The Dynamite is an weapon and explosive projectile added by v0.20 update of The Forest.

Gameplay

It is a throwable Dynamite stick. It can be used to blow up many things similar to the Bomb, but must be lit with the lighter before throwing.

It can be used as a weapon and is effective against any type of enemies. It can easily blow up cannibals, mutants and various objects like trees, destroy rock walls blocking passages inside the caves and open secret caches found all over the peninsula to reveal Flintlock Pistol parts. The player can carry a maximum of 5 Dynamite sticks in its inventory.

Thrown Dynamite will usually slide on the ground making difficult for the player to properly hit a target.

Detonating a Dynamite near a tree will cause it to collapse and drop logs. Flora, animals and small objects will also be blown up. Dynamite sticks can also be directly placed on a tree. They are a quite effective way to gather logs, as a single explosion can blow up to 5-6 trees if close enough from the detonation.

Dynamite sticks can cause severe damage to the player's buildings and must be used with caution while defending your base.

Locations

They are usually found in caves. Some can be found on surface world, mostly in the cannibal villages. It can be found as single sticks or in Explosives Crate that will contain 3-5 sticks.

A large suitcase containing numerous Dynamite sticks can always be found in the Hanging Cave (Cave 2), just next to the Modern Axe. A crate containing Dynamite sticks can also always be found in the main cannibal village, located here on the surface world.

Trivia

• In previous versions of the game, there was a cannibal that spawned late game that would carry and use dynamite against the player. Though it has since been removed as of v0.28d
