The hang glider returns to Sons of the Forest and allows you to easily travel from landmark to landmark, as long as you have a a high point to jump off of.

Once you find a hang glider and equip it, you’ll need an elevated area to jump off of. Your jumping off point must be high enough for you to be in the air for a couple seconds.

In the air, your vertical controls will be inverted; press “W” to descend, which will increase your speed, and press “S” to ascend and slow down. Horizontal controls remain the same: “A” to fly left and “D” to fly right.

To land the hang glider, you can either nose dive straight down or press “S” until you slow down to a halt until you eventually reach the ground. You won’t take any fall damage for crash landing onto the ground, but make sure to stray away from any walls or trees because you will fall out of the sky.

The hang glider won’t fit into your backpack, so you’ll have to either remember where you leave your hang glider or return to a hang glider’s location to get another one.
