Update: Since Sons of the Forest first launched in Early Access, the game has received a few quality of life updates. We've updated the information about bunker locations on this page to reflect any changes made.

Finding all the Sons of the Forest bunker locations takes you to some of the survival game’s most dangerous places, but if you want to see the end of the story, you’ll just have to put up with it.

Some bunkers have useful items and weapons, but others are part of Sons of the Forest’s narrative, with key items hidden inside that you can’t access the endgame without.

Most bunker entrances are buried, so you’ll need a shovel before you start looking. The island’s cannibals are always hungry, so take a good weapon and maybe Virginia along as well.

There are seven bunkers of note hidden across the island in Sons of the Forest. Most of them are either located far from your starting location or require some kind of tool to reach – the shovel, for example, or a rebreather – so you won’t be able to make a dash for them immediately after landing on the island.

Regardless of where you start, tracking down one of the maintenance bunkers first is a good idea. These have valuable loot, weapons, beds, and even some outfits to help survive the wilderness.

Maintenance A Bunker location

This one has the Maintenance Keycard, which you need to progress in the main story, along with the 3D printer – another important item – an axe, and a bed. You need the shovel to dig up the entrance, though, so make sure to visit Shovel Cave first.

Here's where you'll find the Maintenance A Bunker.

Maintenance B bunker location

The B Bunker is further away from each starting point, but the loot is worth the trek. Here, you find a compound bow, another 3D printer, and a silencer for your pistol.

Maintenance C bunker location

C Bunker is even further away, on the eastern side of the island, and it only has one item of interest: the revolver.

Here's where you'll find the Maintenance C Bunker.

Food and Dining Bunker location

This bunker leads you to an abandoned mall and is where you eventually find the VIP Keycard, needed to access the final bunker and end the game. You can find a dress for Virginia here, food (surprise), and a crossbow. There'll also be a shotgun rail to grab here.

Entertainment Bunker location

This bunker is home to the Guest Keycard. It's also home to another 3D Printer, and a Chainsaw which is pretty fun to use.

Here's where you'll find the entrance to the Entertainment Bunker.

Residential Bunker location

You'll find the entrance to the residential bunker inside a rock formation by the large lake on the below map. Inside, you'll find a katana, a shiny new flashlight attachment, and a space suit.

Luxury Bunker location

The VIP bunker is in the northeastern part of the island near the cost, east of the Maintenance C Bunker. You need the VIP card to enter, and you can find a shotgun inside, along with a set of pajamas because of course you can. Make sure to save and visit everywhere you wanted to visit before going inside, since this is the point of no return.
