Thanks Arktix, and everyone in the community. Been with you (NOT stalking, mostly) since you only had a thousand subs, so it's great to see you getting the credit you deserve for your videos. I love that you are a credit to the community and its members, you're very humble and that's wonderful. Ok some questions, does difficulty ever affect purple drops? I've been hitting those twin thunderjaws northeast of the central Tallneck. I can't get everything I want, and due to being ill, I tend to just patient-ly put on some music and kill those 'jaws. Rinse repeat. I'll have to try these with the behemoths and see what happens! Do we know if different mods drop from things like jaws, stormbirds and behemoths? Thanks again as always my friend, and everyone here! I *LOVE* Zero Dawn, the story and environments are precious to me for these (gosh near ten years now). I love Forbidden West, but getting a remaster of this game is a surprisingly happy unexpected event, just took a bit of getting used to again. I hope to one day make a cartoon of Aloy coming out of her home to go meet Rost for the first time, jumping near that first waterfall, engaging her Shield-wi---------------------
Thanks Wren! I really appreciate your support all this time 🙏😄 And glad you're enjoying the remaster! Sorry to hear you've been sick though. Hope you start feeling better soon. I haven't seen any evidence that difficulty affects purple drop stats or rates or that different machines tend to drop certain coils more than others. It can be very very difficult to get perfect/maxed spec-ed mods though. Not sure if you're on the Discord server, but my friend Aaaarg knows a lot about the details with mod drops if you wanted to ask more about it. I'd like to see that cartoon someday! 😄
Thanks to you I was able to get the shield weaver armor when I was level 18. And now an infinite amount of shards and weapon coils? Thank you for all your videos brother 🙏🏾
Looking to max out my equipment for my own recordings so this video is a great help! Never really went in the grind when I first got Horizon but now I'm fully into the Grind for HFW and now HZD! Thanks Arktix
The Hammer and Steel option might be the most efficient. You can get 6 purple mods every 60 seconds. I included time to select mods as you loot each Behemoth, in case you don't want to scoop them all. Also check the colour of the loot diamonds over the Shellwalkers, as you can get purple mods there sometimes. Another bonus is that you keep clobbering livestock with your mount as you ride to and from the farm. Free and easy pick-ups of Turkey, Fox, Boar, Rat and even Goose [edit] and Rabbit and Racoon. [I just collected my first 15% stealth weave while testing and typing - thanks Arktix and co]
You’re the boss. Definitely gonna help my UH play thru. I’ll get some purple coils for my blue weapons and green armor because everything so expensive. Lol.
Thanks for another awesome video ArkTix. Zero Dawn looks GORGEOUS on the ps5 pro especially on an OLED screen. Seriously, it often feels like playing a CGI movie.
Nice video, man, thank you! Speaking of mods is there a plan to revisit a "best mods for gear type" kind of video? You cover some info on coils and weaves in the Essential Tips video, but I was wondering about a more detailed version by weapon type or outfit type. I tried to look through your earlier HZD videos, but YT's search function within a channel is quirky and keeps showing me HFW videos and it's hard to untangle between the two. Maybe it has something to do with age of the videos as well.
Very helpful video and it's great that it's (10 hours ago) recent! Unfortunately it's very much not in the beginning friendly. You see I am doing something of a challenge, playing the Frozen Wilds DLC as soon as I can (Around level 8) and I really don't have any of these tips convenient for me. What would be great to see is a Frozen Wilds beginner guide!
Note that the Hammer and Steel exploit will work even if you do the quest *with* the two young hunters. After you have killed all the machines with the hunters, they’ll stand off to the side while you gather the cables for the sidequest. Just do *not* talk to them, and of course, do not give the cables to Petra. The exploit works the same after that, and will remain there basically forever, as long as you don’t talk to the young hunters or give the cables to Petra. I’ve done this many times across PS4, PS4 Pro, PC, and PS5. Admittedly, I haven’t yet reached the Hammer and Steel mission in the remastered version.
Yup I believe that’s right. I just didn’t want to present it that way because I know people would accidentally talk to them and then the repeat looting wouldn’t work. Safer to tell people to choose the “hunt alone” option 🙂
@ Yeah, it is really easy to mess it up. Still, for people who have never played before, once they’ve finished the rest of the game and are fully and truly done with the exploit and go to close out the sidequest, they will miss some delightful dialogue between the two young hunters if they haven’t hunted with them. :-)
Haha yeah they’re pretty good! And no problem 👍 I’ve already got the Forbidden West one actually. Not sure if you’ve seen this: ua-cam.com/video/amuQKSYahlk/v-deo.html
Excellent tips to pick up some nice coils Arktix. I keep hoping to come across a 70% handling coil if it even exists. I have 65 & 64 % handling coils which I’m pleased with, but 70%. Ah, I’m just being a little greedy. I should be happy with what I have. Take care mate!
I know that I don't need lenses and hearts from Corruptors and Deathbringers, but I like to keep them as a souvenir 😅. Thanks for the tips again - I knew of the 3 Behemoths, but not the other options to get free purple coils.👍
From memory the healer thunder jaw quest if you do have a heart on you drop it before talking to the healer to start the hunt?The Behemoth cable quest. For a change of scenery when you get bored. go do any quest just don't go to Petra and finish the cable quest. If you persevere it can chuck up level 14 & 15 stealth. BUT! it is freaking tedious.
