The flashlight attachment is a helpful accessory that makes using your guns in the dark a lot easier.

You also don’t lose your flashlight in the process, so you can have two sources of light at once.

In this survival guide, we’ll show you where to get the flashlight attachment in Sons of the Forest.

For a visual walkthrough, watch the video below!

Flashlight Attachment Cave Location in Sons of the Forest

You’ll find the flashlight attachment in the Shovel Cave in Sons of the Forest.

The Shovel Cave is in the middle of the map and to the West of the snowy mountains.

You’ll be able to get there by heading East from the 3D printer room designated by the flashing green circle on your map.

Follow the large river East until you get close to the edge of the snowy mountains.

You’ll see a number of small streams connecting to each other.

The cave symbol close to those small streams is the Shovel Cave.

What Do You Need To Get The Flashlight Attachment

Now, before you enter the cave, you should have a few things on hand.

You’ll need the Rope Gun and the Rebreather to progress through the cave as parts of it are underwater.

There are also quite a few enemies in the cave, so it’s a good idea to have a weapon with a good amount of ammo to get through it.

I personally found grenades effective in this cave since the tunnels are quite small.

You can also run through certain portions of the cave, but since certain items like the flashlight attachment are in areas with lots of enemies, it’s not a bad idea to have something to help thin out the herd.

Finally, have some food and water on hand as well as a tarp, so you can save your progress.

Where Is The Flashlight Attachment in the Shovel Cave

You’ll find the flashlight attachment in the third big room in the Shovel Cave.

In particular, the lead-up to this area includes the initial big room when you first enter the cave.

You need to use the Rope Gun to get to the other side of this part of the cave.

Then you need to take the Rebreather and plunge down a dark hole in the water.

When you emerge from the water, you’ll find a number of mutants waiting for you.

Kill or run past them and follow the tunnel until you end up sliding down a slide.

You’ll end up in more water with a few bodies closeby.

This is a great place to put a tarp down and quick save before proceeding.

You’ll follow the tunnel out of this area to a room with more mutants in it.

This is the second big room, and you’ll know you’re there if you see a Puffy standing in a spotlight.

Clear the room or run past them.

The next tunnel will lead to the third big room where the flashlight attachment is hiding.

It’s easy to miss, so keep your eyes open.

There’s also a number of enemies here like the Twins, babies, and Fingers.

The flashlight attachment is toward the center of the room where a bunch of bodies are lying.

You’ll find the attachment in the hand of one of the bodies.

You’ll also find a laptop here.

It’s worth collecting information from it as it will show you the location of Maintenance Bunker A.

Once you have your goods, it’s time to escape.

Stick to the left side of the cave, and you’ll eventually come to a narrow passage that leads to some water.

There should be some babies guarding the entrance to this passage.

Keep running down, go underwater, and when you emerge, you’ll find another area full of Puffies.

Clear them out, then come out of the water and put down the tarp fo a place to save.

You’re now safe to take a look at your new flashlight attachment!

How To Attach The Flashlight Attachment

You’re going to need to combine the flashlight attachment with your preferred weapon, like the pistol, in your inventory.

Head to your inventory, then open up the case to the right.

You’ll find the attachment close to your pistol.

Right-click on the attachment and then the pistol, and you’ll move them to the crafting area.

Hit “Combine” and the two will attach to one another.

Now, when you pull out your pistol, you’ll have a flashlight attached to it.
