    I have a Love / Hate relationship with the ShellSnappers. I hate their versitality of armaments that quickly beat down Aloy if not dodging constantly; I love the loot available if Aloy shreds it off the machine and / or kills it.
    About the ShellSnapper on the island near San Francisco:
    My first attempt to best it, I got my @$$ handed to me. It took a while, and it was a resounding thrashing because I ~tried~ to stay out of its way, yet it dominated me.
    My second attempt, I played it smarter, setting traps, dodging more effectively, and whittling away at it. Almost done, and the darn thing jumped and crushed me!
    Third attempt was much more deliberate, using better strategy, and I finally triumphed! Then I did the most stupid thing ever. I engaged in one more machine battle on the way out, with a Widemaw, I believe... and it killed me before I had a chance to SAVE. W...T...F... So, the Flower protecting the loot in the overgrown structure is ~still~ on my map. {sigh} I'm gonna wait a while before returning to "finish" this grudge match. "Just you wait, Henry ShellSnapper. Just you wait!"

      It is pretty darn hard to take down an apex on Very Hard. I was trying it when making this video, and got so close a couple times. The first time, it was at 10% health or less and it DESTROYED me with the power beam attack. The second time I suffered the same fate as you… dodged at the wrong time and got crushed by its belly slam. I know it ranks lower in terms of level compared to other machines, but I find it a lot harder than something like the scorcher.
