It seems to me that a lot of the trouble people are having with the game is they only use the hunter bows. The boltblasters are very powerful but they impede your mobility, and the blastslings are incredible but they burn a lot of resources. Shredder gauntlets are probably my least favourite weapons in the game, but it looks like using them with skill is key to easing the toughest fights.
@@BM-wf9uf The boltblaster makes you dive like on elden ring if your overweight with a heavy weapon lol. It actually can dodge through alot of attacks if timed properly.
Agreed I hardly ever used the shredder until I saw this video this challenge was driving me insane as I don’t really like the warrior bows either feels like I’m shooting pellets at it & the other weapons aren’t that powerful but the shredder was incredible once it clicks & you get the 3 hit blast combo going it’s very powerful! Defo need to experiment with all the weapons more.
My biggest problem with fights like this, even after watching this video is that Horizon for me has always been about using the right weapons destroying multiple weak points, using elemental ammo to make some pieces explode and stuff like. But, here he just (no disrespect) mashed his way through it using the shredder gauntlet, and to me that is no different than just abusing another high damage weapon. Instead of using multiple weapons and ammunitions with different elements to go for the weak points and the game encouraging that playstyle, they just give you shitty weapons... why?
Shredder Gauntlets are insanely powerful. Once you learn they will return to you so you need to consistently move & roll in one direction you can dish out a ton of damage. The electric one is insane!!
You saved me thank you. I tried so many other methods on RUclips and this is the only one that worked. Not to mention how much more simple this method is compared to the others
Man this is the best Forbidden West video I've been on RUclips. You've opened up a whole new world for me with the shredders in this game. Thank you for your skilled plays!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 A round of applause to you, sir. I literally just beat this challenge(Hard) using your method and I barely use the Shredder Gautlets.
Impressive I just started the arena (very hard, aim assist off) and its so hard. And thats just the easiest difficulty Im a little bited scared of what comes in legendary lol
Wow. First time I dropped into Rematch, I didn't realize they took all my fancy toys away. Spent a few seconds trying to figure out where my suped up elemental bow went.
It's slightly annoying how some people effortlessly aim and hit something. Basically a quick scope. Whereas I have to take my sweet time and it moves out of the way just as I release.
The Slitherfang fight I found the most difficult. After that, I got to Expert quite easily, until the Stormbird glitched on me twice. I then got annoyed and ran through it all on Story.
Yeah the difficulty levels were kinda broken on very hard. I think they needed to make the final challenges without a time limit and just have the preset loadout because a time limit and preset loadout is a bit harsh
I've noticed a lot of the enemy AI seems to be WAY more aggressive on PS4 than PS5. We're noticing that with The Enduring, too. On PS5 people are taking her down in a fair fight on VH, on PS4 she just completely wrecks your shit on VH, even for someone like me who 100% cleared HZD on UH. I'm not even sure she's beatable on UH on PS4. I wonder if the Slitherfang AI is doing the same thing...
It's mostly just AI manipulation. I have done it enough to understand where to stand top avoid long range attacks and focus on staggering him to cancel each short range attack. It takes A LOT of time and luck. The record is 50% skill and 50% luck. For every run where I get good attack cancels there are 50-70 other runs where I didn't
Nah I've done the slitherfang on my brothers ps4 UH and got 3rd in the world a few months ago when it wasn't super competitive. The enduring however was a lot easier than the other pit masters. Never did that on PS4 though. I don't think the slitherfang is different. Feels about the same
your an absolute beast bro! such precision and accuracy!Too bad goofs using cheats are simply allowed to own the leaderboards and the devs do NOTHING to combat cheating!
my wife said the same thing when she saw me using this weapon. she's been using the warrior bow on her play through (talking sh*t like she's the best), until she watched me melt 2 leaplashers and a ravenger with the shredders.
Wow.... I just keep losing to this damn thing. At least whenever I fight it, it just constantly bobs and weaves so quickly and I can never seem to evade it's attacks at all but you just tore it apart like nothing.
@@pixl41 thanks, yeah I had tried that and it wasn't letting me but at some point it started to. This game is really glitchy on PS4, I have a ton of pictures of amusing glitches but some have been REALLY frustrating. There was a day where it was practically unplayable.
@@mildymorbid dang. Hopefully they start patching some of them out. I'm lucky and haven't seen many glitches at all. Also make sure your weapon stamina bar hasn't been depleted if it doesn't throw. If it depletes it won't let you use the triple shredder :)
Me: the shredder gauntlet sucks.. me later: oh you can charge it I did not know (100 hours into the game) me now after this video: tomorrow I will upgrade the shit out of my purple gauntlet and my name will be: shredder man
