Yo!!!! Idk if you know but there are 2 random tremortusks outside the map with some greenshine, I can show you where it's at idk if you can get up here normally but I was already out of the map running along the edge and found it, also there more green shine and chests other places kinda outside the map but nothing special in the chests
Ok you can just walk there if you take a certain path but idk if it's supposed to be there, or the map is wrong or something, the other place with green shine is still on the map but the edge but you still have to go out of the map first to get there
Assassins creed has the same thing, and your visibility is also lower, so enemies can't see u as well at night.. also if u listen carefully alot of the same actors and creators as Assassins Creed are in it too. Especially Danny Wallace aka "Sean Hastings" from Assassins Creed and Wathdogs etc
I’ve seen no content creators mention this but you can store your ammunition in your stash. Advanced blast spikes are fairly expensive to use liberally, but you can use power shots level 3 to generate up to 18 spikes for free. Then you can store these in your stash. With valor surge master maxed, you’ll very quickly accumulate hundreds of spikes.
Or you can just get the lower level spike thrower which is actually more powerful, and has flaming spikes which also explode, and instead of normal spikes as another ammo type it has drill spikes which are amazing and keep drilling on impact, and both use less resources to make ammo of that type. I forgot what that specific one is called, but it's underrated as it's blue not purple, but.. I've compared the two and drill spike one is much better than the purple one with the explosive spikes. If u haven't tried it try it.. it's cheap.. and massively affective
I only used fast travel, in the first game, when I had done everything in the game and was at the last final boss story segment. Going to do the same in this game as well, taking the scenic route, heh.
My tip is to switch to story difficulty before doing the arena so you can get all the medals quite easily. I played legit up until the Stormbird arena fight and then I had to switch cuz my gear sucked at level 28.
I honestly started doing this for the final challenge in each tier. I just can’t stand being given a fixed load out, which tends to be trash compared to my actual gear.
Way to complete the Arena: 1) Change difficulty to custom 2) change everything to very easy or Story and destroy everything. 3) Complete everything, buy your item with the medals, and then change the difficulty back to whatever you want. 4) Enjoy
Literally just set the difficulty to story (theres no difficulty trophies) then cheese the arena by using the explosive spike thrower and blastsling. You will breeze through all challenges. Use all your medals to buy all legendaries. Make sure u have 3k+ shards for all the challenge fees. Set difficulty back to your preferred one when done.
Yup I did the same. Playing on Very Hard but had no desire to try and do the arena properly. Got kitted out with legendary items now carrying on with the game
What about unlocking the next difficulty in the arena? I beat the first three (easiest difficulty) but in order to unlock the higher difficulties you have to beat the fourth one which forces you to select normal difficulty ( the slither fang fight). Or can I just keep repeating the same arena challenges and still earn medals?
Arena is so clutch for great items, got the legendary carja armor as well as the legendary hunter and sharpshot bows which are fantastic. Got a legendary warrior bow by completing all of the race events.
It would be nice if you got the machine parts from the machine. I mean it’s possible with the small ones but not if there’s only one or you kill them really fast
what i tend to do is play the first bits of games. make a few mistakes and then restart game.. saves making dummy mistakes early on that cost later. these video are pretty helpful. there is so much to see in game.
Someone's probably already informed you but I read in the Notebook under tutorial about Apex variants and it said that they have an increased chance of appearing at night AND after killing several of their regular variants so if you are having trouble maybe farm the crap out of the normal ones then come back at night to see if an Apex is around.
What stuff are you doing of you don't mind? Iv done all the green exclamation mark side quests on a huge chunk of the map. Am I missing something dude? Like hidden quests or something?
Trick to this game is to use the Spike thrower and later Skykiller. U don't need weakness or planning before hand. If u need resources, go to the hunting ground in the Northwest where u can find 1 rollerback and 3 bellowbacks. U just need to hack one and it will destroy everything (assuming u have put some points in machine master). U'll find urself dying less especially on hard mode.
