What are the purple markers in Sons Of The Forest?
To find Team B, you need to travel to each of these purple marker locations and complete various objectives there. You’ll know once you’ve completed the objective because you’ll get another popup in the bottom-left updating the quest progress, and the purple marker will disappear from your GPS.
Find Team B: What to do at each purple marker
Here’s our recommended order for dealing with the purple markers.
You can go to each purple marker in Sons Of The Forest in any order you like, but one of them requires you to have specialist gear so we’d recommend going there last. Above is our recommended order for finding Team B, and bnelow we’ll explain what to do at each of the purple markers:
Purple marker #1: Corpse hanging on a cliffside
Once you reach the first purple marker, you’ll see a dead soldier hanging from a rope on the side of a cliff. On the ground below them are a couple of vodka bottles that you can pick up. After that head round the right-hand side of the cliff until you can climb up to the top.
Once you’re on top of the cliff you’ll find that the rope holding the corpse up is tied to a rock in the ground. Loot anything near the rock, and then use your axe to chop the rope, sending the soldier down to the ground.
Head back down to the corpse and loot it to pick up the GPS locator and aFlashlight.
Purple marker #2: Corpse in the sea
The second purple marker may seem easy, but you do have to be wary of sharks. Here you need to swim out towards the red lifeboat on which the corpse is lying, and use the ladder to climb up into the lifeboat. Loot the soldier, and you’ll find another GPS locator and aPistol- your very first firearm.
Purple marker #3: Corpse buried in the ground
Before you reach the third purple marker, you’ll need to have obtained theShovel in Sons Of The Forest. And to obtain the Shovel you need to have picked up theRebreatherand theRope Gun, which means you’re likely to come to this final purple marker quite a bit later on than the others.
Once you’re at the exact point of the purple marker (we’d recommend using the middle mouse button to zoom the GPS map in to help with this), you’ll find a cross in the ground denoting a buried body. Loot the cloth from the cross, and then equip your Shovel.
Look down in front of the cross, and a shovel icon will appear, prompting you to dig. Left-click to start digging, and you’ll quickly find the dead soldier buried inside a wooden casket. Loot the corpse, and you’ll find the last GPS locator, as well as aShotgun.
That’s everything you need to do at each of the purple markers in Sons Of The Forest. Sadly you couldn’t rescue anyone in Team B, but at least you got some very useful equipment from the quest! Now that you have access to firearms, it’s a good idea to learnhow to recruit Virginia in Sons Of The Forest, because her ability to dual-wield firearms makes her a powerful force against your enemies.
