Note: Also meant to mention that overdraw coils can be useful on Hunter Bows because they'll boost impact, tear, AND elemental buildup! If you want to make sure you're boosting everything, overdraw coils are great! Just make sure you're overdrawing most/all of your shots!
Nice, just to double check this works on sharpshot bows as well right
I’m gonna be honest I noticed the Hunter Bows are good with tear but I didn’t realize that was their main function in the second game I’ve mostly been using them for damage mainly because their draw speed is a lot faster than the sharp shot bows
Try the cleaving sharpshot bow fully upgraded it has 40% increase in draw speed and two coil slots for extra draw speed increases. Has the power and range of a sharpshot and the firing rate and close range capability of a hunter bow. Useful for targeting weak spots and attacking from range, where enemies' ranged attacks are easier to dodge.
Also sharpshot bows have the highest critical damage multiplier 2.5×. So invest in increased critical hit chance and you have yourself a beast of a weapon.
It's not a bad idea due to the amount of damage removing a part causes. Infact with the resources being destroyed if the machine is killed the game places hunter bows as a viable option
@@ianmills9266 Typically the machine first and then I used the Hunter arrows on the week spots specifically the Death seeker
I use Sharpshot for damage, Hunter with fast charge and reload coil for ripping of easy parts when they are knocked down.
@@ianmills9266 just turn on easy loot
Man, your channel is really the go to place for top quality guides for FW.👍
Thanks Tim! That's very nice of you to say! 😄 I'm glad you find my content helpful!
6:30 that Fireclaw kill was epic 🤯
Haha thanks! If you want to learn how to do that check out my Fireclaw hunting guide video!
This is the most comprehensive coil guide yet, wish I had since this before finishing NG+ but definitely going to make a lot of changes since I just started 'Burning Shores'. Thanks and you definitely earned a new subscriber.
Hey thanks! Glad you liked this. I appreciate your sub!
I stopped playing HFW when Elden Ring was released. I was doing everything, all side missions when available, and after like 25 hours I think I had like only 8 or 9 main missions completed, I just loved the game. I stopped playing ER a few weeks ago after completing it countless times, and I started playing other games, I had a hard time coming back to HFW after I stopped playing it for like 2 months. Watching your guides made me love the game again, thanks a lot, they are so good. You got a new subscriber!
Hey thanks Hanrahan! Glad to here you're enjoying HFW again and that I was able to help a bit with that! =) I appreciate your sub as well! 🙏
I can confirm patch 1.18 fixed "what was lost" issue with concentration damage coil. You can loot the coil after the cutscene. Thanks for the coil guide and I appreciate your channel!
Oh no way! I haven’t been able to check that yet. Thanks for letting me know!
Dunno if i sold a bow with the coil. Or i didnt loot it yet

I rarely comment on videos but this will be an exception... because seriously my man this video was so helpful!!! you can't even imagine, it made me realize what coils I should have focused on for example the hunter bow I don't use it for tear damage but as we can see it's the best use we can give it.

Awesome! Glad you found this helpful 😄
Very cool vid! Love that you actually took the time and energy to make a whole ass spreadsheet. Thats dedication. You got yourself a new sub!

@@ArktixOfficial yes it is!! Korra's inner demon when she was going through it 👌👌
Cool! Yeah I thought that’s what it looked like 😄
I think back to how I played Zero Dawn. In the end game I had the bow with the best tear damage purely set up for tear. Then switched to a different bow for using elemental attacks or big damage. I am so excited to play Forbidden West. I was never able to get a ps5 so I have been hard pressed to wait for it on PC. Where as I played ZD on the PS4. But gosh those load times! Thank you for not imbedding tons of spoilers in your videos!
Great video Artik and thanks for responding on reddit. Here are my own tips:
1. Coiling your hunter bow with 5 knockdown damage coils gives a 100% boost to every damage/stat type to that hunter bow. For instance, I tested this on Ultra Hard on an Apex SlaughterSpine. It took 5 shots to drench it with 5 PurgeWater coils and only 3 shots to drench it with 5 knockdown damage coils. This synergizes with knockdown shot, especially since machines are hyper-aggressive on Ultra Hard.
