Arms are consumable body limbs that can be chopped from dead cannibals or effigies in The Forest.

Gameplay[]

Arms can be chopped from cannibals corpses using an axe or any cutting melee weapon. It can be used to build effigies, as a weak melee weapon and even cooked and eaten by the player.

They are required to build the Small Effigy, the Large Effigy, the Arm Effigy and can be placed on a Custom Effigy.

As a weapon, the arm only consumes a small amount of energy, but is quite weak which means a huge amount of hits are necessary to kill enemies, making it a very last resort melee weapon, though it can still be used to block.

The Arm can be cooked on a fire and eaten by the player, as well as placed on a drying rack for later consumption. Leaving it to burn on a fire yields a single bone. As with any edible cannibal body limb, it will lower the player's sanity upon consumption unless dried, as well as raising weight like a snack would.

The player can only carry 2 arms in their inventory.

Trivia[]

  • The finger nails are grossly long, possibly used as a form of attack or to aid the cannibal in eating human flesh or other cannibals.
  • Body limbs are perishable, and will spoil if kept in the player's inventory for too long.
  • Eating cooked body limbs is the fastest way to decrease sanity.
  • Eating dried body limbs will fill your fullness bar just like regular dried meat would dependent on which state the body limb is in.
  • Eating dried body limb does not decrease sanity
