One of the mysterious items you can craft in Sons of the Forest is the red mask.

You might be wondering what the red mask does and whether it’s worth making or not.

In this survival guide, we’ll go over the red mask, how to make it, and how to use it.

How To Make The Red Mask In Sons of the Forest

To make the red mask, you’re going to need to head to a 3D printer.

It’s one of the recipes you can craft with the printer.

Move through the different recipes on the laptop until you’re on the mask.

It requires 150 ml to print.

Press and hold “E” to have the printer start creating it.

Once it’s done, you’re able to pick it up and put it in your inventory.

What Does The Red Mask Do?

The red mask is a great tool for making hostile cannibals more peaceful.

Now, there are a few caveats.

The red mask doesn’t work on all cannibals.

It seems to be most effective on mud-covered cannibals and those without masks.

It also won’t work if you were hostile towards the cannibal beforehand.

As such, you can get the most out of the mask by wearing it when around mud-covered cannibals and non-hostile cannibals.

It’s useful for navigating through the woods without being harassed.

Cannibals who wear masks, especially golden masks, will not be effected by the mask.

They’ll attack you, regardless.

Others, however, have a chance of just walking away from you if they see you wearing it.

Wearing the red mask can be a great way to peacefully make your way around the forest.

Conclusion

The red mask is very useful for keeping some enemies peaceful while you make your way around.

You can craft it in the 3D printer, but keep in mind that it doesn’t work for every cannibal.