2. Coil your Sun Scourge with 5 overdraw coils. You still get the exact same boost as 5 freeze coils...but you also get the same elements build up boost to fire and acid. Throw in sliding/jumping while shooting and you bump your elemental build up for this bow, on all stats, by 125%. This setup will inflict elemental in just 1 or, at most 2 shots.
3. Coil the death seeker for pure shock buildup to take advantage of PurgeWater on Ultrahard.
4. Coil the Carja Bane with melee follow up for a 140% boost to damage. That melee follow-up boost only lasts about 9 seconds, but this is still quite powerful, especially if the machine is frozen.
5. Coil ForgeFall with 5 long range damage coils. That way, you have both braced shot and a high impact damage.
6. Coil the Iriv's downfall for simple tear damage with one slot reserved for component tear damage. That way, you get to tear armor off and also tear off specific components if you need to.
7. Coil Regalla's wrath with 3 25% stealth damage coils to get a 100% boost (extra 25% from overdraw potion) to strikethrough ammo for those epic headshots.
8. Coil Legacy's Reach with one long range coil and the rest for acid. Doesn't use volatile sludge so this is a great way to corrode armor off of Apex Machines.
9. Coil Elite RopeCaster for draw speed.
10. Spike thrower coils are dependent on the problem you want solved. For instance, I fully coiled my SkyKiller for aerial enemy damage to synergize with its perks and my Defiance is fully coiled for explosive damage.
11. 5 critical chance coils for Blast Forge for increases its regular damage by 100%. 5 close range coils for your BrawlBreaker synergizes with its Sustained burst, especially when using either Ranged-Master or ChainBurst.
12. Ancestor's Return: 4 Agility coils and one damage over time coil. The Final Chapter: 5 impact damage coils.
13.All mother's blessing: 5 shock Damage coils. Tinker's Pride: Damage Over Time for Stagger Beams.
Hope this helps. Guerilla made this game too bloated, but it is still a great game. Can't wait for VRR and then DLC.
Why do the overdraw coils increase elemental buildup on Sun Scourge? Wasn't aware it functioned like this
Nice analysis and different perspectives. Are you grinding NG+ to get best coils of each type?
Hunter bow with 125% knockdown damage means it’s only useful when machine is knocked down. I feel like that doesn’t happen quickly or easily enough to make this situational damage all that useful? I’m playing on UH right now NG+ do you feel like machines are getting knocked down more or easier?
I like your idea of overdraw damage 15% but you have to play three games to get 6 of them. 2 each per play through. Can you substitute a concentration +15% for one of the Overdraws? You will be able to do this in second play through it so.
If Sun scourge can inflict elemental on 1-2 shots with 5 overdraw 15% and using Agility why use Legacy Landfall for acid instead of explosives or knockdown? 1-2 acid arrows from Scourge can put them into acid state a way right? It’s just as fast I would think.
This is great. Thank you for sharing your tips on coils! I will definitely follow them. It’d be helpful to have that listed on a sheet as well, categorized by tool, purely for reference as you upgrade the new weapons. Thanks!!
Th ask! Glad you found it helpful! And thanks for your suggestion on a sheet. I’ll think about making one like that!
Incredible,these guides change the whole game
Glad to hear you’ve found them helpful! 😁
YES! Loading up one of your Legendary Sharpshot bows with Sharpshot 100% Tear coils is a great option, specially on Ultra Hard where you can't use Easy Loot. It can make it REALLY easy to tear off pretty much anything in the game. I'd use whichever Sharpshot Bow you're not using as your primary damage dealing one as the one you designate just for Tear, which is probably going to be the Forgefall since Iriv's Downfall is honestly better for damage than the Forgefall.
Yeah actually this is pretty much what I have set up now. Forgefall is loaded with sharpshot tear damage. The Tears of the Land-God has good tear, but sometimes it just isn't enough!
You make great videos, thanks very informative
Thanks Aaron! I'm glad you find them helpful!
Dude, your videos are mint. Liked and subbed!
