Sons of the Forest finally had a full release (Update 1.0) with so much more to explore and try out, like finding the Armor Plating blueprint and trying it out. For a long while now, the game has settled in as among survival and horror fans as one of the best classic predecessors out there.
And this blueprint will really make you feel both the survival and horror part of this game. But fair warning as with our other Sons of the Forest guide: Spoilers ahead!
Armor Plating Blueprint Location
Armor Plating blueprint is an easy find if you already know where the Luxury Bunker is. If you don’t know where it is, the bunker is all the way to the east overlooking the sea. You’ll also have to unlock the bunker by exploring the Residential Bunker first.
SIDE NOTE: We have a complete guide for all the blueprint locations in Update 1.0 of Sons of the Forest – Make sure to check it out as well!
Explore the inside and head to the furthest room in the bunker with the Golden Door. Take your time exploring this place if you want as there’s no enemy in here. Just follow the trail of blood and bodies and eventually, past the broken-down wall in a bathroom is the Golden Door.
Timmy will tell you that there has to be some sort of a key to open the door. That key isn’t really a “key”. You need the Ancient Golden Armor and to do that, you need plate your Golden Armor on the device.
For more details, here’s our dedicated guide on how to open Golden Doors in Sons of the Forest Update 1.0!
The Armor Plating Blueprint is being hold by the skeleton near the door.
To build the Armor Plating, you need 1 Skull, 4 Wire, 25 Stones, 33 Bones, and 4 Batteries. But that’s not all–once you build the device, you need the Golden Armor and 12 Solafite Ore. So you’ll definitely need to come prepared to save some time from going back and forth here.
Do not put in the Golden Armor until you’re ready! Activating this device will send a wave of strong mutants your way. You have to kill and survive them all to get your Ancient Armor. Arm yourself with grenades, shotgun ammos, molotovs, and armor because you cannot wear your Golden Armor!
You can also alternatively, set up the area before you begin the plating process. Build towers, prepare traps around you, and just prepare to the surge of mutants which can get extremely challenging the harder the difficulty you’re on.
And with that, you can now open the Golden Door.
After using the Armor Plating, time to get the new ending in Sons of the Forest with your new Ancient Armor. Up next, why not check out our guide on how to find all artifact pieces & activate them?
