Hey thank you! I’m glad you find my content informative 😄 I do put a lot of effort into making my videos helpful and easy to understand. Glad you think they are!
Yet two years later game feels completely different Forced ship Nerfs Some things have changed I’m seeing the channel like a good informative… pancake But just like time, the pancake will slowly get rusty, no fresh look, moldy and not trusty
100% agree! I loved the first Horizon and waited to finish before buying HFW. Such a great boost but so much more to digest. Your vids are superb along with your resources. I just downloaded the coil weave spreadsheet. As soon as I can I’ll find your discord. Sadly my game time is limited but I will gladly support your efforts. Keep it up!
Just wanted to let you know how great this channel is. Its factual and devoid of the gaming BS, opinions and whining you get on the other more established channel. When it comes to HFW you are my go to channel. I watch all of your skills, gear and weapons video as they come out. I hold off on the watching the walkthrus until I have actually played that segment.
Thanks a lot @Suryia! I’m glad you think my content is good! I do work really hard on it, so it’s nice to hear. I hope you can enjoy the walkthrough videos as well once you’re ahead of me. I wouldn’t want to be spoiled either 😄 It’s a great story! Thanks for your support! 🙏
Agreed. Far and away my favorite HFW channel. I"m looking forward to the rest of the walthrough and have watched both the machine master videos and the masterclass videos multiple times each. Well done!
It's great to hear you start the video by thanking the community for getting 1,000 subs, now 8 months later you're about to hit 20k and it's easy to see why. Really well done video man, congrats!
Thank you! Yeah it's been awesome over this past year learning how to make videos and grow my channel 😄 I never would have thought a year ago that I'd be coming up on 20k subs today. Crazy! Thanks for your support 🙏
To be honest this is my go to channel for HFW help. Your videos are super high quality and super nice to have in the background while I'm playing Horizon. You probs won't see this because this video is super old, but just thought i'd say you have taught me so many things for combat tips even though I would consider myself a Horizon veteran.... so thanks!!!
You might want to go back thru your videos at some point and post updates to some of the info you’ve posted man. Since a lot of balance changes and patches much of this information has now become misinformation. For example, swapping outfits to make more smoke bombs via trap limit +2, then swapping back and maintaining the boosted amount no longer works. Or in this video, braced shot was nerfed into oblivion a few months after launch. Focused shot seems much better now for pure dps. There’s a lot of stuff like this on your channel. Most creators will just pin a comment or put in the description something like ‘UPDATE: as of patch x.xx such and such no longer works,’ which is something you may want to consider as a lot of people will likely find their way to your channel for the dlc
With the PC release, I've been testing both and Braced Shot might have been nerfed but it's still a great skill, especially earlier in the game. Yeah late game focused shot catches up being able to down a pack of 3 grazer in one shot is useful and even mid-game in very hard NG it's still better than Focused shot until you start using 3 coils. Once you get to that level (purple sharpshot bow upgraded enough to have at least 3 epic coils) then yeah focused shot becomes better and braced shot is reserved to specific situations where you want the explosion damage (but by that point you have half the skills in the game so it's not much of a choice anyway) but for the first half of the game, Braced Shot is insane, especially with how easily you can combine it with valors.
Damm man your sub count definitely does not reflect your video quality. The clarity you're presenting info and the lack of over the top annoying traits I see in many other big gaming channels is great to see. Cannot wait to see this channel explode which will happen eventually. Just gotta stick to what you're doing. It'll come.
@Stephen Mc Shane Thank you! That’s a very nice compliment! 😄 I do hope I can turn this into a bigger channel. I’ll just keep pumping out the content and hopefully the subs and views will come! I’m glad you think my videos are good quality, I do put a lot of effort into them and that’s definitely my goal, so thank you!
I was like “wait, what? He only has a thousand subs?” You provide great info and you have great quality in your videos, so I was surprised. Congrats on the 1000
I’m new to the whole gaming world and just bought my PS5 and HFW. I can’t tell you how helpful your videos have been in getting me started and understanding how the game works. You got an awesome channel and your videos provide such relevant and a great information. I appreciate that. Good job man.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos multiple times. I learn something new each time. You should do one on killing a specter. Damn if it didn’t take me a couple hours to beat him.
Honestly dude, I really appreciate your videos, I got forbidden west in a bundle and had no idea what to expect, then boom, completely overwhelmed and literally only focused on melee, your videos made me appreciate the overall quality that the game offers, thank you.
Triple notch actually doesn't triple damage. Triple notch damage scales down arrow damage by 30%, but still worth it for elemental build up. Anyway great content. Really liked how you thanked your viewers. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! And yes, you’re absolutely right, triple notch is not 3x damage. I didn’t realize that back when I made this video, but in future videos I did correct that.
honestly I'm not the biggest fans of figuring out skill combos in video games because i can't never pay attention long enough to figure out how they can all slot together, so this is definitely very helpful lol. & congrats on 1k!!
Lol I thought your channel is largely known channel. Been using your advice on weapon, outfits etc throughout my journey playing cause there is too many choice of evrything lol. Helped a lot! Great videos! Keep it up!
Thanks @Zunar Corporation ! Yeah I just got started a few months ago, but I’ve been happy with how it’s going so far. Seems like more people are starting to find my content. Anyway, thanks for your comment and support! 🙏
Yup this game is too complicated with so many things and mechanics and players need help from creators like you to make it easy! Thanks a lot looking forward for your ultimate end game gear videos! Haha
All the content creators with big subscriber numbers are out there putting out the EXACT same garbage as each other, even their thumbnail images and fonts are often impossible to differentiate. All the while you’re over here actually being creative and (refreshingly) unique with your top tier USEFUL information. Keep up the good work!
