How to get the Winter Jacket in Sons of the Forest 1.0

Stay warm out there

If you took Endnightā€™s advice and started a new save file of Sons of the Forest, youā€™ll likely enter winter on the island right about now. The good news is, if you need some extra protection from the elements, thereā€™s a Winter Jacket to be had.

The bad news? Itā€™s not where it used to be. 

Before the implementation of 1.0, the Winter Jacket was found on an abandoned campsite near a waterfall on the western half of the map. The spot was relatively easy to reach, and you couldnā€™t really miss it once you got close, thanks to the sound of rushing water. 

While the Winter Jacket wonā€™t protect you entirely, it will provide an extended period of time before you begin to suffer, which means you wonā€™t have to spend so much time near a Bonfire. To explore, though, you should still go armed with a Torch to fend off the chill.

If you want to get the Winter Jacket after the full release of Sons of the Forest, Iā€™d recommend making a point to do so before the first snow falls and gives you the shivers. 

To find it, youā€™ll need to head around the north side of the mountain and climb your way up until you find the Golf Course. Itā€™ll be pretty obvious that youā€™re near when you get close, because also implemented in 1.0 were icons for Golf Carts that appear with proximity, which is a blessing in this case. 

Once youā€™re on the Golf Course, head east until you come across a tent with six filled body bags at the side of it. Inside this tent, youā€™ll find the Winter Jacket laying on the floor. All you need to do is hold E, and youā€™ll change into it.
