Players must first obtain the entire Golden Armor set as a prerequisite for unlocking the Arm Door. Players can refer to the following steps to easily obtain the armor:

1. Enter the Second Cave level, present within the southeast corner of the map.

2. Follow your GPS and head to the location, going through the cave until you reach a locked door.

3. Use the Maintenance Keycard to unlock the first level and follow the path ahead.

4. Unlock the rather ominous-looking yellow door to trigger a cutscene.

5. You will have to deal with a fair number of enemies in this area, so make sure to carry a suitable weapon.

6. Enter the right corridor once you make your way through the hallway.

7. Next, enter Level 2 and go straight to the entrance.

8. Finally, turn right at the second entrance to enter a room.

9. The Golden Armor can be seen lying on a couch; grab and equip it if desired.

Unlike regular armor in-game, the Golden Armor is unique in its durability as it can never be damaged or broken, regardless of the level of abuse. This factor and its striking gold sheen make it a lucrative endgame option for Sons of the Forest players. A Katana can also be found in the vicinity.

• Several items that further flesh out the story will also be present in this zone, be sure not to miss them.
• The arm door is just past the broken wall near the luxury bathroom.
• Finally, equip the Golden Armor to come face-to-face with the arm door and unlock it using the E key.

Inside the room, players can find a variety of ammunition, cash, and a shotgun for later use.
