Sons of the Forest gets two-log Kelvin, golf ducks, and more in latest update

Sons of the Forest roared out the gates when it launched into Steam early access back in February, and 2m+ copies sold later, developer Endnight Games is continuing to improve the experience, this time adding ducks, a lake to put them in, a double log buff for fan-favourite companion Kelvin, and a sad end for a levitating life jacket.

All this comes via Sons of the Forest’s patch #4, which, while fairly light on radical new features, brings a host of welcome quality of life improvements – including the aforementioned Kelvin buff meaning he can now carry a whopping two logs at once – plus tweaks, and more.

There’s new stuff on the feature front, though, including a new Action Cam used to view Sons of the Forest’s found footage tapes – the first of which is now in-game – plus new points of interest discovery laptops, and the ability to name save games.

And then it’s onto the improvements, which is where the patch notes start to get a bit surreal. Cannibals, for instance, “now sometimes look at each other when not fighting”, birds are a “small percentage” faster, and it’s a rollercoaster of emotions for female cannibals. Their new activity list now swings straight from “cheer on other family members and occasionally dance to radio music” to “drink blood from village troughs or from dead animals”.
