Skills & weapons to survive 'Horizon Zero Dawn'
Polygon claims that gamers are vulnerable to distractions as "Horizon Zero Dawn" showcases a variety of side quests and a lot of shiny items. Per the same source, there are three categories of skills in Horizon Zero Dawn such as Prowler, Brave, and Forager. Basically, Prowler skills are the sneaky ones while Brave skills are for destruction. Consequently, Forager skills are best used for finding mysterious things.
The first seven skills in "Horizon Zero Dawn" should be Silent Strike, Concentration, Critical Hit, Lure Call, Herbalist, Healer, and Gatherer. Silent Strike lets players attack from a cover; Concentration permits precise shots; Critical hit allows gamers to deal extra damage; Lure Call gets the attention of one target in a pack. On the other hand, Herbalist doubles the capacity of the medicine pouch; Gatherer squeezes more resources from trees and flowers; Healer speeds up transfer from medicine pouch to the health bar.
The weapons one can get in "Horizon Zero Dawn" are the Spear, Hunting bow, War bow, and a Sharpshot bow. Tripcaster, Ropecaster, Rattler, and Sling are also available. For beginners, the Ropecaster is the best choice.