Hey thanks a lot! I really appreciate your like and sub! 😄
Thanks for inspiring me to get legendary weapons/outfits and using different types of weapons. I finished the main story and started Burning Shores with purple bows wearing the same outfit. It's been fun adding the boltblaster, drill spikes and shredder gauntlet. Just started using the low health Tenakth Vanquisher build after playing with Nora Valiant and Nora Thunder Warrior, and also picked up the new legendary ropecaster. Thank you :)
Awesome! Glad you’ve found my content helpful 😄 Nice work exploring new play styles! 👍

De todos tus videos este es el que más me ha servido,gracias ark por darte el tiempo de investigar y compartir esta info de este gran juego,saber potenciar tus armas reduce el tiempo necesario para avanzar y en mi caso eso es oro puro.
Such a helpful video thanks.
You’re very welcome! Glad you found it helpful 😄

Thank you!
Super knowledge at its best... Much appreciated I'm still a noob trying to figure this mess out 😂
Thanks! Glad you found this helpful 😄
Love yo vids very informative
Thanks! I'm glad you find them helpful. That's definitely my goal!
After seeing this video i put component tear coils on hunter bow and it is a complete game changer. Thank you
Awesome! Yeah I love those component tear coils!
I'm looking forward to this one.
Hope you liked it!
Good job, Really expect a Video test on ng+ shredder
Thanks! And ok yeah that might make a good vid!
Great and helpful video
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
The research you put in is ridiculous, man. I'm 50+ hours in and have not beat the damn game yet. Got it in February and all that. Side mission shenanigans side tracked me. I'm gonna have to finish my first run and then really experiment with all the knowledge you taught
The side missions are all done so well that I got side tracked doing them as well. Or I'll get a new piece of armor or weapon and be like okay, time to upgrade this bad boy and have to go farming for resources.
Thanks Chandasouk! Sounds like you've got plenty left to enjoy with Horizon. I hope you find these recommendations helpful!
Eternally, lol I know the feeling 😂 That’s the best part though, getting side tracked 😊
Arktix banging video as always and impressed with how quickly your channel is growing and all the positive comments you are smashing it my friend, well done and loved the video,
Thanks Football Asylum! I am always happy to see your comments 😊 But where’s the UK flag? Wait…I got it for you 🇬🇧 😎👍
@@ArktixOfficial haha can't believe I forgot but u got my back nice on Arktix 🤣😁😎🇬🇧
I gotchu! Hope Liverpool is doing well 👍😎
@@ArktixOfficial yeah it's doing great were in the final of the European Champions league in football, that's the best teams in the world my friend, thanks for asking 👍😁😎🇬🇧🎉
Awesome! If I ever start following football I will definitely check Liverpool out!
Nice video bro. Subscribed. 🙂
Hey thanks Shannon! I appreciate your sub! 😄🙏
Giving the people what they want once again. I've had a bias towards impact damage over critical chance for sharpshot...a carry-over from the HZD days. But man, I put critical chances on my sharpshot, and it has opened up a whole new world of damage dealing for me. Thanks again...
Nice Furious! Glad you liked that tip 😄
Honestly thank you
Thank you 🙇🏾♂️🔥
You're very welcome!
Amazing video
Thank you!
BEST GUIDES HANDS DOWN!!! Your channel definitely needs to be bigger!!! Just watched like 5 of your videos on HFW…love your style…very concise information 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
✌🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽
Hey thanks! Glad you’re enjoying my content and welcome to the channel 😄 Hope you’re finding my tips helpful!
Finally it’s here :D
Yes! Hope you liked it!
Damn, now come to think of it my first 2 playthrough was brute forcing everything with the hunter bow just bc I played zero dawn endgame with just frost debuff and triple notch making the hardest difficulty feel like normal
Great video i've finished the game and i am using your vids to farm and fine tune my weapons. Did you/ can you do a video on How best to Weave armor sets depending on playstyle (valors used)
Awesome! Glad you’re finding my content helpful 😄 Actually my most recent video is all about outfits and weave combos. You might find that helpful!
@@ArktixOfficial okay great will take it in.
Another banger
ive never used the bolt blaster.. and now im intrigued af😂 so much damage.
Yes! Totally give it a try. It's a great way to just melt a machine's health down!
