What does Golden Armor do in Sons Of The Forest?
The Golden Armor set does not actually offer any armor. You will still take plenty of damage in combat, so don’t expect it to actually help you survive. If you’re after actual armor, consider using theTech Armorinstead.
However, it is still essential, as you must use the Golden Armor to reach the ending of Sons Of The Forest. This takes place in a bunker on the East side of the island, within which you’ll find a strange arm door.
This door has an arm socket that you can only use while wearing the Golden Armor. Doing so will unlock the door and allow you to head further into the bunker.
Can Golden Armor break?
While the Golden Armor doesn’t offer much protection, it is indestructible against enemy attacks. This means you don’t need to worry about it breaking before you reach the end of the game.
However, we don’t think this is a reason to use it inherently, as there are other armor types that work far better as mentioned previously. Save the Golden Armor in your inventory until you reach the final area, and then equip it to reach the end.
