- In order to craft a mannequin in Sons of the Forest, players only need 20 sticks and 5 ducktapes.
- Players can find sticks in abundance throughout the map.

How To Build A Mannequin
Building a Mannequin is incredibly simple and straightforward. Players only need to obtain the items listed below.- 20 Sticks
- 5 Ducktape
While obtaining sticks is incredibly easy as they can be found lying on the ground in an abundance throughout the map, it is the ducktape that can be pretty tough to find in certain playthroughs. In case you have trouble obtaining any other item in the game, then do consider reading our Sons of The Forest: Items List guide.
Since the game spawns the ducktape randomly, in case you experience the same RNG as us and are unable to obtain the adequate amount of ducktape with ease, then here are a few farming tips for you.
- The very first place where you should go for some ducktape is the helicopter crash site. In case you didn’t open all the red or yellow boxes scattered about in the crash site, then there is a good chance that you can find at least 3 Ducktapes from this location.
- Aside from the crash site, players can also occasionally find ducktape at the entrance of some of the caves and cannibal camps.
- Ducktape is also often found on beaches; the beaches available in the northern part of the map are the best places to start with.
Mannequin Not Working As Intended
Many players have reported that while they are able to build a Mannequin, they are unable to actually put any armor on it. Thus making the Mannequin basically useless. There is, unfortunately no known fix for this bug right now, so if you are facing this bug, then be patient and only hope for the best.At the time of writing this article, the next update for Sons of the Forest is scheduled after 8 days, so we can only hope that this bug is addressed and fixed then. Until then, consider familiarizing yourself with every type of enemy in the game by reading our Sons Of The Forest Cannibal guide.
