The Modern Axe is a tool and weapon that was added in update v0.02 to The Forest.

Gameplay[]

The modern axe has a carbon steel head with a fiberglass shaft. It is the best available real axe for tree cutting in the game.

When used as a weapon, it deals five bars of damage. The modern axe swings slower than the plane axe, but knocks down cannibals more often than its weaker counterparts. Possessing nine bars of block, equivalent to the crafted axe and Crafted Club, it blocks almost all damage. The rusty axe, turtle shell, and club will block 100% of damage however.

The modern axe uses 7.9 points of stamina per swing and 23 points for a power attack. It is capable (with upgrades) of doing more than 3x more damage than the katana. The modern axe is often regarded to be the best weapon in the game.

Location[]

The Modern Axe is located in Cave 2 - Hanging Cave, more precisely in Hidden Stash Room

• Enter the cave from the west entrance (in the cliff near the native camp by the lake on the southern portion of the map). Continue straight until you enter a room. There a are 2 cannibals in this room. After killing the cannibals, find the area in this room with water on the floor. Upon entering the area with water on the floor, follow the wall on the right and there will be a chair on a rock. To the right of the chair is a very long rope. At the bottom of this rope, continue straight and you will enter a room full of boxes. The modern axe is located at the back of the room, on top of some boxes. There is also a can of red paint, a paintbrush, some soda cans, modern arrows, meds, dynamite, ropes, flares, and an autopsy report.

(Note: You can climb down long ropes past your stamina limit without fear of falling.)
