It's so overpowered that it would be broken if it could be obtained earlier anyway (however, I think stealth armor+mods is just as overpowered in its own way)

This is also he fastest way to farm shards in the game that I know of. A full stack is worth 200 shards, and you can easily get that in a few minutes. then just restart the trial, and repeat. You could pretty much farm enough up to pay for all the weapons/armor in the game in a short time.
Oops sorry. I meant upgrade from green > blue > purple. Plus you can mod them.
Oh whew lol

Been playing for a while now. Great game! Can't wait to see what they do with the sequel.
Unfortunately there's no reason to ever grind shards. I'm sitting on almost 30k about to finish the game.
Is that the mission at
Maker's Mark
Faro facility and meeting Lance Reddick.
I'd buy the Shadow Hunter bow ASAP and the other ones you actually use if you have the shards.
Yeah, they give you 3 different ammo types to choose from and in the Ropecaster's case it is the strongest for tying beasties down.

Is the Shadow war bow a good replacement for the Shadow hunter bow?
100%. Get as many as you can afford. Especially if you havent unlocked the Tinker Skill.
Prioritize the Shadowhunter bow, Ropecaster and Tripcaster.
Edit: the Shadow Hunter bow and Shadow War Bow shoot different types of ammo. You will want both eventually. So either is fine to buy.
However if you can only get one and you have to choose get the shadowhunter bow.

I was running around trying to find a metal flower earlier tonight, and oh there's a Thunderjaw, I guess I can take itohwait, there's two of them. Fuuuu.... I grabbed the flower and hauled ass out of there...
...And then managed to run into a Behemoth, a Thunderjaw and one of those annoying ostrich enemies. Turned and ran without shame.
Damn. I'm really happy that I hold out on using my shards. Will definitely buy those "shadow" weapons". I think I have 1500 shards. Hopefully enough to buy 3-4 weapons on it.
Nope, warbow is only for elemental stuff (ice, bolt and corruption)
I think the leash range for machines in this game is nearly perfect. It's not super abuseable (except for Corrupted Zones, didn't feel bad cheesing the two Rockbreakers at all) and it allows them to chase you a good distance without getting too annoying.
It's a few missions after that one. If you're looking for an even bigger info dump, you're definitely going to get it.

Alright, Well then guess i'll just buy it to have both then,
This makes me happy. I think what makes the info dumps work for me is Aloy's reactions to them. Her constant
"what the fuck were the Old Ones thinking" pretty much mirrors my own but then a chill goes down my spine when I think of all the automated weaponry in our world today. Seriously, youtube some of that shit - it's terrifying and not too far off from what the game is talking about.
Well done, Guerrilla Games.
I just found out earlier that the faster shadow bow's new type of arrow is just a stronger type of arrow, thats kind weird, why would you ever use the weak ones, it even uses the same mats to make (just more)
also I still dont have a shadow sling, I have no idea where to get the thing the vendor asks, and it was the first thing I could buy too many hours ago lol

Finished RHO Cauldron...Ravagers ain't even that hard...with planning. Loved the finale of that cauldron. They gave me a Snapmaw and Ravager to deal with and I just booby trapped most of the damn gated area. Fucking Ravager rolled into 2 blast traps before he could even get at me and lost half his health, then it gave chase and then rolled into two more blast traps and got put to the floor and I criticaled him then when it got back up I just lit his ass on fire. Then the Snapmaw...well it has more health, but it wasn't too hard. Sigma Cauldron was harder. Pretty much when you start looking at the weak points and change weapons on the fly you stand a good ass chance of winning. I was going to share my fight here but I don't think my video got uploaded to facebook, tried Youtube, but that shit was just acting weird and wouldn't allow me to sign in on my PS4.

That's what I figured. That's usually the case with these things. When I finally get the last you-know-what I'll be pretty set with high powered offensive and defensive mods anyway.

Man I wish it was easier to spot data logs
A lot of it comes from the collectables/hunter trials, but I also sell any extra stuff because my pouch is constantly filling up. I really wish there had been an infinite resource pouch upgrade.

Usually on top of a cliff nearby. Search for a loot box on your focus and it should be right next to it.

Storm Bird is great. I think the Rockbreaker might be my favorite though. I also really like the Stalkers.
LastMinuteHero

Only when you're really right behind it but they're usually accompanied by a supply box that takes a bit to load through your focus. I always check high places in general
You have to be pretty close for them to show up on Focus. They're actually kinda tricky to find even with a map since the map doesn't always point to their exact location.
design wise? Tallneck

I love the hermit crabs (their name escapes me at the moment). Just a really inspired, out of leftfield design. If there's a sequel I hope they incorporate more designs like that, rather than just lots more of 'here's a robo version of a natural predator'.

Red letter media - previously recorded talking HZD. Watching now. Their name suggestions are terrible.
Rich likes it, it seems. (gets somewhat spoilerific with locations).
They spoil a bit of stuff. SO.. don't watch it til you're past the proving at the very least and hit your first cauldron
um, its a very spoilery review. best for when you're done. But they like it
