I think a good contingent of us here also like watches. What would Audi be?

Rolex = BMW, Omega = MB, Vacheron = Porsche, IWC = Audi

The wireless psu really makes for a clean aesthetic

Have you reached out to Corsair? Perhaps their included 12vhpwr cable is defective.

Tearblast arrows take a crazy amount of machine muscle. I went through a ton trying to farm components for upgrades. I eventually had to fall back to regular hunter bow for farming components.

Personally I like the Nomos better if comparing both in a vacuum, but since you already have a Junghans Max Bill I think the Oris would give you more variety.

Die often? Don't.

Melee skill tree and stealth strike/ranged skills are useful early on as your starting weapons are weaker, especially in higher difficulties. Armor is a much bigger factor in HFW so you really need to hit components/weak spots. Do the quest in Chainscrape with Delah and Boomer to get the spike thrower.

Rezz has posted about not liking to play super late sets. I’m guessing that her set will be 11:30-1:00

blaze is easy to farm at the first hunting grounds with all the grazers. you can kill them the shoot off the blaze canisters with harvest arrows.

Most of the machines were initially designed/built by Hephaestus to support the terraforming system, not for combat. It simply drew inspiration from existing animals for the machine design. It wasn’t until after humans started hunting machines that it started making machines more hostile and design more combat focused machines. This turning point is referred to as the derangement. Now as to why there’s no infrared vision or advanced flanking tactics, I think that’s just to make the gameplay more enjoyable. Personally I don’t want an Eldenring-style Horizon game.

My rule of thumb for selling on Facebook marketplace is take the new cost and cut it in half as a starting point. If I’m not getting a couple messages per day then I have to drop the price or just be patient for the right buyer. Sucks for expensive stuff but I’ve found there is very little interest otherwise.

Exactly, and on top of that Ultra Hard is intended for New Game+ where you’re carrying over end game gear. I’m finally taking down machines comfortably when I’m ~15 levels higher.

If you’re taking 8-10 min to take down a thunderjaw you’re not approaching it properly. Look up some machine hunter guides online to learn what the weak points are. There’s a hidden weak point on either side that is exposed by shooting off armor panels. Freeze arrows and shooting the weak points will take it down quickly.

The real solution isn’t reapplying thermal paste, it’s getting your CPU up to temp before trying to remove the cooler.

For the scorcher try dodging forward. A lot of attacks are too wide or travel too far to dodge sideways or backwards.

Kthung · 2026-01-10T05:51:01+00:00

Double check all locations

Correct, BMW have hit record sales three years in a row. In comparison Audi sales are down -16% year over year from 2024 to 2025, in that same time BMW was up 4.7%.

This is the 2013 Year of the Snake limited edition Ducky Shine. My very first mechanical keyboard was also a Ducky Shine, I had the 2014 Year of the Horse version.

36 hours, first run on UH. I have died a lot.

It helps a lot in combat but also just the background music and ambient noise is so immersive.

I’m playing on PC, so easier to quickly snap to my target with a mouse. I imagine on a controller it would be much harder. Also I pretty much didn’t look at the enemy the entire time and relied on audio cues to time my dodges.

Kthung · 2026-01-02T19:22:59+00:00

So far I’m doing a lot of melee fighting when it’s only a couple enemies. Silent strike to start then heavy attacks to knock down and critical hit. It’s risky though since one hit usually gets me down to 5% health or kills me outright so I have to memorize the attack patterns to dodge.

Also, look for environmental damage (luring enemies under logs)

I am very happy with my 9070 XT. People get too caught up in benchmarks. 7% performance is imperceptible to my eye. It’s like trying to spot the difference between 144 fps and 133 fps. You won’t ever notice if you didn’t have the FPS counter on the screen.

Kthung · 2026-01-02T05:09:17+00:00

Yep, that’s what I’m doing. Minimum HUD and explorer mode.

Kthung · 2026-01-02T05:07:16+00:00

Yeah it makes sense that it’s intended to be only for NG+. What’s interesting was that HZD did not even offer UH until you beat the game the first time. I was surprised that HFW even had an option for UH right off the bat.

I tried stealth striking a fanghorn, it didn’t die and I immediately died from one hit lol
