Crafted Club

Overview

The Crafted Club is a basic melee weapon in Sons of the Forest that you can craft pretty early on. It's made from a skull, stick and rope. The club is mainly good for defense since it has solid blocking power, but its attack speed is a bit slow compared to other weapons.

Usage

This weapon is best used for blocking enemy hits, especially when you're just starting out. The damage is decent but it's not going to blow anyone away. It's great for defense, so try blocking first then counterattacking. If you're looking for faster attacks, you'll want to upgrade to something like Modern Axe later on.

Tips & Tricks

• Use the club’s blocking capabilities to absorb damage before counterattacking.
• Focus on timing your swings, as the slower attack speed can leave you vulnerable if you miss.
• Consider upgrading to faster weapons like the Modern Axe once available.
• You can add the Solafite Plating to enhance both the visuals and damage output.

Worth it?

In the early game, yes. It's easy to make and gives you a good defensive option. However, once you find better weapons with more damage and speed, the Crafted Club will start to feel outdated. It's useful, but it won't carry you through the whole game.
