Sons of the Forest Can Opener Location
To find the Can Opener in Sons of the Forest, you’ll need to start by pulling open your handy GPS map. There are actually a few Can Opener locations across the map as shown below, so you can pick whichever one seems the most convenient to you. Specifically, we will focus on the one that is located along the coast at the top of the map as it is the easiest to obtain at the beginning due to the other two being in camps amongst cannibal mutants that could require you to engage in combat.
The Can Opener pictured below is the one found on the coast at the top of the map. Regardless of which one you choose to get on your island, all you will need to do is approach the Can Opener and press “E” on your keyboard to have it go into your inventory.
Once there, you can combine it with cans to open them up. You will get canned food upon opening your cans, and this is the only use for the Can Opener thus far. Regardless, it is useful to have as canned food is worth a lot of hunger and is abundant as you explore bunkers or caves.
Now that you know where to find the Can Opener in Sons of the Forest, you should go grab your own and open up those cans taking up valuable inventory space.