in regards to spawning apex variants yes they spawn more often at night but also if continually kill the regular kind at the spawn point they do start spawning during the day also, i needed so many slitherfang grinders for gear ended up spawning apex variants every time, a great spot for slitherfang farm is the spawn point a little north of hidden ember as there is a shelter a little further north up the rockface, kill slitherfang then travel back to shelter (fast or slow either works lol) by the time u travel back its respawned, also it gives u a chance to craft ammo, restock, save etc b4 tackling the next possibly apex slitherfang
Is there a counter to know how many you have taken down of the regular to meet the ~7 I think it is, that's needed? I haven't noticed any nor looked for that matter 😅
I'm pretty sure the hearts in the sell valuables category are not used for crafting but the ones that are not, are but I still suggest not selling them. just in case
Also jor the in game description states for apexs "they are more common the more you kill their normal counterparts as well as being more common at night" so kill a couple normals in a row, also you don't need the legendary blastsling lol just put the game to story mode to blaze through the arena
That’s what I did last night. Every arena given legendary armor, weapon and mod in less then 90 minutes. Also- how in the actual f- do people at the leaderboard have like 4.5 second times on almost every challenge??
@@furiousanger3352 even on story, I can see some challenges that only took 10 seconds with a range dmg armor, and explosives, but you can’t use valor surge in the first few seconds..? Unless there’s a way to build up and save a full valor charge before entering the arena, but that’d have to be investigated.
The only problem w focusing on this stuff after the main story is by then the stuff you get is somewhat useless. It's far more helpful if you've still got some game to play when you get this stuff I think.
@@lwaldorf7796 Normally I'd say that too, but from what I've heard the main story actually locks you out of a lot of side content til you get far enough, so it might actually be wise to focus on both. Maybe just do whatever side quests you come across but also follow the main story path for a good while.
A lot of games do this. I will never understand the design choice of putting the very best armor and weapons at the end of a game, after you've completed the main story. I want to USE IT. Not look at it in my inventory before take the game out of my console. Bad design choices.
The arena was an amazing place to get weapons from, I only need the final Legend Battle to have complete everything, Thanks for your videos, which has helped me 👍
Honestly I hate when games do this when you grind to get the most powerful weapons , but you basically made it through 98% of the game with the gear you've been using . I'm pretty much at the last mission and thinking of going for these legendary gear , but why?? .
Until we get NG+, the “hidden” endgame content (time-killer) after story, is upgrading your weapons and armor to max level, with amazing mods and having multiple max level builds suited for each playstyle(class). Also, aforementioned above, you can cheese through crafting the most expensive ammo types in the game for FREE by using the hunter class ability, Power Shots, to refill the ammo type currently selected on your current weapon, then send that ammo to the stash! Rinse and repeat! Easy work of “crafting” all the ammo you need for blastslings, tearblast ammo, advanced arrow types, and spike thrower ammo
@@kntbotmurderhornet8357 Please elaborate on the Power Shots valor surge. Does it keep refreshing your ammo even if you don't shoot any arrows? How to mass produce ammos exactly? Do you just stand in front of your stash, activate the valor surge and keep putting ammo in?
Me: *killing machines every time I see them no matter what variant* Also me: “why in the fuck are they all so strong and aggressive every time I see them now” 🤣
Yea, I experienced that too with the arena. Wanted that legendary hunter bow and you said to get it you had to do the coliseum thing and that its pretty easy. At the time i was level 20 or so and i figured id start having issues later on in the challenges but about 20 seconds into the FIRST challenge I realized i stood no chance and had to get better gear. Maybe switch the recommendation on that cuz i went out of my way to get to the area and do all the quests to do it only to realize i wasnt powerful enough.
I find the arena awesome because honestly, for a lot of people this is all they want. They don’t really care about in-depth story, they just wanna take down badass robots.
Great VIDEO ... I used shock arrows in most of the cases because it was more useful to use it with the hunter bows and the triple notch, group machines and finished them with the skykiller. There is also a spot perfect to kill an Apex Dreadwing all alone in the south part of the coast region in small beach near a campfire.
Yeah, in the first section 99% is only ‘Selling For Metal Shards’, except they also put ‘Processed Metal Blocks’ in there, which you do need for some crafting/upgrades!
@@Simplystimulating Wish I could advise, but I'm only just venturing out into the Forbidden West 'proper' myself. At the moment, I'll keep about 6 of most things and sell any excess above that. Also, if there's a hard to get component for an upgrade and I find it at a Merchant, I'll often buy more than one in case it's needed again for another. HTH
With regard to The Great MRE, you say you’ll “only need one shellfish claw and that will be a game changer!?” Well that’s just plain wrong! YOU just needed 1 because you already had 1 and already had the 3 jungle bird wings that are also required. So that’s 5 items that are required, not just 1. So it’s definitely NOT a game changer! I made 3 of these and it took me an average of 15 minutes to get the required ingredients. So if you wanna go in with 4 of these ready, that’s an hour of grinding to do to get the stuff.
