Sons of the Forest can be a lot more fun when played with friends, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy its world of horror by yourself. Given how adventuring solo on the island can slow down your process, Endnight Games added companions to the game to help players with basic tasks.
Companions are a great help when it comes to building and defending bases. Kelvin excels at collecting resources and fishing, and is the default companion everyone starts the game with. Virginia, the three-armed, three-legged mutant that you can befriend, is a better defender as she can alert players of approaching mutants. While it’s more work to gain her as a companion than Kelvin, her added benefits against enemies make that work worth it.
If you’re looking to give Virginia a weapon, you’ll first need to unlock her as a companion by gaining her trust.