Try selecting it in the weapon wheel (I thought it was preselected so might not be it). If that doesn't work your stamina bar isn't depleted right? Another person said they had the same issue on ps4 so maybe it's a common bug? Either way I hope you find a fix for it!
This is not pure skills. Let's admit that this is also RNG. Like there are only few electric shock coming from the Slitherfang. It also explodes pretty early which is very questionable. Meanwhile our slitherfang would alwaya do tackle and electric shock which is very hard to dodge at.
I like the fact that here the thing seems to blind to cause any damage to the player especially in the beginning but it hits me like 3 times in a row without a chance for me to dodge it Edit: F*ck finally I made it!🐍
Yeah it did attack me a few times I just never got hit. The reason it attacks so little is because I am hitting it enough to stun it when it starts to enter attack animations (just have to constantly hit it to get it to cancel by the next attack) and also knocking it out and blowing up the sacs cancel his attacks. On top of all of that I position myself so he has to maneuver to attack. He doesn't attack much because I don't give him many opportunities to attack. And partly luck 😁
Oh and yes I did it many times. That's how I mastered this technique it get around 1:30 in my newer (former) record. I don't feel like following the meta much anymore since it's very difficult to reproduce everything to get the world records so I stopped after my third time reacquiring the record
@@pixl41 Man when I fight him i barley touch the ground and he already charge at me or shoot me with electricity. I don't even have controls over alloy.
@Cykada yeah you gotta stay closer to him to avoid the electricity. That's hard to avoid when he starts that attack. Try waiting for him to be closer before jumping down and prepare the shredder gauntlet while you wait
Is there a performance mode on PS4 Pro or is it locked? I'm pretty sure it has performance mode. You can find it in the settings. It will drop the resolution and give you a pretty consistent 60fps
From my experimentation it makes it much easier to catch the shredder disc. Also if you just throw it your sprint is disabled for a few seconds (maybe a glitch) and if you roll it negates that :)
Don't think I was directly hit in this one. Dodging gives you a few invincibility frames so you gotta learn to time the dodges and avoid the attacks! Hope that helps! :)
Thnx it halp but realy, had to fight it with arrows, once i ran out off discks like half the health bar, had to switch to hunter bow. I did it, not becouse of the tactiks, i managed to to doge like 95% of its attacks sone how. Thx any way!
@@pixl41 Lol doubt it. I'm actually pretty great at the game but I've never really bothered with Shredder Gauntlets other than when the game requires it. & whenever I do I find them somewhat difficult to catch, mainly because it's hard to determine what direction they're gonna fly back at. Doing it up close like this w zero time to respond has to be crazy difficulty. Must require some crazy brain to finger reaction speed.
@@skins4thewin took a lot of practice that's for sure. After a while you pick up a pattern though. Not sure how it works but subconsciously I can figure where it's going. I think it's how you are moving when you throw it
@@pixl41 I see. I'm trying to beat it now on Ultra Hard and good lord is it tough! Am trying to get the hang of the Gauntlet but it's just really not happening for me. I'm having a hard time having my attack interrupted or process of catching it w the huge snake flailing everywhere, I can't even see the thing returning to me half the time & just completely lose track of where it is. Do you have any other tips for using other weapons to beat it? Cus I can use any other weapon very effectively just not Gauntlets lol.
@@pixl41 I mean seriously, I've always considered myself to be a very good player. Even Ultra Hard has been pretty easy thus far, but this... this is a completely different ballgame. I have tried and tried and tried & I just can't do this! I started thinking that Fire might be the answer, with 3 wires you can pretty easily engulf it. But Fire was nerfed so effing bad in this game that it barely does any damage. I'm just really not sure what the hell to do! Shredder Gauntlets simply aren't an option as I just can't manage them, so I'm looking for literally ANY other strategy I can use. In my 1st playthru I beat it using the Plasma Boltblaster as my strategy & it worked well, but I can't get the damn thing to eject it's damn plasma canisters which I want to wait for that to use it. Tried traps, spikes, advanced hunter arrows, none of it is strong or fast enough. And I try to avoid damage as best I can but one hit takes you down to critical. I dunno wtf to do!
Really? Is that in very hard? Last I checked I was still 3rd and the two above were ~1:15. I've been off the grind lately since I've been busy but I hope to beat 1:15 soon.
You can check the very hard leaderboard in the game or look at the bottom at the end of the video. I have a better time of 1:30 now. The reason he doesn't do the attacks is a combination of understanding the enemy mechanics, manipulating the enemy behavior, and RNG. Whenever he tried to enter a long range attack, I try stunning him with the triple shredder. Hope that helps!
New world record up!