@Lame Cat Games Lol thanks a lot! I’m glad you’re finding my content useful and unique! I do put a lot of work into these videos, so it’s nice to hear you think they’re good quality. I appreciate your support! 🙏
@@ArktixOfficial people spend too much time trash talking bad content in their comment sections when they should be commending those that are doing a good job. I’m looking forward to your future videos! *cough-best mods for specific weapon types/load out -cough*😌
Tried HZD and I just got bored so i never finished it. Found your chanel on HFW and now i cant stop playing it. Great content and keep up the amazing work you put in your videos. Thank you
Awesome video! Thank you for breaking down all those weapon techniques & sharing strategies on how to use them optimally. My favorites are Braced Shot, Sustained Burst, Quick Rope & Triple Notch. But after watching this video, I'm inspired to do more experimenting. I definitely have to try using Knockdown Shot more, I admit I've underutilized it in favor of Triple Notch lol. And Critical Boost with Spread Blast sounds fun! The Blast Forge already has a Critical Hit +15% perk, so with some good coils the damage could be super OP. As always, great content & congratulations on 1k! Thanks for the shout-out too btw. 😁
Thanks @Sonny ! Yeah give Knockdown Shot a…shot! 🙃 I definitely under-utilize it too in favor of Triple Notch. Like I mentioned in the video, I’m still trying to figure out a good way to work it into my loadout. It does use a lot of stamina though, so I think the only viable tactics are going to require stamina potions to recharge your stamina once the machine is knocked down. That way you’ll be able to follow up with a Braced Shot, Triple Notch, etc.
The weapon techniques and Valor surge are something i haven't quite understood so far, so i wanted to see how they work. This is exactly what i was looking for. Thanks man. Great video.
I really want to thank you. I literally spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to alter between weapon skills and you answered my question in the first few minutes. Much love dude!
I wrecked HZD but was just not clicking with FW. Watching your videos took me from not having fun due to just constant unnecessary struggle to really understanding the mechanics! Thank you
I wish I would have found this channel much sooner. I tried watching some other help videos a while ago and found them pretty lackluster or bloated with info I didn't want/need. These videos are exactly what they advertise to be with zero fluff! Great job, keep it up!
Congratulations on the 1k....it's well deserved!! These videos are really great bro!! The Valor surge vid changed my whole fighting style and this video will surely do the same!! Much appreciated my guy! Keep the quality videos coming! This game has so many details and your video helps me enjoy them, can't wait to go play around with my new knowledge!
Recently dusted off my PS4 Pro to get into Horizon. Finished ZD and Forbidden West is kind of overwhelming because of all the extra skills, weapons, and combat options! Thanks for your videos to help me get a handle on all of it!
Love Powershots + Double Notch on the Forgefall sharpshot bow for farming breakable components like frostclaw sac webbing that braced shot can accidentally destroy. It's a strong opener to combo with coils like high ground damage and stealth damage, the opening shot nearly kills a frostclaw when fired unseen from above. The second arrow in double notch seems to land below the first, so I aim high on the machine. Sustained burst is nice for farming Stormbirds. Advanced plasma arrows from Forgefall ground the bird and apply the plasma elemental state, then while it's down you can dump a full clip of bolts into it to max out the plasma damage on the delayed explosion. Rinse and repeat, it stays grounded for a relatively easy kill. A video on best ways to remove components for upgrades, knock out stealth generators, or get kills without destroying ones like sac webbing would be cool. Love the content!
@Dan Beavers Thanks! And good tips! Thanks for sharing them. I also use a boltblaster on Stormbirds, and lots of other machines too! Sharpshot Double Notch isn't something I use much, but that's a good point that it would work well for machines with sac webbing that you need to harvest. Thanks for your video suggestion too! I think that's a good idea. I'll see if I can work it into my lineup.
Appreciate the shout-out. You earned the spike in subs. Another important vid. It was you who woke me up to the power of the braced shot. I abuse it whenever possible now. It can be daunting to even experiment with the special techniques after jumping in from HZD where things are relatively simpler. I think Guerilla complicated gameplay on a level that's usually reserved for the third installment (you should be their official ambassador for the sequel :) ). Now I feel more encouraged to play with the Knockdown shot and the old favorite Sticky Bombs on my next playthrough.
@Furious Styles thanks! I'd love to be a bigger channel by the time Horizon 3 is out. I think I could contribute to the community. And yeah it's definitely a lot more complicated and confusing coming from HZD, but give a few Weapon Techniques a try next time!
I use to use the Knockdown on the Hunter Bow, mostly when I start a new game, but I abandon that since a lot of my first shots are me hidden and I useably hit the components. I can usually get two shots off before the machines know where I'm at. The Burrows are funny. I usually hit their components on their back, which makes them stand up in confusion, and then hit their component on their chest. I like to electrocute machines to get them to stay still, especially the Tideripper and its tail. I don't how many times I got mad when I tried circling it and all it had to do was hop to keep me in its view. I used smoke bombs, which worked, but sometimes it would spot me before I could get a shot. I love the triple notch and use it a lot like you do. Whenever I fight a machine that is strong against electricity, I load one bow with Purgewater and the second with electric arrows. I love that. The Sharpshot bow, I used to use the Focus for Tearblast for the Dreadwing's teeth, but I stopped doing that. I do have one Sharpshot bow using Brace shot, which I mostly use when starting a new game, and Double notch on my bow that I have built for crit hits. The Blastbolt I use Sustained blast, and yeah, still don't think crits work. I would love if it did. The damage someone could do. I know this is a year old. I'm away from home for vacation and don't have my systems with me, so I've been surfing UA-cam. Happy New Year.
This is a great channel. I'm glad you started. HZD and HFW are massive games so I am hopeful you don't head off to do other games just yet. I haven't even finished this one yet. I get nerfed a lot. Note: Triple notch doesn't give you triple damage. JorRaptor demoed that you get a bit less than if you were to have fired all three separately.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying my content 😄 And don’t worry, I have plenty more Horizon content planned! And yes, I have since learned that triple notch does not do triple damage. I discussed it in detail in my “secret combat mechanics” video recently!
Just discovered your channel, I was a little late to the horizon for forbidden west party but your contact is fantastic! It's really helpful and I can't believe how in-depth some of your studies are! Really great channel!
Your videos are so helpful for me, I barely knew how to do anything before I first saw your videos and I relied almost completely on my spear, keep doing what you do.
Your guides are amazing! Your hard work and research definitely shows in the quality of your guides. I'm using all your guides, as well as your Let's Play as I'm working my way through Horizon Forbidden West and not getting my butt kicked in every encounter makes my game play much more enjoyable.
