So you have a collection of turtle shells , now what ?
Son of the Forest , much like its horror - endurance herald , allows you to craft using various parts harvest from cute and well-disposed critters . In both games , you likely have stumbled across the behind - moving turtles . The Forestallowed you to reap their meat for food for thought , as well as their voiceless shell . you may get a turtle shield as well inSons of the Forest , but is it used for a similar function ?

What’s the turtle shell used for inSons of the Forest?
As of right now , the turtle racing shell is seemingly useless inSons of the Forest . Unlike the original game , there does n’t seem to be any craft alternative for it whatsoever . InThe Forest , harvesting a shell allowed you to craft a water collector — an incredibly utilitarian survival tool . By shore up up an overturned shell on some offshoot , you were able-bodied to store fresh pelting water and dew . It was desirable as a source of water to either booze or store in a body of water peel before cave spelunking .
Sons of the Forest , on the other hand , apparently offers no such pick — yet . I toss off four poor , innocentdogsturtles to turn into water supply collector . But my barbarity only yielded delicious polo-neck nitty-gritty . I ’m still take the air around with the shells and nothing to use them on . As it is an Early Access game , there ’s a good chance that the shells will be useful afterwards in the growing ofSons of the Forest . For now , however , us turtle murderers remain freak .
At the moment , there is n’t much grounds to butcher our reptilian ally . River and lake water in the game seems clean enough to drink , and you cancreate a Water Flaskearly enough in the game . You also ca n’t use the shield to scoop water from a river .
