Setting Up Your Zipline

How to Use Ziplines in Sons of the Forest

To use a zipline in Sons of the Forest, you first need to construct one using the Zipline Rope Gun. Once the zipline is set up between two points, simply walk up to it and press the E key to begin riding.

Setting Up Your Zipline

Before you can ride a zipline, you must create it. This requires finding the essential tool: the Zipline Rope Gun.

Here’s how to deploy a zipline:

1. Equip the Zipline Rope Gun.
2. Aim your Zipline Rope Gun at the starting position of your zipline. This could be a tree, structure, or the ground.
3. When a white circle appears, indicating a valid attachment point, fire it to secure the first end of the rope.
4. Now, with the rope attached, take the gun and aim this at the place you'd like the zipline to end.
5. Look for a valid endpoint. If you're able to make it, meaning the distance and angle are suitable, a white spot will appear at the potential destination.
6. Fire again to connect the rope and complete the zipline setup between the two points.

Keep in mind that there are range limitations and potential issues with extreme elevation changes that might prevent you from establishing a connection.

How to Ride the Zipline

Using a zipline once it's constructed is straightforward:

• Approach the completed zipline rope at either end.
• When you are close enough, an interaction prompt will appear (often related to the 'E' key).
• Then just approach it and press E to use it.

You will automatically attach to the rope and slide down to the other end. This provides a fast way to travel across distances, especially useful for descending slopes or crossing gaps.