I played Zero Dawn years ago and just now started Forbidden West as it's on Plus. I forgot a lot about the gameplay and combat style so this video is awesome as both a refresher and helpful insight into new abilities. Thanks!
Played HFW when it dropped and im coming back to it after dlc release. Watched 4 videos so far and the content is amazing……really wish i had this channel on my first play though!!
You know usually I don’t subscribe to any gaming channel, but boy I was stunned to to know that you only have 4K-ish subs, as an editor, your editing skills and the way you present the content is really outstanding.. I see a big future ahead You earned a tiny extra sub :)
Just recently found your Chanel and I have to say it has helped so much with builds and getting better gear to play throughout the game! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you for the response. I was a big fan of horizon zero dawn but yes this game was a little overwhelming at first. Your videos broke it down perfectly thank you. But have liked your videos and now have subscribed. Peace and love bro
I just subscribed to your channel because you have got some of the best explanations to the things you talk about better than I’ve seen anybody I know more about the techniques now and the valor surges that I’ve never used. So much appreciation for the explanation. I might also add this game has a lot more involved in it than zero dawn dead.
Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate your sub 🙏 Glad you're finding my content helpful 😄 And yes, FW is much more complex thank ZD for sure! Hope you're having fun!
Thanks @Colin G! Yeah I’ve been surprised and really happy with the quick growth lately! I appreciate you being here from the “earlier days” and your nice comments!
Second video I watched on your channel, I’m impressed. Finally someone going over the Interesting stuff, and no BS / Opinions / Predictions of any kind as well? You just got a new sub. Keep it up man, I’m looking forward to watching your channel grow.
One tip that might be worth mentioning in a future vid for those who like using Valor Surges a lot is how to recharge your Valor surge bar quickly between fights. I find it helps a lot to equip an armor that has both Stealth Strike +2 and Steath Strike Gain +2 and then go stealth strike a herd of weak machines in between fights. Just 4 or 5 stealth strike kills is enough to fully charge up the meter with Stealth Strike Gain +2 equipped & will get you back ready to go for another big fight. Stealth Strike +2 on your armor as well as having both Stealth Strike boosts learned in the Infiltrator skill tree is very important as it's the only way to be able to insta kill all small non Apex machines instantly. The Utaru Whisperer armor is perfect for this, specially since it also has Silent Strike Heal +2 which will also overheal you with each kill at Level 4, so you'll also go into each fight w double health! I use it as my default stealth kill armor thru most of the game due to its overheal & Valor surge restoring abilities.
I wish I had found your channel before starting Forbidden West…your content is clear, thorough and well researched. Giving cred to others that helped with the info gathering, two thumbs up!! I’m well into the game, level 50 and I use mostly fighting techniques for fighting apex machines that I got from your content!! Thanks for all of your vids, keep it up, you got the UA-cam formula down, keep killing it!!
Great content. I am always struggling with these techniques, especially if you’re in the middle of a combat already. Thanks for sharing insightful tips!
I, myself, also have a high regard for the Braced Shot. I usually tend to use it against bigger machines, like Ravagers and Tremertusk, or more deadly ones, such as the Stalker and Clawstrider. I do sometimes miss the mark, but usually I make the hit.
Woohoo congrats to 1K!!! This was really good at explaining how things work, since we I mentioned before the game doesn’t teach you too much XD Overall I love how WTs were introduced. A lot of the skills in ZD were extremely powerful, and there was really no reason not to use them if you had a chance. Like most of the time I had three arrows loaded in ZD, but now with the stamina bar, you need to play more carefully. Also with the note of having specific weapons for specific skills, I’ve thought about something like that before. I don’t quite remember if weapon skills stick around if you unequip the weapon, but I thought of having multiple weapons specifically for one thing to switch to during the fight. Also ditto for braced shot. It’s just such an incredible opener. The ranged master thing you said is a good opener, but another I think I’ve dead before is stealth stalker, as it ups the damage to around 600 base. Oh and your point about knockdown shot, there’s a certain strategy I’ve liked. It’s to knock down a machine and then go in with the spread shot so I can get up close while they’re immobilized, making tons of the arrows connect on a weak spot
Thanks @Plusle ! I also like how the WTs are balanced with needing stamina. It was definitely a little too easy to abuse skills like triple notch in HZD lol. I’m not sure if weapons hang on to the WT they were set to. That’s a good question, I’ll have to check. Do you still like using Stealth Stalker after they nerfed it a couple weeks ago? I know a lot of people were using Stealth Stalker that way, but then they nerfed it so Ranged Master is now stronger. Just wanted to make sure you knew in case you didn’t realize they nerfed it. And that’s a good stretch for using Knockdown Shot! I’ll have to give it a try!
@ Arktix I was on the salvage mission trying to defeat the shellsnapper and he got me every time. I used the cleaving sharpshot bow and braced shot. But before that I set 3 advanced acid traps on his walking path. Just one use of braced shot, he was completely destroyed. Thanks for the tips! I was getting really frustrated. I subscribed.
I've got well over a thousand play hours in Forbidden West throughout multiple playthroughs. I can't believe I've never used valor surge and weapon techniques before! This is so going to help me beat the apex bilegut that has been torturing me in the cauldron on my current from-scratch ultra-hard playthrough. Cheers for these videos.
I've played through the game twice already and never knew I had to basically activate it the weapontechniques. I just thought once you had the triangle on the technique it used it and kept thinking my game kept glitching and thats why splitting spike wasn't working. I really feel stupid. Thank you for all the informative video
Arktix congratulations on the 1k.... Keep up going with your great work + advice info, and content's and video's + sharing your knowledge on HDZ+HFW. Superb.....
Hey buddy, i have watched your videos for a while now but i never knew you were such a new youtuber. Your videos are so well made, with great video quality and even better audio, that i thought you had like 300k+ followers. Keep going and you will soon be one of the bigget HFW youtubers.
@Gabriel Maia Wow thanks so much! That’s a very nice compliment 😊I’m glad you find my videos to be high quality. I do put a lot of work into them. Thanks for your support!
