Once you have the coins in Sons of the Forest, you can use them to craft Time Bombs in the game. Since the resource is not something you will be able to use for trading, the only other option for you to use them is to make explosives.

To be able to craft one Time Bomb, you will need to have at least five coins in your inventory along with other ingredients to make it. Here is a list of everything that you need to make Time Bombs in Sons of the Forest:

  • x1 C4 Brick
  • x1 Circuit Board
  • x1 Wire
  • x1 Duct Tape

Once you can get your hands on all the materials, you will be required to craft the bomb, which is not entirely complicated. All you have to do is Press "I" to open up the inventory, select all the materials, and then click the cogwheel icon.

This will allow you to craft the bomb and use the resources in return automatically. You can then click on it again to equip the Time Biomb you have crafted.

While an incredibly effective tool, the Time Bomb is difficult to use in Sons of the Forest. This is because the bomb takes around five seconds to explode. Hence timing it right will be one of the biggest things that you will be required to master.