I beat the game on Normal difficulty, and months later, I went back and tried the arena challenges, and I just got destroyed without adjusting the difficulty settings. I wanted to obtain those legendary items, and I ended up having to lower the difficulty to Story in order to do it. I cleared the first few on Normal difficulty just fine, but starting with the third challenge with the Spikesnouts and Rollerback, I could not clear it, and even if I did, the challenges that followed were just way too insanely hard for my skill level, especially once they brought in all those Apex machines.
I will give you fastest way to take off all arena items. Open settings, set damage to machines to "story" and go into a nice ride through all arena stages.
The Locked Loadouts for arena challenges are absolutely brutal on ultra hard. I don't know if ill ever be able to complete them unless i first cheat them on a lower difficulty and then try it on v hard with the best gear
My brother in christ, I cant even get the medals for all the fixed loadouts after tremortusk tussle on normal. I can't even imagine how you're doing it on ultra hard.
Damn that’s a lot of good, helpful information. Seems sorta wrong that these mechanics aren’t better explained, though I give em credit for making an effort at least. HFW has more tutorials & explanations than a lot of games. Anyway thanks for the info dude, appreciate it.
JorRaptor I can’t switch my renegade warrior bow to spread shot technique. I’ve unlocked it on the skill tree but it won’t allow me to switch on the weapon wheel with d pad. Very frustrating
i think apex spawns are correlated to single days too. i mean when i made it night one time, i wouldn’t get an Apex slaughterspine after 20+ tries. i fast forwarded to the next day, and got only apexes that night. I dunno, could help someone who was as frustrated as I was!
drinking game: watch all of jorraptor's hfw videos und drink a shot everytime he tells you complete the broken sky main mission and the main mission that follows
@JorRaptor Is there any chance you could do at least one video breaking down Best Gear for each of the 4 play styles / trees? In my case for instance, I'm really most into Stealth in my play style. Not many people are and so most 'best gear' ends up being about warrior or hunter. I'd really love to see what gear can be had that boosts Stealth and maybe this could be done for the other less-used trees as well. Thanks for considering! Love your videos! You're the best out there! ^_^
The best I found was the Utari one, it is purple/very rare level and has at least 3 bonuses for stealth.. I apologize for not exactly remembering the name but I believe you get it from doing Zo's quest. There is also a gorgeous red carja armor that you definitely want if your grinding for parts and shards. It boosts both of those at the same time.
@@chrissyce5613 I've seen that one in listings (I play reeealllly slow) - Utari Harvester. That looks like the first set I'm aiming for beyond the ones JorRaptor is naming otherwise :)
I've beaten a few arena levels, but I need better gear before I can take on any more. I don't have enough variation on the elemental effects; no plasma, weak acid weapon, etc. Not to mention my armor is pretty weak as well. Sucks, because I want to take on the arena more.
For the dreadwing site, you have to just keep killing the standard dreadwings, I figured that out the hard way, I was trying to upgrade my Oseram Artificer and one of the upgrades costs two dreadwing primary nerves, and five metal fangs. I kept killing the level 26 dreadwings, when all of a sudden, there's a level 40 son of a b*tch who whooped my a*s.
I was like 30 lol. I limit myself 3 hrs max a day. I think I’m around 47 hrs so far and only level 38 ish. But I’m literally doing all side quest as I go.
Trying to make the great MRE - can not find 'jungle bird wing' anywhere....I've gone to the spot on the map where the quest to find it says but can only find ducks which don't drop the jungle bird wings.... anyone??
Let me tell you how to do the Arena right: Set the game to Story mode>Done. I was struggling with the first challenges on Normal, set it to Story for the first time in 45+ hours, not even 40 minutes later I had completed all the challenges up to Legendary at level 29 (and there's Apexes lvl 40+ in there) and farmed all the tokens, bought the entire Arena shop and even had about 30~ spares left. I just had a purple bomb slinger with advanced exploding bombs, every encounter was 1 bomb = 1 kill, it's literally busted. I know that some will think this is too cheesy but in less than 24 hours I'm going to dive into Elden Ring for weeks to no end completely forgetting how to play this game, so today I'm just getting all the goodies to set me up for success when I'll came back later in March having completely forgotten how to play this :P
Holy heart Batman! I was on autopilot when selling and looking only at the description of the item which said 'selling for shards' even on the apex variant heart. Not nice Guerilla!