Thanks for these videos. I hate to admit it, but I played about halfway through forbidden west just with a hunter bow for everything then, I saw how to use Valor surges correctly and this video also helped making the game a ton more fun than just fire kill repeat. I know you don't like trip casters but I'd be interested to see how effectively use the shield tripcaster. Seems kinda worthless but that's how I felt with other technics and was completely wrong there too.
Hey thanks! Glad to hear my content is helping you out 😄 I might do a video on tripcasters at some point. I really don’t use them though, so I’ll need to experiment with them first to see if there’s any good uses. Staggerbeams are pretty good…
I just wanted to thank you for the tremendous work you've done on all these very useful videos for us and that have helped us a lot to understand how this game works.
You really should do a video for all 6 elements in the game fire, frost, shock, plasma, acid and purgewater. Because I don't use plasma at all... it just doesn't seem effective enough for the cost of the ammunition. For fire, well let's say outside of blaze canisters I won't use them at all. I certainly use them less than in HZD. And acid is still a big ? for me. The dmg over time isn't really worth mentioning and for the dmg multiplier. Well I think it is just to little, I rather use 2-3 arrows more than hard hit acid on them. If they have canisters I might hit them but other than that I don't see use of it. The only two elements I apply even without a sparker or chillwatercanister are frost and shock and even purgewater if the maschine is strong against either of them (mostly frost). And congratulations for over 1k.
Thank you! And thanks for this suggestion too. I've actually gotten a few people suggesting a do a video on all the elemental ammo/damage types, so I think I'm actually going to turn my purgewater video into a broader "elementals" video. Thanks for the suggestion!
Really enjoyed Zero Dawn, so I bought this and finally started playing it. Your videos are helping me a ton as the gearing and skill tree is completely different. Subed almost immediately. Thanks man. Also, what's your opinion on pre-ordered bonuses? I'm running behemoth elite right now and about 20 hours in. Not sure if I should go sentinel or what. I like the buffs it has but it's still a beginning armor.
Hey thanks! Glad you’re enjoying my content and finding it helpful 😁 Personally, I would definitely go for the Sentinel over the Behemoth Elite, unless you really like melee combat. I have video on outfits and weaves where I go through all my recommended outfits for every stage of the game.
Just got into FW some weeks ago (work and life saps most of my time…) and few days ago finally got my hands on a ps5 and wow how the load times vanish! Also got more hours in the game and, like others here, gotta say many thanks! Great stuff, good info. Especially from someone who platinum-ed HZD and liked it a lot; many changes and new stuff, and having little time makes your channel a veritable treasure trove of information! Keep up the great work! PD: what’s your next (or several) games you’re looking forward (and plan to cover like HFW…hope GOWR is one of them ^^)
Hey thanks! Glad to hear you’re finding my videos helpful 😄 I definitely know what it’s like to have limited time for gaming! I am indeed planing to cover GoW Ragnarok next! After than, the next big one will be Hogwarts Legacy. Maybe a bit of Forespoken in between depending on if it’s good. Further in the future, maybe Zelda Tears of the Kingdom in May. Not sure how much of my audience would be into Zelda though. Of course, Horizon DLC whenever it comes out too!
@@ArktixOfficial GoWR is on my plate as well (might buy it waaay later once have time for it xD /cry) and Zelda TotK!!! Can’t promise much, but with how BotW went, and with your level of info, it’s gonna be a hit (would bet my neighbors dogs on that xD)! Only one I also have is Crisis Core Reunion (always wanted to play the original but never had the $ back in the day, and somehow nobody could/wanted to lend it to me, psp included…).
Nice! Hope you get to play it sooner rather than later 😄 And good to hear you’d be interested in Zelda content. I’ll have to do a poll at some point to see how much of my audience would be interested. Thanks for your support!
This is easily the most informative HFW creator I’ve seen. Man just has an easy to understand and calming energy.
Hey thank you! I’m glad you find my content informative 😄 I do put a lot of effort into making my videos helpful and easy to understand. Glad you think they are!

Triple notch actually doesn't triple damage. Triple notch damage scales down arrow damage by 30%, but still worth it for elemental build up.
Anyway great content. Really liked how you thanked your viewers. Keep up the good work!

honestly I'm not the biggest fans of figuring out skill combos in video games because i can't never pay attention long enough to figure out how they can all slot together, so this is definitely very helpful lol. & congrats on 1k!!
Thank you @Rainy Liu ! And I’m glad you’re finding my content helpful!
Lol I thought your channel is largely known channel. Been using your advice on weapon, outfits etc throughout my journey playing cause there is too many choice of evrything lol. Helped a lot! Great videos! Keep it up!
Thanks @Zunar Corporation ! Yeah I just got started a few months ago, but I’ve been happy with how it’s going so far. Seems like more people are starting to find my content. Anyway, thanks for your comment and support! 🙏
Yup this game is too complicated with so many things and mechanics and players need help from creators like you to make it easy! Thanks a lot looking forward for your ultimate end game gear videos! Haha
Haven’t missed a video yet and learned something valuable from each one. So glad to see your channel growing so fast; well deserved!
@Lame Cat Games Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying my content!
All the content creators with big subscriber numbers are out there putting out the EXACT same garbage as each other, even their thumbnail images and fonts are often impossible to differentiate. All the while you’re over here actually being creative and (refreshingly) unique with your top tier USEFUL information. Keep up the good work!
@Lame Cat Games Lol thanks a lot! I’m glad you’re finding my content useful and unique! I do put a lot of work into these videos, so it’s nice to hear you think they’re good quality. I appreciate your support! 🙏
@@ArktixOfficial people spend too much time trash talking bad content in their comment sections when they should be commending those that are doing a good job. I’m looking forward to your future videos!
*cough-best mods for specific weapon types/load out -cough*😌
Thanks @Lame Cat Games ! And noted on your subtle suggestion lol 😉 I think you’ll find my ultimate build videos will address that!
