Welcome to the ultimate guide on duplicating shotguns in Sons of the Forest. As you may have already experienced, firearms are not easily accessible in the game, which makes it all the more valuable when you do manage to acquire one.
You may have a hard time sharing your hard-earned weaponry with Kelvin and Virginia. That’s where the method of duplicating weapons comes in handy.
In this guide, we will be focusing specifically on duplicating the shotgun, which can also be applied to other weapons such as the pistol, Revolver, and Modern Axe.
You and your companions will always be well-armed and prepared for any danger with our step-by-step instructions on creating multiple copies of your favorite weapons.
How to Duplicate Shotgun

We have already discussed the location of the shotgun in a separate guide so do check that out. You will also need a shovel to dig for the shotgun so make sure you have that ready as well.
If this is your first time finding the shotgun, you must give the first shotgun you find to Virginia or Kelvin. The shotgun is hidden inside a grave at the edge of the map. When you dig the first one out and hand it over to your companion, create a tent nearby and save the game.
Log out of the game and load it back into your most recent save file. Take the shovel and go back to the shotgun location, dig the grave again and you will find another shotgun waiting for you.
