Sons of the Forest Strength Icon Meaning

The strength icon in Sons of the Forest is the arm located above the map on the bottom-left of the HUD. It informs you of how high your vitality is and in turn, it is based on your overall strength within the game. As you are making your way through the world be sure to keep a close check on your Strength since it is thought that it will assist you a lot.

It is unknown at this moment exactly what leveling up your Strength does in the long term but there is a possibility that it may actually increase melee damage, at least that’s what members of the community have been thinking for the time being. Whatever the icon actually improves, it is likely going to be something that does matter so make sure to keep improving it.

Fastest Way to Grow Strength in Sons of the Forest