Is it possible to beat the slitherfang in arena on very hard difficulty? Like i am determined to play the entire game on very hard but it just seems impossible without my build, the build they provide is trash
Question for you concerning the computer over rides and purified ammo. I finished the game and did all the side quests but not the arena, combat 'arenas" and racing. I am missing about 6 over rides and never even got any of the purified ammo types to unlock for me. The update made my skills I had chosen disappear and I couldn't find a way to reset them so I am starting a new game instead of going back to look for them. Any ideas on what I missed game wise? The game gave so many weapons and armors for free I never bought any except for one purple weapon and Carja armor that increased harvesting parts and shards for grinding. Honestly, Boomer's weapon and hunter arrow was all I needed to do the last main quest. Edit: I have a brain injury that makes it hard to play 3rd person and do anything else including watch vids or even tv. 3rd person games are incredibly hard for me to play so I have to 'retrain' my brain to do it so I have not been able to find any written information on where to get all ammo types or basically anything so any help would be great. Bethesda manages to make great rpg and open world games that are playable in 1st or 3rd person so I'm not sure why other companies don't do it.
You have to get a lancehorn circulator first, then go to the hunting grounds at The Raintrace where you trade the circulator for a purgewater hunting bow. If you could specify any other questions I’ll happily help you out man.
If I understand you correctly you need help finding parts for overrides right? If you tell me what parts you need I’ll find out where you can find them
You can find many bows with fire or acid arrows, but I don’t think you can get plasma arrows until further into story progression, or by unlocking the “Forgefall” sharpshot bow from the arena for 80 arena medals. If you loved elemental bows in Horizon Zero Dawn, “The Sun Scourge” legendary hunter bow is a must have! Complete every bandit camp in the game, as well as the mission granted upon completing the final bandit camp, to be rewarded this amazing beast. Small elemental payloads followed by massive elemental buildup for fire, ice and acid arrows. Happy Hunting!
Played the Arena on story mode just to get all the legendary gear, I prefer hunting machines out in the wild than in the arena but I understand people like fighting machines I just do it in the open world 😜
⚠️ I can always count on you, JorRaptor, for the best HORIZON content. Will you post a best photo compilation for this new game, like you did with Zero Dawn? 😁
Some of the very rare weapons are actually better than legendary ones like the glowblast sharpshot bow and vindicator spike thrower and the icestorm boltblaster
Man it telling you apex hearts are only worth selling is frustrating. Not the biggest deal but I really hope they change that. Have definitely sold some cause it said that was all they were used for
Eh, I'm gonna want to at least get thru enough of the Arena to buy the Death Seeker Hunter Bow and that Nora armor you recommended, meaning I won't be even close to where I need to be to get a lot of the weapons you recommended using.

It’s so hard to pull myself out of this open world when playing, it’s rare that I even fast travel anywhere, it’s that good.
I only used fast travel, in the first game, when I had done everything in the game and was at the last final boss story segment. Going to do the same in this game as well, taking the scenic route, heh.
Same here. I absolutely love the feel of traveling on foot in Horizon. The landscapes and machines are just something else in the game.
THIS!! 💯% agreed!!

What stuff are you doing of you don't mind? Iv done all the green exclamation mark side quests on a huge chunk of the map. Am I missing something dude? Like hidden quests or something?
Good advice, the challenge with arena is often dps rather than survival
I agree, anything that can be used to upgrade something should NEVER appear in the valuables to sell category! Can't believe they did that....
Trick to this game is to use the Spike thrower and later Skykiller. U don't need weakness or planning before hand.

Also the more you kill the regular version of the Machine the more apex machines show up of the that machine.
Apex machines also become more common the more you defeat the normal variant of the specific machine

I finished the arena using Sharpshot Braced shot which does almost one hit.