Great video. Appreciate the horizon coverage and advice. It is a bit daunting to figure it all out. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you! I’m glad you’re finding my content helpful. And thanks for your support! 🙏
Tried HZD and I just got bored so i never finished it. Found your chanel on HFW and now i cant stop playing it. Great content and keep up the amazing work you put in your videos. Thank you
Hey thanks! Glad you’re finding my videos helpful and enjoying Forbidden West! 😄
Awesome video! Thank you for breaking down all those weapon techniques & sharing strategies on how to use them optimally. My favorites are Braced Shot, Sustained Burst, Quick Rope & Triple Notch. But after watching this video, I'm inspired to do more experimenting. I definitely have to try using Knockdown Shot more, I admit I've underutilized it in favor of Triple Notch lol. And Critical Boost with Spread Blast sounds fun! The Blast Forge already has a Critical Hit +15% perk, so with some good coils the damage could be super OP.
As always, great content & congratulations on 1k! Thanks for the shout-out too btw. 😁
Thanks @Sonny ! Yeah give Knockdown Shot a…shot! 🙃 I definitely under-utilize it too in favor of Triple Notch. Like I mentioned in the video, I’m still trying to figure out a good way to work it into my loadout. It does use a lot of stamina though, so I think the only viable tactics are going to require stamina potions to recharge your stamina once the machine is knocked down. That way you’ll be able to follow up with a Braced Shot, Triple Notch, etc.
The weapon techniques and Valor surge are something i haven't quite understood so far, so i wanted to see how they work. This is exactly what i was looking for. Thanks man. Great video.
Awesome to hear that Ben! I’m glad you found this helpful 😄 Thanks for your comment!
I really want to thank you. I literally spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to alter between weapon skills and you answered my question in the first few minutes. Much love dude!
Hey thanks! Glad to hear you found this helpful 😄 Hope you’re enjoying the game!
I wrecked HZD but was just not clicking with FW. Watching your videos took me from not having fun due to just constant unnecessary struggle to really understanding the mechanics! Thank you
Awesome! Glad to hear my content has helped you enjoy the game more 😄
I wish I would have found this channel much sooner. I tried watching some other help videos a while ago and found them pretty lackluster or bloated with info I didn't want/need. These videos are exactly what they advertise to be with zero fluff! Great job, keep it up!
Hey thanks Tom! Glad to have you here now 😊 I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying my content, and I hope it’s been helpful!
Congratulations on the 1k....it's well deserved!! These videos are really great bro!! The Valor surge vid changed my whole fighting style and this video will surely do the same!! Much appreciated my guy! Keep the quality videos coming! This game has so many details and your video helps me enjoy them, can't wait to go play around with my new knowledge!
Thanks a lot @Classical University! I’m glad you’re finding my content helpful! That’s definitely my goal. Thanks for your support 🙏
Recently dusted off my PS4 Pro to get into Horizon. Finished ZD and Forbidden West is kind of overwhelming because of all the extra skills, weapons, and combat options! Thanks for your videos to help me get a handle on all of it!
Awesome! Glad to hear my videos are helping you 😄 Yes, FW is much more complex compared to ZD. I hope you’re enjoying Horizon overall!
Love Powershots + Double Notch on the Forgefall sharpshot bow for farming breakable components like frostclaw sac webbing that braced shot can accidentally destroy. It's a strong opener to combo with coils like high ground damage and stealth damage, the opening shot nearly kills a frostclaw when fired unseen from above. The second arrow in double notch seems to land below the first, so I aim high on the machine.
Sustained burst is nice for farming Stormbirds. Advanced plasma arrows from Forgefall ground the bird and apply the plasma elemental state, then while it's down you can dump a full clip of bolts into it to max out the plasma damage on the delayed explosion. Rinse and repeat, it stays grounded for a relatively easy kill.
A video on best ways to remove components for upgrades, knock out stealth generators, or get kills without destroying ones like sac webbing would be cool. Love the content!
@Dan Beavers Thanks! And good tips! Thanks for sharing them. I also use a boltblaster on Stormbirds, and lots of other machines too! Sharpshot Double Notch isn't something I use much, but that's a good point that it would work well for machines with sac webbing that you need to harvest.
Thanks for your video suggestion too! I think that's a good idea. I'll see if I can work it into my lineup.
Appreciate the shout-out. You earned the spike in subs.
Another important vid. It was you who woke me up to the power of the braced shot. I abuse it whenever possible now. It can be daunting to even experiment with the special techniques after jumping in from HZD where things are relatively simpler. I think Guerilla complicated gameplay on a level that's usually reserved for the third installment (you should be their official ambassador for the sequel :) ). Now I feel more encouraged to play with the Knockdown shot and the old favorite Sticky Bombs on my next playthrough.
@Furious Styles thanks! I'd love to be a bigger channel by the time Horizon 3 is out. I think I could contribute to the community. And yeah it's definitely a lot more complicated and confusing coming from HZD, but give a few Weapon Techniques a try next time!
With the shredder gauntlet, if you're far enough away, you can launch more than one at a time. Basically turning into it a ping pong game
Cool! I haven’t tried that yet, I’ll have to give it a shot!
I use to use the Knockdown on the Hunter Bow, mostly when I start a new game, but I abandon that since a lot of my first shots are me hidden and I useably hit the components. I can usually get two shots off before the machines know where I'm at. The Burrows are funny. I usually hit their components on their back, which makes them stand up in confusion, and then hit their component on their chest.
I like to electrocute machines to get them to stay still, especially the Tideripper and its tail. I don't how many times I got mad when I tried circling it and all it had to do was hop to keep me in its view. I used smoke bombs, which worked, but sometimes it would spot me before I could get a shot.
I love the triple notch and use it a lot like you do. Whenever I fight a machine that is strong against electricity, I load one bow with Purgewater and the second with electric arrows. I love that.
The Sharpshot bow, I used to use the Focus for Tearblast for the Dreadwing's teeth, but I stopped doing that. I do have one Sharpshot bow using Brace shot, which I mostly use when starting a new game, and Double notch on my bow that I have built for crit hits.
The Blastbolt I use Sustained blast, and yeah, still don't think crits work. I would love if it did. The damage someone could do.
I know this is a year old. I'm away from home for vacation and don't have my systems with me, so I've been surfing UA-cam. Happy New Year.