I only use it on lower level machines as anything near your level doesn't actually take al that much damage from it. But it is fun taking out lower level stuff in one burst.
I love the videos very very helpful man the damage of the sharp shot after coiling it the way that you have it. Oh man The carja'sBane AMAZING!!!!!! And the Agility mods Cause there's no other videos on youtube of people coiling. And I said man this guy's video. I don't know. But when I actually tried the coils amazing. Amazing I don't know knowhat you know about some of these coils. Please keep up the good work if you can make a A new video with the updated coils from the the new d l c burning shores. Ps NEW SUD🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉✌️👌
Hey thanks! Glad you found this helpful 😁 I'm working on an updated guide with the new DLC coils! 👍
This is crazy. I played the game once only and I haven't gotten the 25% tear coil. And yes, I looted the machine in the seeds of the past and I never got it. I was hoping that I would find it later but that wasn't the case. Can you explain how you got it exactly?
Thank you for the awesome videos. Until this day, I still can not wrap my head about every weapon and its coils. I'm utterly overwhelmed, although I keep reading every details, but still I don't know what to do and how to make these weapons complement my fighting style. I gave up honestly. I do love everything about Horizon Forbidden West. I just don't know why I can't get it.
You're very welcome! Sorry the coils are still confusing to you. If you coil them as I show in the video you'll have a solid setup. Otherwise, when it doubt, you could always just put some impact damage coils on things to get some extra damage without making it too complicated.
Great vid!! What are you generally using for human enemies seeing as most of this footage was around machine hunting?
Thanks! And good question. I like using strikethrough precision arrows and shredders on human enemies a lot. If you’re having trouble with them, explosives work pretty well, but the ammo is expensive. Shredders also work well if you can nail them!
Awesome video man, I just started watching your channel and you have some of the best informative stuff on hfw. One thing I don't understand how did you manage to have 3 purple crit chance coils on your sharpshot bow, I can only find one from merchant in Arrowhand and your spreadsheet doesn't show more than just one. Keep up the good work 👍
Hey thanks Gedimin! I’m glad you find my videos useful 😄 Check out the second tab on my spreadsheet for the other crit chance coils. They come from quests!
@@ArktixOfficial oh right thanks, forgot about that 😅
No worries 🙂
Great info. I'm on the beginning of the game in one way. Just merge Minerva with Gaia
Thanks! I hope you enjoy the rest of the game! It really get's going after that point!
I like your tips and your builds. When I first started playing Forbidden west I built my hunter bow with tear coils. Now I do a balance sine I like playing with speed over power. I also use coils to speed up my Rope caster. I miss the old and quick way from Zero Dawn. Now that I got one fully upgraded, I'm more in tuned with it.
I haven't gotten around practicing with the Shredder. I flip out trying to catch it three times, but I am watching how other players use it, (like yourself.). I'm still trying to build all my Legendary weapons to max. It's a slow process for me due to my work schedule.
Thanks for the awesome tips.
Thanks! I’m glad you find my videos helpful 😄 Yeah I miss the ZD ropecasters a bit too, but once you know how to use them in FW by drawing just a bit first it’s not too bad. And give shredders a try at some point, they’re awesome once you get the hang of them!
@@ArktixOfficial Thanks. I do want to practice more with it and I think can get the hang of it. It took me a while to get the hang of the bolt blaster in Zero Dawn.
The electric shredders are fantastic, especially ancestors return with 25% component tear, 25% agility x2, deep concentration & an electric. With winter weave armor you can destroy everything & the goodies pop off like Christmas.
@@AshbyManson I'm more for speed. Shredders take tool long for me and not as accurate. Yes, components get torn off easily, but it takes a few more seconds to set up when. it feels like to me I'm launching several in the time frame after hitting a machine for the first time.
Plus also, the Tear Shredders uses a lot of materials. 4 shards, 3 machine muscles, 2 echo shells and 2 piercing spikes. The advanced Hunter Arrows uses 7 shards and 3 Ridge-wood. And that's on the work bench.
As for an outfit, Nora Thunder Warrior for me. +2 concentration+, +2 Deep Concentration, +2 Concentration Regen, +2 Stamina Regen, +2 Stealth Range+, +2 Heavy Weapon, and for weaves, +2 Weapon Stamina and +2 Critical Strike.