In story mode u can literally one hit most enemies with braced shots and it is hilarious
On arena just set difficulty to story get all medal in 1 hour then switch back to hard again after buying all weapon
Slitherfang is not on that map location you showed. It must be quest gated. It does not show up until some main quest is completed.
Yea, I experienced that too with the arena. Wanted that legendary hunter bow and you said to get it you had to do the coliseum thing and that its pretty easy. At the time i was level 20 or so and i figured id start having issues later on in the challenges but about 20 seconds into the FIRST challenge I realized i stood no chance and had to get better gear. Maybe switch the recommendation on that cuz i went out of my way to get to the area and do all the quests to do it only to realize i wasnt powerful enough.
I love the ice arrow so useful and the lightning arrow so lifesavers
I used mostly using the the legendary exploding spike thrower in these challenges
Hello! Great video jorr! I would like to know if ure planning to do a videos about weapon coils, the best ones, farming coils ecc....thx!
I find the arena awesome because honestly, for a lot of people this is all they want. They don’t really care about in-depth story, they just wanna take down badass robots.
The story lost me totally in the first game and again in this one. Way too much techno babble for me tbh. Great game tho.
Great VIDEO ... I used shock arrows in most of the cases because it was more useful to use it with the hunter bows and the triple notch, group machines and finished them with the skykiller.
There is also a spot perfect to kill an Apex Dreadwing all alone in the south part of the coast region in small beach near a campfire.
Oeh thanks for sharing
Game: "Items in the VALUABLES TO SELL section are always safe to sell"
Also game: *puts apex hearts in the valuables to sell section*
oh
What else shouldn’t I sale??
Yeah, in the first section 99% is only ‘Selling For Metal Shards’, except they also put ‘Processed Metal Blocks’ in there, which you do need for some crafting/upgrades!
@@steveNCB7754 I haven’t sold metal blocks I remember those were important from the last game. So apek hearts blocks are important and what else?
@@Simplystimulating Wish I could advise, but I'm only just venturing out into the Forbidden West 'proper' myself. At the moment, I'll keep about 6 of most things and sell any excess above that. Also, if there's a hard to get component for an upgrade and I find it at a Merchant, I'll often buy more than one in case it's needed again for another. HTH
This is just what I needed! Thanks man!
With regard to The Great MRE, you say you’ll “only need one shellfish claw and that will be a game changer!?” Well that’s just plain wrong! YOU just needed 1 because you already had 1 and already had the 3 jungle bird wings that are also required. So that’s 5 items that are required, not just 1. So it’s definitely NOT a game changer! I made 3 of these and it took me an average of 15 minutes to get the required ingredients. So if you wanna go in with 4 of these ready, that’s an hour of grinding to do to get the stuff.
I beat the game on Normal difficulty, and months later, I went back and tried the arena challenges, and I just got destroyed without adjusting the difficulty settings. I wanted to obtain those legendary items, and I ended up having to lower the difficulty to Story in order to do it. I cleared the first few on Normal difficulty just fine, but starting with the third challenge with the Spikesnouts and Rollerback, I could not clear it, and even if I did, the challenges that followed were just way too insanely hard for my skill level, especially once they brought in all those Apex machines.
The arena part saved my a*s, I was stuck really early on, I'm just gonna spam my advanced explosive spikes.
Any idea how to find the Apex Slitherfang? Does your level and game progression matter for Apex variants?
I will give you fastest way to take off all arena items. Open settings, set damage to machines to "story" and go into a nice ride through all arena stages.
Ultra short with the blast forge is insane you can one shot every small Machine but with bigger machines use sustain burst(I hop this helps)
The Locked Loadouts for arena challenges are absolutely brutal on ultra hard. I don't know if ill ever be able to complete them unless i first cheat them on a lower difficulty and then try it on v hard with the best gear
My brother in christ, I cant even get the medals for all the fixed loadouts after tremortusk tussle on normal. I can't even imagine how you're doing it on ultra hard.
Damn that’s a lot of good, helpful information. Seems sorta wrong that these mechanics aren’t better explained, though I give em credit for making an effort at least. HFW has more tutorials & explanations than a lot of games. Anyway thanks for the info dude, appreciate it.
