Catapult

The Catapult is less of a trap and more of a mounted weapon because it can only be created through the defense section of the survival guide. It was added in update v0.36 under the name multi-thrower to The Forest.

Gameplay
Once built, the player can load the catapult with items. Using the  key while item is equipped and then "mount" the catapult with the   key to fling items at an enemy. It can be difficult to aim, but with practice can be very effective.

The catapult can be used as storage of items, not just as ammunition. Using, the player can go through a selection of items in their inventory. The catapult has been a multi storage building in the past. Due to patches consistently being released, this changes the type of items. Previously players were able to store old pots and animal heads for example, though now they no longer can. If items are stored and patches change, the items can safely be collected though they can not be re-stored in the catapult.

Ammunition
As of v1.0, the catapult can only store what is consider ammunition. It can no longer store animal heads and other useful items for storage. Rocks are the most common and easy to find items to use as ammunition. Explosives will explode after being launched. It is capable of launching up to three items at once. Here is a list of recommended ammunition for the catapult: Rock Molotov Dynamite Bomb Sticky Bomb Head Bomb Skull
