Cassette Tapes |
The Cassette Player (also referred to as the Walkman) plays music with cassette tapes, which gives the player energy and helps sanity, though it can attract cannibals and mutants. It was added in update v0.02 of The Forest.
Gameplay[]
To play a cassette, first you have to combine the cassette player and a cassette on the crafting matt in the middle of the Inventory, equip the cassette player and then press the Left Click. Since v0.03, you can turn off the cassette player by doing the "play" action again. Prior to the v0.08b update it played random songs, but now new tapes must be collected from locations such as the caves in order to be used.
Since v0.11 the Cassette Player can be attached to a large tree or trap by approaching to it and pressing the C key to attract nearby cannibals . You can take it again from the tree or trap pressing E. This will attract cannibals and mutants to the placed cassette player, it will not wake up sleeping cannibals, however. This is designed to lure them to an area or trap, or as a distraction. Placed cassette players will remain where they are even if a trap or tree is destroyed. If you save and exit, it will still be there.
Locations[]
- Inside the Yacht
- Cave 2, separate cave section
Origin[]
It can be easily assumed that the cassette player belonged to the yacht inhabitants. The cassette player can be found there, and Tape 5 and Tape 4 can both be found on the graves that appear to belong to yacht inhabitants. Possibly the inhabitants managed to visit a few of the caves before their death, searching for the resurrection obelisk, which would explain why cassettes can be found in the caves. Alternatively, the cannibals could have dragged the tapes there like they do other goodies.
Cassettes[]
There are currently 5 cassette tapes in the world. They are as follows:
- Cassette 1 is Fatal Request - "Stronghold".
- Cassette 2 is The Slaps - "No Conscience".
- Cassette 3 is Frankie Millionaire - "Do It".
- Cassette 4 is Wolf on Fire - "The Haunting".
- Cassette 5 is Rick Gold - "Strength, Ability and Wisdom".
Bugs[]
- other players in the multiplayer can't hear each other's music on the cassette player.
Trivia[]
- the in-game model of the Cassette player is based on a Sony Walkman WM1.