This is a great channel. I'm glad you started. HZD and HFW are massive games so I am hopeful you don't head off to do other games just yet. I haven't even finished this one yet. I get nerfed a lot. Note: Triple notch doesn't give you triple damage. JorRaptor demoed that you get a bit less than if you were to have fired all three separately.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying my content 😄 And don’t worry, I have plenty more Horizon content planned! And yes, I have since learned that triple notch does not do triple damage. I discussed it in detail in my “secret combat mechanics” video recently!
Just discovered your channel, I was a little late to the horizon for forbidden west party but your contact is fantastic! It's really helpful and I can't believe how in-depth some of your studies are! Really great channel!
Thank you! And welcome 😄 Glad you’re enjoying my content and finding it helpful!
Recently got a PS5 with this game and these guides have helped me to use everything so much more, thank you :)
Great to hear! Glad you’re finding my content helpful 😄
Your videos are so helpful for me, I barely knew how to do anything before I first saw your videos and I relied almost completely on my spear, keep doing what you do.
Hey thanks! Really glad to hear you’re finding my content helpful 😁 I hope you’re enjoying the game!
Your guides are amazing! Your hard work and research definitely shows in the quality of your guides. I'm using all your guides, as well as your Let's Play as I'm working my way through Horizon Forbidden West and not getting my butt kicked in every encounter makes my game play much more enjoyable.
Hey thanks a lot Charles! So glad to hear you're finding my content helpful 😄 I hope you continue to enjoy Forbidden West!
Just started watching your videos last few weeks as i have been playing the game. Amazing stuff. Great channel. Keep it up!
Hey thanks Rizzle! Glad to hear you’re enjoying my content! I hope you’re finding it helpful!
Yeah you have my subscription. I didn’t realise there were so few subscribers. Great content and great production value.
Thank you I appreciate it! 🙏
It makes me so happy that in a few months form this video you jumped from 1k to almost 25k subscribers, you deserve a lot more! Your videos are great
Hey thanks Emmanuele! Yeah it's been great growing the channel. Can't wait for Burning Shores and more Horizon content!

Thanks @GamerNurse Gale !
I’ve just started playing this game for the first time. And your videos have helped me more than you know!!! Keep up the great work bud
Hey thanks! Glad you’re finding my content helpful 😁 Hope you’re enjoying the game!
I played Zero Dawn years ago and just now started Forbidden West as it's on Plus. I forgot a lot about the gameplay and combat style so this video is awesome as both a refresher and helpful insight into new abilities. Thanks!
The quality of video and your explanation on every topic is great, I would love to see you grow man. I am glad that i am in 1k subscribers.
Thank you James! I’m glad you think my content is high quality 😄 And thanks for being one of my first subscribers! Hopefully, we continue to grow!
Well done! It’s been the best Video by far and i was really struggeling to find out how to switch betwin those three tecniques
Thank you! Glad you found this helpful 😄
That intro was so wholesome, I subscribed just because it's so genuine and wholesome.
Hey thanks! 😄 I really appreciate your support 🙏🙂
I subscribed for sure. Crazy how you don’t have more subs bro🙏
Thank you! 😄 I appreciate it! 🙏
Played HFW when it dropped and im coming back to it after dlc release. Watched 4 videos so far and the content is amazing……really wish i had this channel on my first play though!!
Hey thanks! Glad you're enjoying my videos 😁 I hope you're finding the tips helpful!
You know usually I don’t subscribe to any gaming channel, but boy I was stunned to to know that you only have 4K-ish subs, as an editor, your editing skills and the way you present the content is really outstanding.. I see a big future ahead
You earned a tiny extra sub :)
Hey thanks MD! This is a very kind compliment 😊 I really appreciate your sub! 🙏
“We recently passed 1,000 subscribers.” Wow, you’ve come a long way! It’s well-deserved.
Haha yes! And thank you =D
Ok, this was one of the best videos I have seen. Explanations were very clear and helpful. I'm going to look up some of your other videos. Thanks!
Thanks Craig! That’s very kind and I appreciate your comment! Hope you enjoy my other content!
You're channel is amazing brother. Very informative! one of my favorites now!
Hey thanks Pastense! I’m glad to hear you enjoy my vids and find them helpful 😄
I am about halfway through playing this game… I didn’t know I needed your channel and this knowledge as much as I do. Thanks
You’re very welcome! Glad you’re finding my content helpful 😄
Just recently found your Chanel and I have to say it has helped so much with builds and getting better gear to play throughout the game! Keep up the good work!!
Awesome to hear Zach! Glad my content has helped you =D
Great video man, awesome content. I've been searching for guides like this espionage your video on elemental effects
@Henry Sullivan Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying them and finding them helpful!
Thank you for the response. I was a big fan of horizon zero dawn but yes this game was a little overwhelming at first. Your videos broke it down perfectly thank you. But have liked your videos and now have subscribed. Peace and love bro
@richietheheavenly Thanks! I’m glad you’re finding my content helpful, and I really appreciate your subscription! 🙏
This is inspiring. Seeing you have fun while taking it easy on your injured knee is cool. Way to make the best of things.
Im just diving back into this game, and im so glad that i found this channel
Awesome! I hope you're enjoying Forbidden West. And welcome to the channel! 😁
I just subscribed to your channel because you have got some of the best explanations to the things you talk about better than I’ve seen anybody I know more about the techniques now and the valor surges that I’ve never used. So much appreciation for the explanation. I might also add this game has a lot more involved in it than zero dawn dead.
Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate your sub 🙏 Glad you're finding my content helpful 😄 And yes, FW is much more complex thank ZD for sure! Hope you're having fun!
so pleased this channel has taken off. i think it was around 500 subs when i joined.. well deserved ..
Thanks @Colin G! Yeah I’ve been surprised and really happy with the quick growth lately! I appreciate you being here from the “earlier days” and your nice comments!
I have to say your editing is absolutely amazing!
Thank you! I do spend a lot of time on the edit, so I'm glad it shows.
First video I've watched from you dude and I'm impressed 👍
Definitely worthy of a sub!
@Frank Couper Thank you! And thanks for your sub! Glad to have you here!
Your voice is very calming and easy to listen to! Thanks for the informative videos 👏
Thank you! That's very nice of you to say. Glad you find my voice calming and the video informative! 😄
Some of the best videos I have seen so far. Keep doing what you’re doing man, love it.
