In Sons of the Forest, there are many animals across the map. You can hunt them to gather food or watch them in their glory. The animals included in the game are deer, ducks, rabbits, salmon, sharks, and beautiful turtles. Each one has its purpose in the game and is an excellent addition to the game's realism. Most animals have a purpose, so what is the Turtle Shell used in Sons of the Forest?

Can you use the Turtle Shell in Sons of the Forest?

You can use the Turtle Shell to make a rain catcher in Sons of the Forest. Having a Rain Catcher in an area you frequent, or your base can be beneficial, as it will cut down the time you would spend looking for water sources to drink fresh water or refill your water bottle. The Rain Catchers take a significant time to fill up, so build a couple of them to get the maximum water you can collect. You need 16 Sticks and a single Turtle Shell to build a Rain Catcher.

The update 12 introduced weapon upgrading system. Players are able to upgrade their weapons, enabling them to do more damage, and giving them a golden hue in the process. To upgrade your weapon, you must create a Solafite Upgrader, which looks like a smelting furnace. To create the Upgrader, you will need to find three turtle shells among other resources, which is currently not easy to find. When creating the Solafite Upgrader, be very careful; the moment you complete the furnace, a wave of enemy mutants will immediately rush your position.

Will the Turtle Shell in Sons of the Forest have any use?

The other use for the Turtle Shell in the original game, The Forest, was using it as a sled. This was really fun because you could build roller coasters and use the Shell as a cart. Unfortunately, this isn't possible in Sons of the Forest because there is a new item called the Sled. You can craft it with a 3D Printer with 1000 printer resin, making it the most expensive 3D printer item. Using the Sled to make your way down a hill will increase your speed significantly, and you will have some fun too.