I don't like the Shredders, but I have learned how to use them just for the sake of the arena. I'm always about speed. I use power when the opponent is confused, stunned or laying on its side. On the bigger machines like the Slaughterspine, I'll freeze it and use The Blast Forge. I also do that on the Fireclaw. When it comes to tearing off components, I stick to my Hunter bow.
We all play differently than others. My dad plays this game too, and he loves the Shredder.
I think I got pretty much the coils nailed for my own end-game on SINGLE NG+ playthrough. I'm pretty much a Hunter and Sharpshot bow user mainly, and Boltblaster for certain situations, as well as Warrior Bows.
Death Seeker's Shadow: All 5 Shock Coils for the Advanced Shock arrows. Which is great to immobilize any machine that is not strong against Shock, but mainly those where you need their hard to get componentes like the Dreadwing's fangs and Tideripper's tail fin.
Tears of the Land God: All 5 Component Tear coils, this weapon is my main to tear off anything I need to, and is by far the best weapon in the game to do so. Tear Blast arrows simply don't cut it for me due to their price and sometimes "randomness"
Sun Scourge: All 5 Frost Coils... Pretty self explanatory.
Iriv's Downfall: All 5 25% damage coils of any kind, but Long Range ones would obviously be the best as it's the situation you are going to use this weapon the most. Since I only have 4 Long Range, I use the last coil as either a High-Ground, Aerial or compromise and use a 15% Concentration or Overdrawn damage coil for the situation where I can't use the 5th 25% damage coil.
Why 25% damage and not 15% critical hit chances? Because I use this bow mainly with the Powershot valor, which are extremely overpowered in terms of damage, especially with those expensive and powerful Elite Precision Arrows. Literally don't use this weapon for anything else, so its basically used when I have Valor Maxed out to take down the toughest machines (Slaughterspines, Tremortusks, Slitherfangs, Shellsnapers), and in 100% of the time all I waste are 3 to 6 arrows of the Sun Scorge to brittle the machines.
Forgefall: It's a secondary weapon where I have 5 15% Critical Hit Chance coils so I don't have to change coils every damn time on the Iriv's Downfall. Since this has 25% more damage against Aerial enemies as a perk, it's my go to weapon to take down Stormbirds and Dreadwings while not using Valor Surges and the expensive Elite arrows from the Iriv's Downfall.
Elite Ropecaster: All 3 Draw Speed coils. Pretty self explanatory as well.
Brawlbreaker: As I don't have 5 25% Close Range damage coils, but, to be honest, I really don't need all 5 to be 25%, 3 25% (I somehow didn't get one on my first playthrough or I sold it by accident, big shame here) and 2 15% are more than enough for me to do what this weapon's purpose in life is... To take down Fireclaws (apex more specifically). This I learned from your videos, and basically, rope cast the Fireclaw, use Frost Arrows from the Sunscourge and then use the Ranged Master valor surge with the Boltblaster on its back canisters.
I however can put down even the Apex Fireclaw on one single sustained burst, even on Ultra Hard :) I'll probably upload a video of myseld oing it.
Carja's Bane: As you stated, all 5 melee follow-up coils would be the best, but I was a fool to sell these coils when I thought they were useless. So I'm stuck with either all 5 15% Critical Hit chance coils, or all 5 impact damage coils. Since I find it a hassle to change the coils from the weapons everytime, I leave the 15% Crits to the Forgefall and have the Impact ones on this one.
As for freezing them first... ... The next weapon is the solution for that (close-range battle and saves your massive resources).
Rain of Sparks: All 5 Instant Brittle State coils. I have 2 of the Legendary 3% ones and 3 2% purple ones which gives me a total of 12% chance of instantly applying the brittle state with a simple light arrow, and believe it or not, its ridiculously effective and this is PERFECT for dealing with Frostclaws which are immune to Frost buildup (so the Sun Scourge is useless against it).
As soon as I put the machine in the Brittle state, I go to the Carja's Bane which is going to deal the damage. Insane combo with these 2 Warrior Bows for a close range battle and saves you tons of resources as the arrows cost basically nothing.