Second video I watched on your channel, I’m impressed. Finally someone going over the Interesting stuff, and no BS / Opinions / Predictions of any kind as well? You just got a new sub. Keep it up man, I’m looking forward to watching your channel grow.
@Homeless Banana Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying my content and finding it useful. And thanks for you sub as well. I appreciate it! 🙏🏼
@@ArktixOfficial ur welcome man, you more than earned it.
One tip that might be worth mentioning in a future vid for those who like using Valor Surges a lot is how to recharge your Valor surge bar quickly between fights.
I find it helps a lot to equip an armor that has both Stealth Strike +2 and Steath Strike Gain +2 and then go stealth strike a herd of weak machines in between fights. Just 4 or 5 stealth strike kills is enough to fully charge up the meter with Stealth Strike Gain +2 equipped & will get you back ready to go for another big fight.
Stealth Strike +2 on your armor as well as having both Stealth Strike boosts learned in the Infiltrator skill tree is very important as it's the only way to be able to insta kill all small non Apex machines instantly.
The Utaru Whisperer armor is perfect for this, specially since it also has Silent Strike Heal +2 which will also overheal you with each kill at Level 4, so you'll also go into each fight w double health! I use it as my default stealth kill armor thru most of the game due to its overheal & Valor surge restoring abilities.
Good tip for building up Valor!
Very helpful video. Weapon techniques is something I must admit I haven’t used much. But you’ve explained it well and I will practice using them
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful!
love your video and your voice, your videos are very helpful and go straight to the point. been a sub when you're at 300s. keep up the good work
@Zhuang Yang Thank you! I really appreciate your support! 🙏🏼
I wish I had found your channel before starting Forbidden West…your content is clear, thorough and well researched. Giving cred to others that helped with the info gathering, two thumbs up!! I’m well into the game, level 50 and I use mostly fighting techniques for fighting apex machines that I got from your content!! Thanks for all of your vids, keep it up, you got the UA-cam formula down, keep killing it!!
Hey thanks a lot! 😄 Glad you've found my content helpful 🙂 I appreciate your support!
This is yet another video of yours that has helped me to achieve a better understanding of this awesome game! Thanks for helping a new player out!
Great content. I am always struggling with these techniques, especially if you’re in the middle of a combat already. Thanks for sharing insightful tips!
Thank you! I’m glad to hear you found this helpful!
I, myself, also have a high regard for the Braced Shot.
I usually tend to use it against bigger machines, like Ravagers and Tremertusk, or more deadly ones, such as the Stalker and Clawstrider.
I do sometimes miss the mark, but usually I make the hit.
Woohoo congrats to 1K!!!
This was really good at explaining how things work, since we I mentioned before the game doesn’t teach you too much XD
Overall I love how WTs were introduced. A lot of the skills in ZD were extremely powerful, and there was really no reason not to use them if you had a chance. Like most of the time I had three arrows loaded in ZD, but now with the stamina bar, you need to play more carefully. Also with the note of having specific weapons for specific skills, I’ve thought about something like that before. I don’t quite remember if weapon skills stick around if you unequip the weapon, but I thought of having multiple weapons specifically for one thing to switch to during the fight.
Also ditto for braced shot. It’s just such an incredible opener. The ranged master thing you said is a good opener, but another I think I’ve dead before is stealth stalker, as it ups the damage to around 600 base.
Oh and your point about knockdown shot, there’s a certain strategy I’ve liked. It’s to knock down a machine and then go in with the spread shot so I can get up close while they’re immobilized, making tons of the arrows connect on a weak spot
Thanks @Plusle ! I also like how the WTs are balanced with needing stamina. It was definitely a little too easy to abuse skills like triple notch in HZD lol. I’m not sure if weapons hang on to the WT they were set to. That’s a good question, I’ll have to check. Do you still like using Stealth Stalker after they nerfed it a couple weeks ago? I know a lot of people were using Stealth Stalker that way, but then they nerfed it so Ranged Master is now stronger. Just wanted to make sure you knew in case you didn’t realize they nerfed it. And that’s a good stretch for using Knockdown Shot! I’ll have to give it a try!
@@ArktixOfficial Ive still been clinging to stealth stalker since I can’t be bothered To press the buttons to change it XD
Lol I'm pretty sure you're not alone on that =)
You're famous!!!
Lol not quite yet 😉
Just have to say I am so glad I came across your channel. The information you give have helped me greatly. Keep up the fantastic work.
@Mike Stuart Thank you! I'm glad you're finding my content helpful! Much more to come!
@ Arktix I was on the salvage mission trying to defeat the shellsnapper and he got me every time. I used the cleaving sharpshot bow and braced shot. But before that I set 3 advanced acid traps on his walking path. Just one use of braced shot, he was completely destroyed. Thanks for the tips! I was getting really frustrated. I subscribed.
Nice work! 👍 Glad you found these tips helpful 😁 And thanks for your sub!
Excellent! Just started Forbidden West and this has been most helpful!
Thanks! I’m glad to hear you found this helpful 😄 Hopefully some of my other videos can help you too!
I've got well over a thousand play hours in Forbidden West throughout multiple playthroughs. I can't believe I've never used valor surge and weapon techniques before! This is so going to help me beat the apex bilegut that has been torturing me in the cauldron on my current from-scratch ultra-hard playthrough. Cheers for these videos.
How? 1,000 hours in and never used any? Even though you have been stuck on an enemy?
@@dirrdevil Yep. Not until that post anyway.
I've played through the game twice already and never knew I had to basically activate it the weapontechniques. I just thought once you had the triangle on the technique it used it and kept thinking my game kept glitching and thats why splitting spike wasn't working. I really feel stupid. Thank you for all the informative video
I'm glad this was helpful! Weapon Techniques are really handy. I hope you can use them more easily now!
Arktix congratulations on the 1k.... Keep up going with your great work + advice info, and content's and video's + sharing your knowledge on HDZ+HFW. Superb.....
Thanks @Elementlab UK! I appreciate your support! 🙏
Hey buddy, i have watched your videos for a while now but i never knew you were such a new youtuber. Your videos are so well made, with great video quality and even better audio, that i thought you had like 300k+ followers. Keep going and you will soon be one of the bigget HFW youtubers.
