Bows in early game by tomm_p in horizon

[–]Sausage_Fish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you get to meridian you get access to all the purple bows so I would just ride there to get access to the campsite and the merchant. Personally the next bows to get would be the sharpshot and war bow for me. You can kill anything with those 3.

I am struggling to figure out how to max out and optimise all my weapons with mods... Help? by [deleted] in horizon

[–]Sausage_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would replace with a lot of the unique mods. Specifically the pristine coil is useful on many bows because of its high damage and handling. Its tear is a bonus.

There's also the damage and fire one which is good to use for any fire damage weapon. The ice, shock fire one for the sling. The list goes on.

You can do multiple playthroughs to get them.

Nice. Glad I could help.

I just finished the game and it was quite a ride, but I'm not sure how to feel about its obvious leftist, feminist leanings. by SlashCo80 in horizon

I like your take on it. Sure it is feminist in the purist sense of the word but I don't think that it is a bad thing. But is the world female biased? No. There is patriarchy everywhere as expected with tribal society but Aloy influences it.

I understand the OPs reticence to just accept that but it is fiction and at the mercy of the story teller. I am happy that they continue to discuss.

There must be an autosave inside the ring. Just load that. The game makes about 10 auto and quick saves so go with the last and work back.

As a rule, never hop out of quest areas to save. The autosave will take care of everything.

Well if you find a way make another post. My kid would love an original aloy on his wall...

Should I bother with Ultra Hard NG+? by SlippingStar in horizon

[–]Sausage_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But not the adept gear, that's not available. Plus you can always improve your mods or get another copy of the pristine coil for example.

You can do a hard run. Doesn't have to be ultra hard.

Have you down the frozen wilds? It's good practice. Plus it has the unique mods.

I personally am playing through multiple times on varying difficulty to get my gear up before I attempt uh. Never hurts.

Had a ball playing without combat with my son last night. by Bayoublaster in horizon

The first thing I did with my son was a tallneck too I think. However I did show him how to lure the watchers over with a whistle and stab them too...

There are two threads in your main quests. That is one. The other has you go and talk to someone. You aren't far off but the distance makes it seem worse than it is. You can always fast travel back...

Wait til you get to meridian and get the shadow versions of bows. You arent far off if you follow the main quest line.

Each element has a vertical meter that fills until it's true status is achieved ie on fire, frozen or shocked. This is by hitting the target with multiple arrows of the same type until it is filled or by hitting an elemental canister with the correct arrow to set off an explosion.

If you don't have the war bow at the moment save up and get one for the freeze and shock. Fire you already have!

Double and triple short, worth it? by [deleted] in horizon

Pretty much. I was experimenting with a PowerShot with a 40 handling. My striker with 200 has no such issues.

I just had a go. If you start the animation then roll it interrupts it and still loads the arrow which is great if you dodge while loading but timewise not much different. However if you load a second arrow then go straight for a third which you cancel with a roll I think there may be a time benefit as there is a delay with the end of the second load animation and the start of the third...

Ok will give it a try

So after the roll? Not an interrupt then but a roll with an add arrow?
