Overview[edit | edit source]
The Putter in Sons of the Forest is a novelty melee weapon that doubles as a golf club. It has very low damage and isn’t ideal for combat, but it’s fun to use in-game to putt golf balls. You can find the Putter in the Residential Bunker or around the Golf Course area on the island.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The Putter is primarily a novelty weapon. While you can swing it at enemies, it doesn’t deal much damage. You can also equip it with golf balls to enjoy a casual game of golf. The putting animation activates when you aim down while swinging.
Tips & Tricks[edit | edit source]
- The Putter’s animation can add humor to your game, as you can swing it with a putting motion when aiming down.
- Be cautious in combat, as its low speed and damage make it more of a novelty than a practical weapon.
- You can add the Solafite Plating to enhance both the visuals and damage output.
Worth it?[edit | edit source]
Not really, unless you’re looking for something quirky to add to your collection or want to have some fun with the golf mechanic. For serious combat, you’ll want to use more powerful melee weapon.
