Patch 13 has dropped to Sons of the Forest, adding Rifle to the list of weapons you can find in caves. It’s a pretty cool weapon that allows you to snipe for cannibals from a distance. And we’re going to show you where you can find this rifle on the map. It’s actually pretty easy to reach!
New Rifle Location
The closest point to the rifle is after you get out of the cave where you got the Katana. Just across the lake is the entrance to this cave system where the rifle is, so it’s still in the same cave. But the interior has been slightly altered. Do note that you do need the Rebreather here.
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!
The cave is easy to navigate through. The key is to stick to the right side of the cave. Previously, this cave had golden glows and has a lot more space, but now, it’s actually easier to know you’re on the right path.
To your right, you’ll immediately see that the path is separated from everywhere else. As you keep going the path will get narrower in some spots.
By sticking to the right wall, you’ll finally find a right turn into a narrow tunnel with glowing golden wall.
You know you’re at the right spot if you see water at the end of this path that you can dive into. Just dive and keep swimming until you can resurface again. There will be a forked path here. For the rifle, turn left.
Be careful as there’s going to be the Fingers and some babies here, your staple annoying enemies.
As you emerge from the waters, there’s only one way to go. Walking deeper will get you into the Mutants’ nest with the soldiers hanging on from ceiling. One of them has the Rifle.
You can just leave the cave by going back the way you came from. But there’s also the option to explore further in for the Golden Armor. And that’s going to be in our next guide, so stay tuned!
That’s how you can find the Rifle in the Patch 13 of Sons of the Forest.
