The Forest: Finding and crafting a chainsaw - how it works

In The Forest, the chainsaw proves to be one of the most helpful tools. The device acts as a weapon and tool at the same time and can even be upgraded.

The chainsaw in The Forest is easy to find

The Forest is not a game for the faint of heart and as a player you need enough tools to avoid landing on the cannibal's plate. The chainsaw is extremely helpful. You can use it to collect wood quickly and even defend yourself if necessary. There is a copy in the game world and we will show you how to find it.

• First of all: It does no harm if you take the climbing ax with you. With this you can bypass enemies at the site and easily leave the cave in which the chainsaw is located.
• The chainsaw is located in cave 3, which can be reached via several entrances. You will find easier access on the map, marked with a yellow circle.
• Make your way to this point and orient yourself along the river bank. As soon as you discover several white tents, you are at the right place.
• Approach the tents and look for a cave entrance on the small hill. Squeeze through and enter the cave. Follow the cave and always turn left at intersections.
• If you follow the cave far enough inside, you will have to climb down twice. For these places you need the climbing ax to get outside again.
• Once you get to the second large room with dismembered corpses, look for a table on the left. The chainsaw is located on this.
• You can't craft the chainsaw yourself in The Forest. But you can make the flashlight upgrade from the chainsaw, an insulating tape and a flashlight. With the upgrade, you have equipped your chainsaw with a flashlight and thus a light source during use.