The reason why I went with the Brittle State coils for the Rain of Sparks instead of the Carja's Bane, despite the fact that the Rain of Sparks has more base damage, is due to the fact that the Rain of Sparks also has a chance, a fairly high one as well (8%) to negate the brittle state with a fire one, while the Carja's Bane doesn't.
If you do 4 NG+ playthrough, just equip 5 legendary 3% brittle coils for it to get a whooping 15%, but I'm not going to go through all that trouble :). For you who makes this type of content though, it should be perfect. I sometimes even use this combo of warrior bows against Shellsnappers.
And with all these, I find absolutely no reason to use any other weapon in the game. Shredders, Spikes and Blastlings can be useful for the people who like their styles. Tripcasters are useless really...
As for outfits, I mainly use 3... The Utaru, for stealth, the Tenakh Tactician, for when I want my Acid Clawstrider or any overriden Machine to do the heavy lifting for me so that I don't waste resources (or for using the Mount Damage multiplier), and the main battle one, the Nora Thunder due to its concentration and stamina perks and alongside a Low Health Ranged weave that gives me an extra 80% damage when at 50% health or lower, and this is the reason why I can put down an Apex Fireclaw with a single sustained burst from the Brawlbreaker (even the other slightly weaker legendary is also good enough, probably even better since it doesn't have the Slowed State chance perk to negate the brittle state).
Hey nice loadout! Sounds like you’ve got things set up really solid! Sorry to hear you lost your melee follow up coils, but it’s not too big of a deal. You’ve got everything else cooked very nicely!
you've changed my game doing more damage and I was sleeping on the bolt blaster
Awesome! I'm glad you found this helpful!
I wish i had watched this sooner!
I hope it was helpful!
Hey Arktix, can you do a deepdive video on the arena? Thank you for the excellent content! It's been extremely helpful.
Hmm interesting idea. Yeah I can add that to my list! Might have to be a series for the different challenges...I'll think about it. Glad you're enjoying my videos! And thanks for the suggestion!😄
Thank you for explaining that agility damage increase every type of dmg, not only impact! I also recommend you to try out the tenakth vanquisher armor. You need to get below 176 health because you getying 70% dmg reduction, so you have now 600 health that regenerates every four seconds. Now you are pretty much unkillable you also get an insane 80% dmg increase for every weapon and 100% melee dmg. Thats way too powerful, its like you are using a valor surge every time. Sadly this boost doesn't work with explosive dmg. Also you said that the sun scourge is basically only for freeze and thats true. But if you play on ultra hard you are needing a lot of those ice arrows which are quite pricey, so i reccomend to use a warrior bow or a boltblaster with 5 instant brittle chance. With this setup you are going to freeze a machine super fast in a very cheap way while also dealing dmg. Last question can you start a lot of new game plus to farm coils like crit hit chances? I like the way that you use to explain, its very professional. Keep up the good work man!
Thanks Marco! Glad I could explain the agility coils! I’ve actually tried the low health build as well! It is indeed super strong! I don’t run it on the daily, but it’s a cool build for sure. That’s a good tip on using instants of a boltblaster or warrior bow for UH too! I’ll have to give that a try. And yes, you can indeed farm coils by doing multiple NG+ playthroughs! Many people are doing that right now. If you haven’t seen my coils & weaves video you should check that out for my spreadsheet chowing where to get all the coils you want!
If you use Overshield you have an additional 400 HP and keep the Low Health Defense bonus. IMO this is the best armor in the game and very powerful.
I have been running this low health build and man I missed a lot on my play through. I kinda ruined the end game myself by viewing online playthroughs and I stopped at last quest. Been watching this channel all week and now I can't believe I have maxed out all legendary weapons lol ! Can't wait to start my NG+. Arktix please consider this build in your video, and thanks again for responding every where. You are awesome man !
