There, you’ll find a corpse hanging from the ceiling. You’ll find the Stun Gun hanging next to the body, so simply grab it to add it to your inventory.

How to get Stun Gun ammo

The Stun Gun uses unique Stun Gun ammo, rather than materials or regular batteries.

Stun Gun ammo, like most other ammo types in Sons Of The Forest, is often hidden in supply crates in places such as caves, cannibal camps, and other important landmarks on the map. You should also find some in the crates strewn around your spawn location at the helicopter crash site.

If you’re really struggling to find more, we’d recommendgetting Virginia as a companion.

After befriending her, Virginia will occasionally beckon you away from your base to show you some loot that she has found. She can lead you to crates that aren’t marked on the map, and you may find Stun Gun ammo if you’re lucky.
