1. Travel to the rope gun cave shown in the annotated map above. The cave is to the west of the snowy mountains on a path next to a lake.

3. Stay to the left of the cave to find an opening to a new pathway.
4. Follow the path until you reach a passageway that is blocked by a mutant.
5. Pick up the time bomb to the right of the blocked passage, throw it at the mutant to open the entrance.

How to use the Rope Gun in Sons of the Forest

The Rope Gun creates ziplines that reach higher or lower elevations and allows you to ride those ziplines. Ziplines can be created by equipping the rope gun, and then shooting it to a desired point of destination.

A white dot will appear on the screen when equipped showing you where the zipline will be placed. By firing, you will have created the end of the zipline.

To ride the zipline, simply interact with it by holding the “E” key. Then shoot the rope gun again to place the other end of the zipline.

To complete this, you’ll need zipline rope. This can be created by combining rope and a 3D printed grappling hook. The locations of the 3D printer and the rope can be found in these tutorials.

These 3D printers can be found at 3 locations on the map. Here’s a link to their specific locations on Map Genie.