I never paid much mind to Shredder Gauntlets before now, but with how much the enemies become damage sponges on Ultra Hard I am rethinking my stance on these. My regular old Hunter Arrows are no longer cutting it. Shredder Gauntlets seems like a great alternative for cheap reusable ammo for fighting some of the lesser machines. I dunno if I'd want to use it when fighting a large group of them, but in some situations I can see them being very useful, and being able to deal damage AND build up Shock seems incredibly useful. I can see why you'd love that combination :)
Yes! Take a look at my shredder master class video if you haven't already. The Ancestor's Return really is awesome even on UH. You're right though that trying to use them on a group of 3-4+ machines isn't great though. Much better for a single big machine.
Boltblasters are the one thing I feel that you got kind of wrong. I feel Long Range or Close Range coils are far far more powerful than Impact Damage coils as you REALLY want to ramp up the raw damage as high as you can when using Sustained Burst, since it's likely going to be your main giant killer. Being able to use all 25% damage boost coils vs just 12% makes a BIG difference in the total damage each shot will do.
Close Range works fine but roping the enemy down becomes a prerequisite with that build, otherwise yeah you will get trampled nearly every time lol. Long Range coils mean you won't necessarily have to do that, but since Long Range coils are in such demand by other weapons it may be hard to give them to your Boltblaster. Not only that but the Boltblaster's max range isn't that much further than 30 Meters anyway so you may find yourself completely whiffing at times when trying to achieve distance.
Since Close Range coils don't have near as much demand for use I find them to be PERFECT for Boltblasters, since if you rope the enemy first you are in zero danger by being up close with the Boltblaster. Not only that but it gives you the time and proximity to aim it EXACTLY where you want, like at a weak point!
Yeah I agree close range are definitely optimal for a boltblaster. I guess I should have made that more clear in the video. I recommended impact first because I know a lot of people are going to struggle to get a bunch of close range coils and probably don't have the skills to get closer than 10m to a big machine without taking a bunch of damage. Probably should have featured the close range coils a bit more though. I run all close range +25% on mine now that I have enough coils from NG+
@@ArktixOfficial I suppose. I mean if ya freeze em first & then rope em down while they are stunned from being frozen then there's no risk.
You the real mvp
Haha thanks!
For the Boltblaster, if you don’t have enough impact damage coil the closed range damage coil works too.
Thanks for all your content on Forbidden West! Might be a dumb question, but how did you get all of the 15% critical hit chance coils? 1 from the hunter in Arrowhand and the rest from farming? Because it's saying sold out after I bought one and I was thinking that I could buy all that I wanted there. Thanks
Ah yeah so the there's a total of 3 per playthrough. 1 is in Arrowhead and the other two come from quests. You can find the quest ones on the second tab of my spreadsheet linked below. Hope that helps! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RuAA0kNDHoCfob92Q_X9cDg5bNkHgw3dFGj9K4FAQXo/edit#gid=0
How do you o it have 6.6k subscribers??? Your videos are legit. Liked and subbed
Hey thanks Ryan! My channel is pretty new, but growing =D I appreciate your like and sub!
Thanks!
Hey Red Bull! Thanks a lot for the Super Thanks! 😄 I really appreciate it! 🤜🤛🙏

I'm still Playing HFW
Component Tear on Hunter Bow (Death Seeker) is totally underrated tip !
Yeah I love component tear coils! I think a lot of people still use their hunter bow like an impact damage weapon, but they’re really speced for tear.
Thank you
You’re very welcome!
Nice video. I applied your sharpshot setup to my bow as well and it works like a charm. Thank you!
And yes I am the badass to use close range coils on my boltblaster (#proudbutneedsaropecasteratALLtimes)
You forgot to mention that 15% concentration damage coils now exist. I know it is mentioned in your spreadsheet, but I thought it would be good to say it here as well.
I now have a different opinion about how to coil a Ascenders Return now that 15% conc. coils exists. I'll be going to transition to Concentration after I've done a few NG+(+++...) playthroughs. I want to do this because agility damage boost isn't applied to mounted combat, while concentration is.
So it will probably be full agility for me and slowly switching each coil to concentration every single time I get a new one and stopping when I have only one agility coil left.
The new game+ shredder holds no elemental shredders, so Agility, concentration and Damage Over Time coils work best on the weapon. You can get only 1x 15% concentration damage coil every playthrough, so if you want more then you'll have to play a few NG+ playthroughs.
