to find a dead body inside with the Shotgun.

Be careful, though, because a large cannibal camp is nearby, so make sure you have a Pistol or an amazing melee weapon like the Katana or Chainsaw to help you deal with them.
