You can print a sled in Sons of the Forest and perform daring maneuvers or quickly traverse long distances. How to get and use the sled is explained here.
How do you get the sled? The sled serves its purpose but is rather a toy in Sons of the Forest and correspondingly expensive. You need 1,000 printer ink for one sled.
Here on the map, you can see where to find a 3D printer for the sled. The location blinks green on your GPS device, where you will find a cave entrance:
Think very carefully about whether you want to get the sled. The thing is very expensive. You should spend the printer ink on more useful things first, like arrows, water bottles, or grappling hooks for ziplines.
In your inventory, you will find the sled at the very top left.
How does the sled work? You need a slope and must equip the sled – then you can get started.
Jump and then press the left mouse button (attack). The sled quickly reaches a hellish speed, so steering is not much of an option, although it is actually possible with WASD. When you jump on the sled, you should be sure that you are already heading in the right direction.
You can also use it to prevent fall damage. If you jump from a great height and sit on the sled beforehand, you don’t have to worry about taking damage.
Is everything going smoothly? Not quite – the sliding and the sled are both a bit buggy.
This way, you can even fire through some solid obstacles with the sled if you are fast enough. That doesn’t quite work yet.
Moreover, you can also thunder down the mountains like a sledding champion without the sled. Open your build menu with “B” (the small manual) and approach a slope. This is very popular on reddit (via reddit.com).
