If the cannibals are too fast for you, then you may want a way to slow them down.

The stun baton can briefly stun your enemies, giving you the chance to finish them off or run away.

In this survival guide, we’ll be going over where to find the stun baton in Sons of the Forest.

Where is the Stun Baton in Sons of the Forest?

The stun baton is close to the rope gun cave.

You’ll need to travel to the central portion of the map, where you’ll find a series of small ponds and rivers.

The baton, in question, is by a small waterfall on a tiny island.

You may notice some birds and squirrels climbing on top of it and zapping themselves to death.

It’s easy to first miss the baton, since it’s embedded in a collection of skulls.

To grab it, simply get close enough and hold the “E” button.

Your character will grab the baton and store it away.

How To Use the Stun Baton in Sons of the Forest

Now that you have the baton, you may wonder how to use it.

You’ll notice that it has green bars on its side.

This indicates the power level of the baton.

It takes batteries to keep it charged.

As such, you’ll want to keep batteries in your inventory, so it will automatically use a new one when the old battery dies.

You can swing the baton with the usual left-click on your mouse.

If you want to stun an enemy, however, then you’re going to need to hold the left-click button on the mouse.

Your character will thrust the baton forward and zap anyone standing on the other end.

It takes a bit of practice with the aiming, but you’ll know when you’ve hit.

The stunned creature will be unable to do anything for several seconds, giving you the time to kill them or make your escape.

How Does the Stun Baton Perform as a Melee Weapon?

Since you have a new weapon, you may wonder how much damage it does compared to other melee weapons.

The stun baton isn’t going to deal massive amounts of damage like the modern or fireman’s axe.

It’s primarily meant to stun enemies, so you can then use a gun or another melee weapon to kill the enemy.

As such, its damage isn’t great.

It’s not bad either, but you can expect to swing it quite a few times before it kills your enemy.

Strategically, the baton is a great weapon to use first in order to briefly paralyze your enemies, then use a more powerful weapon to easily finish them off.