Thr Hammer and Steal I love this one and leave it to come back every once in awhile to get more mods hoping to get better. I'll clear my mod Inventory unless I have the Frozen Wilds in my inventory.
For the potion duplicateing if you hold aim with any weapon while picking up stuff you can pick it up a lot quicker and the fastest way to make shards from that is by only duplicateing and selling all traps and the full health potion
Oh hold aim while picking stuff up. Good tip! And yeah the traps and full health potions are the highest value. I had a text note about that in the video, but I probably should have mentioned it.
Great, clear vid as usual. Excellent tutorial. I have a query, don't know if it's too arcane: I'm aiming for a playthrough on UH with the best gear and coils I can farm through multiple playthroughs on easier levels (did my first 2 on very hard, now want to save time). My questions are: 1. What are the least missions I have to do to get to the next New Game+ (having collected the best weapons and each runthrough collecting the special mods)? 2. How many each of those special coils do I collect before it serves no purpose collecting any more - how few times can I complete the Banuk quests to earn them before it won't make any difference to maxing out weapons/outfits? A video tutorial on the most efficient way to max out your gear on multiple runthroughs would be brilliant for me, but any answer here would be greatly appreciated.
Found a partial answer to my query at "Fast Unique Mod Tutorial - Horizon Zero Dawn" on youtube. I've figured that unless you want multiple weapons to cover every contingency, 3 X special mods is enough, and 4 X will give you all the oomph you can get. By then, if you've farmed for purple mods, you should have all you need to max out the weapons, assuming you have one of each and are swapping out elemental coils to max out each element.
Yo Arktix, I hope you are good man. Quick technical question please. It is about the rope caster in Zero Dawn. You said that adding TEAR coils will make any ropes attached to machine components TEAR off the component when the binding status ends. My question is, are you certain, truly certain that the TEAR added to the ropecaster does not reduce the tie down time of binding?
Nice "tricks". I used to pay regular visits to the pair of Thunderjaws in the Glarebreak for Purple mods and other resources. (selling lenses and other parts in Meridian) If there's one thing that's almost as tricky as getting the best purple coils is finding all of the datapoints in HZD. In Forbidden West they're easier to spot through walls and other objects with the Focus. Guerilla should have added a map for those things imo. Btw, in Forbidden West, are there weapon techniques that prevent critical hits? I tested coiling Regalla's Wrath with 3 15 % critical hit chance coils and tested it on one of those Apex Fireclaws near Thornmarsh and the arrows didn't seem to be doing more than the regular amount of damage, using Ranged Master. I don't have enough skill points for the Warrior Skill tree valor surges and would rather not take skill points away from all the other trees that are almost all maxed out (Warrior and Trapper are the ones I've spent the least points) Cheers :)
But is farming shards really that useful is ZD? For example in Forbidden west you can upgrade your weapons or outfits and some of them are very expensive in shards... I remember that i had a lot of shards but when i started upgrading my best weapons and outfits i just ran out of them lol. Zero dawn doesnt have upgrade system for weapons or outfits so where would you need such an enormous amount of money :D.
Arktix, it looks like patch 1.07 got rid of the purple mods at the Scrapper site in The Embrace. They appear to be all green and blue mods now. I don't know about the other exploits you show in you video, I'm not that far along yet.
Hmm. I was just there on the most recent PC patch and there were purple. How many times did you check? They’re not always purple. Sometimes the do spawn blue or green.
@@ArktixOfficial I checked last night after the update finished...probably four times. I'll check again tonight and get back with you. I'm playing on PS5, so I don't know if that makes a difference.
@@ArktixOfficial It took about 3 more attempts to get purple, finally. By then I was so sick of running back and forth to the campfire that I didn't try it again. So yeah, it still works, but I think I'd rather go with the other methods you show.
Actually, I already have lots of videos on coils in Forbidden West. I assume you're looking for an easy way to farm them like in this video? If so, here you go: ua-cam.com/video/amuQKSYahlk/v-deo.html

@@ArktixOfficial Anytime friend 😄
Wish we could see if a mod has a secondary and tertiary effect before we pick it up.
Ah yeah that would be really nice. Inventory management is still a weakness of HZD for sure.

Yup. I mentioned it at the end of the video.
but are the coils the good ones
like
67 handling
30 damage
25 tear
have anybody ever gotten melee or range reduction to 90% or higher
Yes the coils can be max stats, though it’s very rare to find max stats coils no matter how you’re getting them.
I wish I knew the Thunderjaw exploit sooner as I killed it yesterday 😅

Haha you're totally right 😂
Nah, he’ll attempt to loot it and get trapped on a large rock, surrounded by hostile machines. Sidequest for Aloy to rescue him.
Do you have any suggestions about 3 stat stealth weaves? I've been trying to farm them but only got 1 to drop.
Great tips! Do you need a mount for the Behemoth shard trick (or any of the shard tricks) to work? Can I just run?
Thanks! Glad you found this helpful. And you can totally just run. I just used a mount to go faster.