@Gabriel Maia Wow thanks so much! That’s a very nice compliment 😊I’m glad you find my videos to be high quality. I do put a lot of work into them. Thanks for your support!
Seriously well made and well delivered video, can't wait to see more!
Hey thanks Kaleb! I’m glad you think so, and thanks for your comment!
Such a genuine guy! Thanks for the informative videos!
Hey thanks! Glad you find the videos helpful 😄
Thanks for these videos. I hate to admit it, but I played about halfway through forbidden west just with a hunter bow for everything then, I saw how to use Valor surges correctly and this video also helped making the game a ton more fun than just fire kill repeat. I know you don't like trip casters but I'd be interested to see how effectively use the shield tripcaster. Seems kinda worthless but that's how I felt with other technics and was completely wrong there too.
Hey thanks! Glad to hear my content is helping you out 😄 I might do a video on tripcasters at some point. I really don’t use them though, so I’ll need to experiment with them first to see if there’s any good uses. Staggerbeams are pretty good…
Just came across your vids through forbidden west. Your vids are so well edited and scripted. Keep em up!
@chancegoondavis Thank you! I’m glad you think my videos are good quality!
I just wanted to thank you for the tremendous work you've done on all these very useful videos for us and that have helped us a lot to understand how this game works.
Huge thanks for this video, i have been totally sleeping on these.
Awesome! Glad you found this helpful 😄 Thanks for your comment!
Nice man good job
Thank you!
Thank I for video. This one and the valor surge has greatly helped. Hadn’t really figured this out yet
Awesome! Thanks for visiting my channel. I’m glad you found the video helpful!
Arktix you are a lifesaver!!!! I didn't know what skill to pick up.....
😄 Happy to hear this helped you!
This videos are amazing these videos are on par with bigger channels keep it up
Thank you! 😄 That’s a very nice compliment 😊
Hey man, really appreciate your videos! Great stuff, keep it up
Thank you!
Love this channel already :) Great stuff brotha.
Thanks! Glad you like it 😄 Hope your finding these tips and info helpful!
Great video. This channel has the best horizon forbidden west content available.
@ScottyLuCk Wow thanks! It’s definitely my goal to be the “go-to” Horizon channel!
Dude! You’re video are SO GOOD! Keep it up!
Hey thanks Garry! I appreciate that =) I have lots more planned!
Keep up the great work recently picked up the game informative smooth videos very helpful.
Thanks Michael! I'm glad you find these helpful! 😄
For Knockdown Shot:
Loading your Explosive Spike up with Damage vs Knocked down Opponents.
Then knockdown Shot into Splitting Spike does insane damage
@kcbsuiejb Good tip! I'll have to try that out!
Great video, it was very informative... good luck with the channel I just subsricbed!
#Jachim Tachiak Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful! And thank you so much for your subscription! 🙏
Just found your channel, and damn these videos are great! You got a new subscriber!
Hey thanks bassmaster! I appreciate your sub! 🙏
You really should do a video for all 6 elements in the game fire, frost, shock, plasma, acid and purgewater.
Because I don't use plasma at all... it just doesn't seem effective enough for the cost of the ammunition.
For fire, well let's say outside of blaze canisters I won't use them at all. I certainly use them less than in HZD.
And acid is still a big ? for me. The dmg over time isn't really worth mentioning and for the dmg multiplier. Well I think it is just to little, I rather use 2-3 arrows more than hard hit acid on them. If they have canisters I might hit them but other than that I don't see use of it.
The only two elements I apply even without a sparker or chillwatercanister are frost and shock and even purgewater if the maschine is strong against either of them (mostly frost).
And congratulations for over 1k.
Thank you! And thanks for this suggestion too. I've actually gotten a few people suggesting a do a video on all the elemental ammo/damage types, so I think I'm actually going to turn my purgewater video into a broader "elementals" video. Thanks for the suggestion!
I would be so lost in this game without this channel 😅 thank you for the content!
Thank you! I’m glad you’re finding it helpful!
Really enjoyed Zero Dawn, so I bought this and finally started playing it. Your videos are helping me a ton as the gearing and skill tree is completely different. Subed almost immediately. Thanks man.
Also, what's your opinion on pre-ordered bonuses? I'm running behemoth elite right now and about 20 hours in. Not sure if I should go sentinel or what. I like the buffs it has but it's still a beginning armor.
Hey thanks! Glad you’re enjoying my content and finding it helpful 😁 Personally, I would definitely go for the Sentinel over the Behemoth Elite, unless you really like melee combat. I have video on outfits and weaves where I go through all my recommended outfits for every stage of the game.
Just got into FW some weeks ago (work and life saps most of my time…) and few days ago finally got my hands on a ps5 and wow how the load times vanish! Also got more hours in the game and, like others here, gotta say many thanks! Great stuff, good info.
Especially from someone who platinum-ed HZD and liked it a lot; many changes and new stuff, and having little time makes your channel a veritable treasure trove of information! Keep up the great work!
PD: what’s your next (or several) games you’re looking forward (and plan to cover like HFW…hope GOWR is one of them ^^)
Hey thanks! Glad to hear you’re finding my videos helpful 😄 I definitely know what it’s like to have limited time for gaming! I am indeed planing to cover GoW Ragnarok next! After than, the next big one will be Hogwarts Legacy. Maybe a bit of Forespoken in between depending on if it’s good. Further in the future, maybe Zelda Tears of the Kingdom in May. Not sure how much of my audience would be into Zelda though. Of course, Horizon DLC whenever it comes out too!
@@ArktixOfficial GoWR is on my plate as well (might buy it waaay later once have time for it xD /cry) and Zelda TotK!!! Can’t promise much, but with how BotW went, and with your level of info, it’s gonna be a hit (would bet my neighbors dogs on that xD)!
Only one I also have is Crisis Core Reunion (always wanted to play the original but never had the $ back in the day, and somehow nobody could/wanted to lend it to me, psp included…).
Nice! Hope you get to play it sooner rather than later 😄 And good to hear you’d be interested in Zelda content. I’ll have to do a poll at some point to see how much of my audience would be interested. Thanks for your support!