Love your horizon videos
JorRaptor I can’t switch my renegade warrior bow to spread shot technique. I’ve unlocked it on the skill tree but it won’t allow me to switch on the weapon wheel with d pad. Very frustrating
hey guy what outfit is he wearing at 5:13?
i think apex spawns are correlated to single days too. i mean when i made it night one time, i wouldn’t get an Apex slaughterspine after 20+ tries. i fast forwarded to the next day, and got only apexes that night. I dunno, could help someone who was as frustrated as I was!
drinking game: watch all of jorraptor's hfw videos und drink a shot everytime he tells you complete the broken sky main mission and the main mission that follows
BRB. GRABBING ANOTHER BOTTLE
Or every time he says "arrmore"
I got apex dreadwing heart randomly during one mission. For me apex variants spawn randomly during day/ night
@JorRaptor Is there any chance you could do at least one video breaking down Best Gear for each of the 4 play styles / trees? In my case for instance, I'm really most into Stealth in my play style. Not many people are and so most 'best gear' ends up being about warrior or hunter. I'd really love to see what gear can be had that boosts Stealth and maybe this could be done for the other less-used trees as well. Thanks for considering! Love your videos! You're the best out there! ^_^
I’d love to see him try stealth/critical hit armor and a load of smoke bombs in the arena 😂
The best I found was the Utari one, it is purple/very rare level and has at least 3 bonuses for stealth.. I apologize for not exactly remembering the name but I believe you get it from doing Zo's quest. There is also a gorgeous red carja armor that you definitely want if your grinding for parts and shards. It boosts both of those at the same time.
@@chrissyce5613 I've seen that one in listings (I play reeealllly slow) - Utari Harvester. That looks like the first set I'm aiming for beyond the ones JorRaptor is naming otherwise :)
I've beaten a few arena levels, but I need better gear before I can take on any more. I don't have enough variation on the elemental effects; no plasma, weak acid weapon, etc. Not to mention my armor is pretty weak as well.
Sucks, because I want to take on the arena more.
No one has special Ed new for sale. Wally world,gamestop,amazon and best buy. Some individual sellers do, but of course they charge double.
Hey, someone know where to find the suit of the state of play gameplay?
I’m so glad I never sold any hearts, I remember having this feeling that they have some sort of importance so always avoided selling them 😂
For the dreadwing site, you have to just keep killing the standard dreadwings, I figured that out the hard way, I was trying to upgrade my Oseram Artificer and one of the upgrades costs two dreadwing primary nerves, and five metal fangs. I kept killing the level 26 dreadwings, when all of a sudden, there's a level 40 son of a b*tch who whooped my a*s.
lmfao
You know can do the arena on story difficulty to make it easy like the hunting grounds thing
What is the name of the outfit you are wearing? Looks awesome! I might have missed it being said.
Still need that mod video for the weapons and outfits. There seems to be no legendary mods besides the ones the vendors sell.
Weapon mods on the correct weapons mixed with specific valor surges and weapon abilities will be the true discovery of end game
Yeah im still waiting for the mod tips outside of the vendor ones too craving more damage!!
How to get that white dye for legendary winter weave
Is anyone else having a problem with the melee pits? I can't get any of them to load. The screen goes black but never loads.
If you have pre ordered armor or spear in your inventory it glitches out. Put them in your stash and try. Worked for me 💪🏿
@@snoopyt05 thank you soooo much. I switched out my spear and now it works. I'm now doing the tutorial for it at level 50.
I was like 30 lol. I limit myself 3 hrs max a day. I think I’m around 47 hrs so far and only level 38 ish. But I’m literally doing all side quest as I go.
Trying to make the great MRE - can not find 'jungle bird wing' anywhere....I've gone to the spot on the map where the quest to find it says but can only find ducks which don't drop the jungle bird wings....
anyone??
Can anyone explain why some weapons have two same elemental symbols with different values but one will have a little arrow pointing up?!
Is there any news on new game plus?
Let me tell you how to do the Arena right: Set the game to Story mode>Done. I was struggling with the first challenges on Normal, set it to Story for the first time in 45+ hours, not even 40 minutes later I had completed all the challenges up to Legendary at level 29 (and there's Apexes lvl 40+ in there) and farmed all the tokens, bought the entire Arena shop and even had about 30~ spares left. I just had a purple bomb slinger with advanced exploding bombs, every encounter was 1 bomb = 1 kill, it's literally busted. I know that some will think this is too cheesy but in less than 24 hours I'm going to dive into Elden Ring for weeks to no end completely forgetting how to play this game, so today I'm just getting all the goodies to set me up for success when I'll came back later in March having completely forgotten how to play this :P
Is there a way to get back armor that was sold?
