Looking at the HUD, the usual indicators are present, showing your water, food, and sleep levels. The newest icon is a muscle, and much of the community has determined this is a reflection of your overall strength in Sons of the Forest.

As you progress through the forest, acts such as chopping down trees and fighting off foes seemingly increase this bar. It’s still in the air how this is impacted by your other attributes, such as if you haven’t been hydrating, will it make you weaker? Also, it’s still undetermined if leveling up this bar will increase your melee damage. For now, keep on leveling up your strength, as you can never be too strong.

Just like that, that’s everything you need to know about what the strength icon means in Sons of the Forest. For more information related to Sons of the Forest, be sure to check out our related section below.

I love almost every type of video game, and when I'm not playing them, I'm writing about them... a lot. I have too many favorites to list so feel free to ask about them! Long live Ugly Sonic and the Resident Evil 3 Remake (this is a meme btw).
