Weapon/ko

Weapons in The Forest are anything that have the ability to kill, excluding Traps.

Weapons are primarily used to defend yourself against enemies encountered all over the Peninsula, but some of them are also valuable tools used to gather resources and hunt animals. For example, axes can be used to chop down trees to gather logs, spears can be used for fishing, the crafted bow or modern bow can be used for hunting and the Flare Gun could be a possible last-resort light source.

Most weapons can receive upgrades, permanently increasing their damage, speed or temporarily adding fire or poison upgrades.

Many other inventory items that can be held by the player can be used as a weapon, like skulls, meats, bones or even body limbs such as legs, heads and arms.
