The first patch released by the Endnight Games has introduced the Hang Glider in Sons of the Forest. You can now find the gliders in various spots across the map. Life will become a lot easier when you’re able to soar through the skies and have no cannibals to worry about. Before you head out to seek the paraglider, make sure you know everything about it along with the locations where you can find them in Sons of the Forest.
- Hang Gliders are a great piece of equipment that players can use to fly above the Island in Sons of the Forest.
- The Hang Gliders are found in various spots across the map, and they commonly spawn at the edge of cliffs, abandoned camps, and the Mountain side.
- Hang Gliders can not be stored in the inventory like the rest of the items in Sons of the Forest.
- Operating the Hang Gliders is quite easy; here are the following controls:
- Press Spacebar to jump off a high place.
- Press ‘W‘ and ‘S‘ to descend or ascend in the air.
- Press ‘A‘ and ‘D‘ to turn right and left in the air.
How To Use The Hang Glider In Sons Of The Forest?

Although, these can only be found in specific spots and can not be stored in the inventory. Hence, you will need to carry it with you if you wish to use it in a different place than the one it spawned in. Nevertheless, discovering and utilizing these will not only help you save time, but they will also provide you with a good view of the Island and let you appreciate the game’s beauty.
Flying the paraglider in Sons of the Forest is not that hard; however, because of the inverted control, players may mess up during their first flight. This is why it is best to familiarize yourself with how the Hang Glider works. Here are all the steps you need to keep in your mind.
- Once you find a Hang Glider in the game, make sure to first reach a high point where you can easily jump off without running into any obstacles.
- The Hang Glider only deploys itself when the player is in mid-air for a few seconds. Hence, a simple jump off the ground level will not help.
- Here are all the controls for flying the Hang Glider in Sons of the Forest:
- Press Space to jump off a high spot; while in mid-air, press the Spacebar again to use the Hang Glider.
- Since the control in the air is inverted, ‘W‘ will push the tip of the Hang Glider downwards, while ‘S‘ will push the Hang Glider upwards.
- Pressing ‘W‘ will help players pick up speed and descend to the ground. Whereas pressing ‘S‘ will slow down the Hang Glider’s speed and help it ascend.
- While in the air, players can use the ‘A‘ key to sway toward the right and the ‘D‘ key to swaying toward the left.
- Even though it might sound dangerous, but players can fly into the ground with the Hang Glider to land safely. As long as there are no obstacles (Trees and Walls) in between, you won’t take any fall damage.
Since Hang Gliders need a good vantage point for them to work, it’s always advised to land at a spot from where you’ll be able to make use of the glider again. If you land within the woods or in any unwelcoming spot, you’ll have to carry the Glider all the way back to a suitable point before using it again.
Where To Find The Hang Glider?

There are up to 11 Hang Gliders discovered so far in the current version of Sons of the Forest. Players can usually find them in spots that are close to a nice elevation point. Knowing all these locations on the map will help you progress your base at a much more rapid pace since you’ll be able to travel a lot faster.
Most of the Hang Gliders are found on top of, or around, the Snow Mountain. Apart from that, you can also find plenty of Gliders along the shores of the Island in Sons of the Forest.
Location #1

From the River Spawn Point, head eastwards and cross two streams along the way. Eventually, you will come across the Hang Glider atop a small cliff next to the Littlebird Helicopter crash site.
Location #2

Go east from the first Hang Glider and trek upwards on the Mountain to get to the second Glider next to an Abandoned Camp. The Glider will be placed at the edge of the cliff.
Location #3

You can also reach this point by traveling to the East from the Plane Crash site or the Maintainance B Hatch (where you get the Compound Bow from).
Location #4

You can reach this point by going southwards from the Maintenance B Hatch. Along the way, you’ll reach a pond, cross it and keep going until you reach the Southern Coast of the island. The Hang Glider is at the edge of the cliff facing the sea.
Location #5

The exact location can be reached by going East from the Mountain Spawn Point. The great thing about this glider is that it’s pretty close to the mountain peak. Hence, you can carry the glider to the top and fly over the Island for an extended period due to the extreme height.
Location #6

There’s a waterfall near this spot, which is a good POI to look out for a while finding the Hang Glider. You can also reach this point from the previous Glider. Just head towards the East and follow the river. Eventually, you’ll descend and leave the snowy fields of the mountain and notice the East Lake Hang Glider next to a cliff.
Location #7

Players can also make their way to this hang glider from the mountain peak by heading toward the Northeast. The Hang Glider is placed right next to an abandoned camp.
Location #8

You can also reach the Hang Glider by heading Northwest from the Maintenance C Hatch (from where you get the Magnum revolver).
Location #9

Players can also get to this point by traveling East from the Maintanance A Hatch (Maintanance Keycard location). Unfortunately, the Hang Glider does not reside nearby a cliff. Therefore to use the Hang Glider, you will need to carry it to a high spot.
Location #10

From that spot, head towards the west while hugging the cliffside, and you will eventually get to the Hang Glider. If you do not know where the Kayaks are, then you can also reach the glider by traveling west from the Beach Spoint point, or from the location where you got the Rebreather from.
Location #11

There are a few abandoned camps close by, which means that you’ll probably get a few supplies along the way. In order to reach the location, you can go west from the Food & Dining Hatch location until you reach the coast.
