How to Craft a Time Bomb in Sons of the Forest

Time is relative. Nothing new here, that phrase has been said a gazillion times before. But what is time, really? Its passing almost file like nothing, yet sometimes feels like a shockwave. A couple of seconds on an average day go by without us noticing. Oh, but be in front of an about-to-explode bomb and every single second will feel like an ice pick stuck straight to the heart. Let us not be in that situation, but on the other side of it instead. Here is how to craft a time bomb in Sons of the Forest.

How to Craft a Time Bomb in Sons of the Forest

There are several ways you will be able to protect yourself from enemies in this game. Passively, by building a secure base, and actively, by using melee weapons and guns you will find on the island. Oh, but a timed bomb thrown at your enemies which will explode in their soon non-existent faces? Well, that’s very special indeed. Crowd control will surely benefit from a weapon such as a time bomb, specially if we are dealing with mutants and flesh eating cannibals.

In order to craft one, you will need several items. These are the following: 1 Circuit Board, 1 C4 Brick, 5 Coins, 1 Wire, and 1 Duct Tape. You will be able to find all of these items across the different campsites, as well as in the crash site itself. Open the inventory by pressing I and click on all items named above. Finally, click on the cogwheel to craft the time bomb. Click on it to equip it. Once you have picked your objective, throw it, and it will explode after a few seconds.