Yeah they did a lot better of a job making the weapons more balanced than the first game
That's the problem with weapons like the boltblasters, for a game where mobility is critical to success I can see why people try and stick to bows.

Props to you man. I never used the shredder gauntlets until recently. They kick butt

And thats just the easiest difficulty

Dude! This is amazing. I dunno how I'm gonna do this when I do NG+ and can't lower the difficulty.
fknay....that was glorious. Well done, sir! 🏆

THANK YOU! I did not know how you were supposed to use shredders.
Also, reported for nsfw content... That poor Slitherfang
Amazing! Never knew those discs were so powerful!
Yep I didn't either until I started getting good times with it
I started using them as soon as they get given and they are brilliant give quite the damage
Slitherfang is one of the coolest looking things I've ever seen!
it is base on snake
@@blob2092 it thought so too! isnt that crazy?

I love fighting the machines but not sure how I feel about having a time limit to kill them
Yeah I think for these locked loadout challenges there shouldn't have been a limit
your an absolute beast bro! such precision and accuracy!Too bad goofs using cheats are simply allowed to own the leaderboards and the devs do NOTHING to combat cheating!
so the shredder actually is useful, thank you
My favorite weapon in the whole game
Oh man, I need to.use this weapon now! I didn't know they were that effective!

Talk about an ass whooping! That cobra did not stand a chance!
I hate the pre load out that they give you for this fight 😒
Thank u....would have never used that weapon like that
No problem!
That was pretty badass!
Thank you !! 😂😂😂😂😂😂this was really frustrating! Shredder gauntlet is the shit !
admittedly there is an element of luck involved
This thing absolutely sucks. I hated fighting this snake.. especially without my go to ammo.
I placed top 600 but never thought of using that strategy.
Wow.... I just keep losing to this damn thing. At least whenever I fight it, it just constantly bobs and weaves so quickly and I can never seem to evade it's attacks at all but you just tore it apart like nothing.
How are you throwing multiple gauntlet discs? All my skills are locked, it won't let me use them ...
It's a weapon technique. It's already selected. You just press R1 while aiming to do it :)

How are those shredder blades returning instantly?
They've been nerfed unfortunately but this is still a valid strategy for completing the arena with a good time
Very impressive!
I've been sleeping on the disk gauntlet.
It's a great weapon for sure
That’s pretty much the exact opposite of my experience
Does the arena choose your weapon for you?
Yup, but only for the final challenges in each level. The rest let you choose your weapons
well under 1 min now on ultra hard somehow..
yep, in fact.
Wonder how many time u did this, cos clearly u got lucky there that snake didn't even attack you once.
Yeah it did attack me a few times I just never got hit.
