But they do. bandits fight other machines all the time.
Some times if you are followed by robots, peaceful NPCs will help
hell there are parts in the game where there are fixed battles between NPC and robots and no matter how many times you reload it will be there.

I was loving it at the high difficulty setting but now that the game is getting harder, I'm starting to find the crafting stuff annoying. I might bring it down to normal. I do love the challenge of fighting the bigger enemies on hard though. Just hate having to replenish healing resources, which means either farming live animals for meat or buying potions which are very costly and add up.

Ropecaster...
Also, shoot the missiles off from its side and use them against it.

It must be that 5/10 review score that's driving everyone crazy.

Yeah I accidentally led a pack of Glinthawks into a friendly camp once and it was absolute mayhem. Pretty awesome to get into a huge battle like that though.
I don't think the game is a perfect 10 by any means but a 5 is pretty ludicrous. Something must have really gone wrong for that reviewer lol

Saw a bunch of dudes fighting a thunderjaw and went to help out.
I got cocky and the helicopter laser thing he shits out totally annihilated me.
Two things I want GG to patch in:
1) Option to hide your helmet
2) Ability to do your tutorial and other quests at the same. Right now you can only complete a tutorial mission if you set it as an active quest

Ropecaster to tie him down. Then when it drops a weapon (disc launcher) use it against him on his side body shooting its vital part.
Put alot of violet handling mods on your Ropecaster.

so how come Horizon's review topic got locked when the OT went up. LOZ's is still going. I thought it was forum policy at the time but guess not?

Just to make sure; the shadow ropecaster makes it so that you'll use less ammo to tie down a machine right?

Are the preorder costumes et al. usable from the get-go, or are they level/vendor-locked?
Cheers, y'all.

Just beat the game, playing as I normally would, and I'm only one achievement short of the platinum (damn those training dummies). Seems like a really reasonable platinum to get.
At the very end of the game, like just after that final scene with
, my game crashed. I didn't miss anything I assume?

Use tear arrows to knock off the disc launcher and use it against the Thunderjaws.
Trust me. I'm a PhD

I think you get a token you cash in at any merchant, so not right when you start, but fairly soon after you do.

dunno. Make the weapons quicker to use + more accurate???

Try to see if they are available as treasure boxes at any merchant first, they should be free if so
Please note if you think the game is too easy and depending on what DLC you have:
2 Pieces of Deluxe Edition DLC gear, the Carja Mighty Bow and Carja Storm Ranger Outfit, are currently performing far better that their stats suggest they should be. The blue tier Carja Bow out-damages its purple equivalent, the Shadow Hunter Bow, by a large margin (nearly double), even though the SHB can equip 3 purple damage mods. The Blue Carja outfit, takes 10% of the damage that the highest defense purple outfit you can obtain, even when that outfit is stacked with defensive mods. Were talking hits that would do 40 damage instead doing 4 damage. This is likely unintended and may be patched out in the future, but worth noting.
I don't know if this is the only effect but it reduces reload times.
Thanks. They really need to explain those. Maybe in the notebook in the next update.
lol same. Well I use tripcasters, but only when I have time to put them before a fight, mid fight I have a hard time lol But regular item traps I never use them, same as that kind of grenade launcher thingy.
I'm mainly ropecaster and bows. I do a lot of kitting while firing and I'm doing good so far (rolling is soo useful). But I dunno what will happens with bigger enemies like the Thunderjaw lol
Not really. You get less herb reserves while gathering them, but it's not really a problem because there's a lot of herbs (in Normal you're basically full quickly). Rest of materials (food, wook, enemy drops) drops the same numbers.
I do use Tearblast Arrow for armor stripping duty. But due to my excessive use of it for Lancehorn hunting, I just found out that I have limited quantity of the echo generator (or whatever it's called) and I haven't meet any mecha that drop them (turned out some of the stocks I got are from reward boxes). So I figure out that I should use heavy melee for armor stripping to save up Tearblast Arrow until I can farm its component. It doesn't meet to my expectation as you can see.
Merchants do sell them at affordable price (there isn't much use for metal shard at my point of the game) but I reckon it'll better I push the game to Thunderjaw before I start hunting mechas for sport.
It's already listed in the game. The explanation is shown when you're hovering over weapons/armor in the

What is the best way to post images from PS4? This game is a looker.

The later vendors sell it
Longlegs and stalkers drop them. Why are you using them on Lance horns by the way? If you want their chilling water then just stealth kill them. You get them either way.

Ok, thanks.
You will need a fox skin btw.
YES!! this shit pissed me off so much. Sometimes I accidentally do the tutorial challenge but it doesnt count because I didn't have it active. Urghh...

Man I'm a huge animal lover, i always go out of my way to get any bugs out of my house safely.
But why do I find it so satisfying shooting a Boar with a fire arrow and just watching it die?
P.S that question is not rhetorical lol

The more you advance the less of an issue that will be
Plus you will have much more fun ways of doing it

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Once you reach the main city
Sellers have it at the bottom of the Resource Tab
It will be Purple and Very Rare, it will eat up 1 slot in resources
Unlimited Fast travel
You need some Metal Shards
Boar Skin + Rabbit Skin + Fox Skin
Boat will bed easiest, rabbit a little tough, fox Godspeed
Also have every animal bone and skin type in your resource bag until you get all weapons
TRUST ME ON THIS!
Don't sell the bones or skins!
Have a stack of each, it will under your resource in take, but will save you farming headaches down the line
Boar, Turkey, Fox, Raccoon, Goose, Rat, Fish
That is how I'm ranking them on getting their Skins
Bones will always be Green loot from Animal kills
Blue signifies Skin or trolls you with material to sell to merchant for 20 shards like Talisman, Head, Tail
Aim for the disc launcher on their shoulder and then when it's removed, use it. Massive damage.

Is there a way to skip the daytime in this game? Pisses me off that I constantly have to walk in the dark or with shitty weather when this game is so beautiful at normal daytime.
Uh, the game is beautiful at any time or weather condition.
