The Modern Axe is a significantly better weapon than the Tactical Axe in Sons of the Forest. The Crafted Club can hold players off for a while, but the Modern Axe is a much better option for dealing with some of the more dangerous enemies in the game. There’s nothing stopping players from getting it early, making it a lot easier to chop trees and deal with creatures. This can be found close to one of the purple icons, but if that is already gone, players can find it by going straight from the starting point at the beach, trying to reach the first cave by the snowy mountain. This is how to find the Modern Axe in Sons of the Forest.