So agility is more often the easier choice
Thanks Phos! And yes...I did kind of forget about those 15% concentration coils lol. To be perfectly honest, I had already recorded all the audio for this video when that was brought up over on Discord and I really didn't want to edit my script and record more audio lol 😅 But I agree 15% concentration would be more versatile and easier to use than 15% agility. I wish there was at least 1 for sale somewhere though, even if it was the most expensive coil in the game lol.
Where do you get the 15% concentration damage coil?
@@joemoe1560The Scorcher from the side quest 'What was lost'. You need to loot it before the cutscene starts, because it is bugged and you can't loot it after the cutscene
@@sembohle265 Thanks I'll have to check if I got it then.
I really like throwing a couple Agility 15% Coils on my Sun Scourge too, so that the Acid arrows can also be effective when I might need them. As long as I'm using Agility, it will increase both Frost AND Acid by the same amount that a Frost 15% could would have for just Frost. I always use Agility when firing off my Sun Scourge anyway, since a single volley can freeze just about anything in the game, so it's no bigs at all to throw a couple Agility coils on there.
Yes! Good point. Agility coils are great for boosting multiple damage types. Another option would be if you could manage to get your hands on a few copies of the elusive +15% concentration coil, but it's bugged and really hard to get. Plus there's only 1 per playthrough.
@@ArktixOfficial Lol yeah that ain't happening. Missed it on my 1st playthru & am probably good for one UH playthru til the DLC comes out.
Your knockdown drill spike recommendation was nice for farming fireclaws in the endgame. It's so easy to destroy the component you're farming when fighting them, throwing drill spikes into their feet and then unloading with a boltblaster when they're down was a pretty solid strategy. All while brittle of course.
Nice! Yeah I use the drill spike knockdown trick a lot 😄 Glad you found it helpful!
Great content as always, will be trying out these setups for sure. BTW i finished the main story on my NG+ ultra hard mode, but how do i change the difficulty settings now, as i want to farm resources to upgrade some of my gear. It'd be great if anyone could help
Amazing guide! Do sharpshot 100% tear coils translate into more damage when hitting components? If so, isn't stacking it against machines the best option?
Thanks! Unfortunately, no. The Sharpshot tear 100% coils just boost the tear damage, so it’s just easier to remove components. The removal damage dealt when a component gets torn off remains the same.
Due to the Draw, Reload and Crit Chance buffs on the Blast Forge, I think it is absolutely perfect for a Crit build when just using the normal shot for it or the Spread Blast technique. Boltblasters get that sweet 10% innate Crit chance & 2x damage boost so it's absolutely worth using for that :) Thus considering the Blast Forge already has a 25% chance to Crit, this is one of those examples where you really only need a single Crit Chance 15% coil on it. That brings the Crit chance up to 95% with the Crit Valor Surge :)
The new Brawlbreaker is much better suited for Sustained Burst usage due to not having the buffs those draw/reload buffs that drastically help w regular shots. & Sustained Burst can't Crit, so you might as well use it with the one that doesn't have a Crit Chance buff :) The Concentration buff is also fantastic for Sustained Burst as it gives it a nice extra 20% boost.
Yeah good point. The Blast Forge is definitely better for a writ build!
my fave coils are the legendary elemental coils that have a small instant chance..paired with the Hunter Bow..just pelt the machine with normal arrows till they are instantly burning or frozen.
Interesting, makes me reconsider my builds, thx for that. Question on the boldblaster, how do you know critical hit is not working with sustained burst?
No problem! I hope it was helpful. And good question. I know because I’ve tested it extensively and I use Sustained Burst all the time. Never once have I seen a crit while doing it. A bunch of people that help me do research over on my Discord server have confirmed this as well.
@@ArktixOfficial thanks for taking the time answering! Although I sometimes use normal fire rate when out of stamina, another coil might be better then
No problem!
Your voice sounds really good
Lol thank you! Some other people have said that as well. I guess it must be true 🤷🏻♂️
I personally use the "Instant elemental status coils on the boltblaster with it's two rapid firing techniques. Brittle and acid.
Nice! Yeah I generally don't like the instant coils, but they can be nice on boltblasters with the high fire rate!
