How to get the Modern Axe in Sons of the Forest

Unlike many other tools in Sons of the Forest, the Modern Axe isn’t hidden deep within a cave! Instead, you simply need to head to a camp at the location marked in the image below. There would usually be a purple marker near the house icon nearby, but we already got the equipment there and moved the tracker.

Once you arrive, search each of the tents, as you’ll find a corpse with the axe lodged inside their body in one of them. Simply interact with the corpse to get the Modern Axe, and then check your inventory to equip it.

That’s it! It’s really that simple, so you should be able to get this on your first day, so that you can build your first base nice and fast.