Holy heart Batman! I was on autopilot when selling and looking only at the description of the item which said 'selling for shards' even on the apex variant heart. Not nice Guerilla!
what about coil? how and where can you farm some coils
Anyone on here hear about any dlc? I am eagerly awaiting that announcement. How long did it take them last time? A month or two maybe?
Are there any war machines that you fight?
I beat every challenge with just traps more not in 30sek every challenge was done
Is it possible to beat the slitherfang in arena on very hard difficulty? Like i am determined to play the entire game on very hard but it just seems impossible without my build, the build they provide is trash
my arena is bugged after i kill the machines nothing happens no end so it goes on forever? don't know what to do
Question for you concerning the computer over rides and purified ammo. I finished the game and did all the side quests but not the arena, combat 'arenas" and racing. I am missing about 6 over rides and never even got any of the purified ammo types to unlock for me. The update made my skills I had chosen disappear and I couldn't find a way to reset them so I am starting a new game instead of going back to look for them. Any ideas on what I missed game wise? The game gave so many weapons and armors for free I never bought any except for one purple weapon and Carja armor that increased harvesting parts and shards for grinding. Honestly, Boomer's weapon and hunter arrow was all I needed to do the last main quest.
Edit: I have a brain injury that makes it hard to play 3rd person and do anything else including watch vids or even tv. 3rd person games are incredibly hard for me to play so I have to 'retrain' my brain to do it so I have not been able to find any written information on where to get all ammo types or basically anything so any help would be great. Bethesda manages to make great rpg and open world games that are playable in 1st or 3rd person so I'm not sure why other companies don't do it.
I’ll find out for you
You have to get a lancehorn circulator first, then go to the hunting grounds at The Raintrace where you trade the circulator for a purgewater hunting bow. If you could specify any other questions I’ll happily help you out man.
If I understand you correctly you need help finding parts for overrides right? If you tell me what parts you need I’ll find out where you can find them
Do you still need help?
How do i get plasma arrows, fire arrows, and the acid arrows. Is there a certain type of bow I need ???
You can find many bows with fire or acid arrows, but I don’t think you can get plasma arrows until further into story progression, or by unlocking the “Forgefall” sharpshot bow from the arena for 80 arena medals.
If you loved elemental bows in Horizon Zero Dawn, “The Sun Scourge” legendary hunter bow is a must have! Complete every bandit camp in the game, as well as the mission granted upon completing the final bandit camp, to be rewarded this amazing beast.
Small elemental payloads followed by massive elemental buildup for fire, ice and acid arrows. Happy Hunting!
Do you play on performance mode?
Sorry my phone made me dislike the video first but k switched it to like kept it up with the videos your tips really help me out :)
Played the Arena on story mode just to get all the legendary gear, I prefer hunting machines out in the wild than in the arena but I understand people like fighting machines I just do it in the open world 😜
I have all the very rare weapon's from the arena as well
⚠️ I can always count on you, JorRaptor, for the best HORIZON content. Will you post a best photo compilation for this new game, like you did with Zero Dawn? 😁
Some of the very rare weapons are actually better than legendary ones like the glowblast sharpshot bow and vindicator spike thrower and the icestorm boltblaster
Man it telling you apex hearts are only worth selling is frustrating. Not the biggest deal but I really hope they change that. Have definitely sold some cause it said that was all they were used for
Can you please!!! Please!!! Make a video of the best non legendary weapons. How and when to get them?! Please!!!?!!!
The arenas arent timed are they?
What should I buy first in the Arena?
What difficulty do you play on?
The purple blast sling corrosive blast sling you don't need the wings of the 10
Thanks for the shoutout @jorraptor 😀😀
How do you carry so many bows on wepaon wheel
THANKS ALOT FOR STORMBIRD LOCATION!!!!!!!
Thanks
Eh, I'm gonna want to at least get thru enough of the Arena to buy the Death Seeker Hunter Bow and that Nora armor you recommended, meaning I won't be even close to where I need to be to get a lot of the weapons you recommended using.
What warrior now is the best??
At that first location at daytime that should be an apex dreadwing that’s what I’ve experienced
