Posted on by justin
Patch 11 of Sons of the Forest was recently released, and it brings various additions, improvements, and bug fixes to the survival title. Enter the island after updating the game, and you’ll encounter new enemies, an overhauled electricity system, and more! So, continue reading to gain additional insight into this version of Sons of the Forest.

What’s New in Sons of the Forest Patch 11?

Sons of the Forest Patch 11 To start, developing studio Endnight Games revised the electricity system in Patch 11 of Sons of the Forest. This time, players must keep their power grids running by connecting the new battery pickup item. Additionally, a power limit is now in place when electronic devices are connected from a single source. If you add more items to one power source, it’ll eventually overload. Two new cannibal types also enter the island: Eddy and Greg. The latter places effigies while the former throws spears at players. Moving forward, certain caves now have new layouts. In particular, Cave A has a new section, and it also contains a new object. Cave C’s entrance also now has fewer active objects than before.
