Lore of Horizon Forbidden West: Combat Class Machines (Part 1)

[@RezonShinryu]

Gorilla games posted a job listing for a horizon lore historian/archivist and my instant thought was either Random or Wolf would be a good fit

[@blanketboyactual5264]

The machines with coolest encounter music 😎

'Built to kill' plays in the background.

[@duhastbitch]

It's actually hyping and scaring me everytime in the game 😂

@@nighthawk72j80 one of my favorite tracks on the OST

Damn, really nice screen record with Baeloy running from the Grimhorn flame

[@maxleroux]

Are the Corruptor, Specter, and Specter Prime going to be covered in the following video alongside the rest of HEPHAESTUS' combat machines, or will they get their own separate video because they aren't part of the teriforming system? That last line in the video felat a lot like foreshadowing.

[@Arinussy]

I mean, the corruptor isn’t one of Hephaestus’s machines tho

[@maxleroux]

@@Arinussy I know, but they were, so it's too late to complain now.

[@shawnbergmann2638]

No, they never were

[@TheRealAdachi]

@@maxlerouxno they never were. Originally they were made by FAS (Faro automated systems) and were under their control or the control of those who purchased them. Then a Horus gained sentience through a glitch as Ted likes to call it. It destroyed the world and then minerva the sub function shut them down. Then 20 years before horizon zero dawn takes place the extinction signal is sent and wakes up hades. Then the eclipse dug up the corruptors(actually called scarabs) and hades had them under his control as well as the deathbringers(actually called khopesh’s)

[@soulsborne5053]

Nice video! For me, GG really delivered when it comes to the new machines! I still remember entering the Forbidden West for the first time and encountering two Skydrifters and Leaplashers... at night. Now *that* was an awesome entrance to the dangers of the FW and made me super hyped for the *real* predators!

[@skins4thewin]

The Stalker is one of my favorite macbine types. They are just plain fun to fight :)

[@anastasiadockle1046]

Your videos are my favorite to learn more in depth information from the horizon games ❤ keep up the great work!

[@xyz49271]

Great Photography, I love your Narration style.

[@nighthawk72j80]

Ah yes, the machines that made me scream in terror as I used a bosw and arrow to fight a literal tank.

[@shaynesaulnier]

I still totally love these videos. So simple and easy to understand. I cant wait to see the next one. Hopefully that "horizon archivist" position is at least going to put you in consideration

[@Ambushbug]

Another Great video by my fellow Bank @RandomSideQuest

[@Stimros_halabad]

Thanks RSQ. The GOAT

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

I'm excited for Part 2.

[@kingdomkey581]

I always assumed that the Stalker was a Hephestus special. Honestly never thought it could be a Gaia machine

[@CanonShot]

Guerilla was looking for a Lore historian and archivist, so I hope you came across that and applied.

[@channelapa9816]

i'm just curious about the continent after zero dawn project, still same or have a different shape.. because in forbidden west gaia still showing a old earth map,

[@addisonwelsh]

Still roughly the same shape, though some areas are now underwater

[@o0TraceuR0o]

Hei rsq, love the content especially since im downright in love of the horizon universe, i was wandering if there's any plans on doing a story recap of aloys 6 month gaia backup search between zd and fw

[@cliffordthompson8248]

The storm bird is still my favorite. I still wish we could mount that bird.

[@Thijs.]

Thank you so much, thanks to your clearly written script I now know a bit more about this beautifull world. Thanks!

[@shadlin6839]

I love the colostrider

[@Andres-yi4qb]

I never seen a dreadwing "sucking the energy" out of other machines.🤔

[@ammarabbas5153]

Tremor tusk was a walking fortress and shellsnappers were walking tanks. Then you had normal human fears like snakes turn into giant metal versions with weapons so strong you wouldn't last more than half a minute against it. I'm surprised that cave men and women actually are able to pierce full on metal monsters with bows and arrows or wooden spears.

[@njavedhamilton6215]

It's been 2 weeks 😪 we need the next part please 🙏 😢

[@Stimros_halabad]

Ravager is still my favorite to fight.

[@regularhero9453]

Can you do Elizabeth sobeck

[@tri-seeker2753]

I know that I'm basically spoiling the game for myself, but I can't resist anyway. At least I have somethign until PC release. Thanks for the vid!

[@ssstormbird6575]

Stormbird.

[@J-bidenJackson]

Can you put these on Spotify so I can listen to them when I'm at work 😁

[@kaanasdf8131]

It's really sad to see how hype died down. I wish guerilla published the DLC or ported the game to PC already...

[@jamison74]

My guy what happened to this channel? I was so looking forward to the drought being over when Forbidden West was released but…

[@Rellana1]

I think they are waiting until its ported to PC for the major content.

[@skins4thewin]

They really need to "fix" the adhesive element. It's practically useless & does almost nothing to the enemy. Not cool.

[@soulsborne5053]

Agreed. I used adhesive ammo once on a Leaplasher, an Apex thunderjaw and a slaughterspine... I've never used it again lol. I did not see any noticable debuff effects on these machines at all and either got charged like I just hit it with whipped cream or tail whipped to the other side of the map. I feel like I'm missing something important regarding how adhesive works, considering, for example, the complexity and imo how nice the coils work in this game and the great side effects of (most) other elemental stats.

[@skins4thewin]

@@soulsborne5053 It really doesn't do much. The elements are kind of poorly implemented all around, which is sad considering they were so well done in the 1st game. Fire is WAYYYY too weak in this game for reasons I cannot fathom and is practically useless. Why they would want to limit the useful tactics in taking down machines is beyond me, it makes zero sense. Fire tick damage needs to be doubled at bare minimum, and so does tick damage from Acid.

[@soulsborne5053]

@@skins4thewin Certainly fire and acid dmg ticks are negligible. Acid gives plenty of other advantages but fire seems... just there. I'd only 'use' the fire element for (canister)explosions. Plasma does its job, but the major downside is that I can use so many more efficient and effective weapons instead of waiting for that 400-700 extra dmg.. Purgewater gives overall nice advantages, but to me *seems* underwhelming in making it possible to shock or freeze enemies faster. I could be wrong about that. And I never used Berserk before since I'd rather do the fighting lol, so who knows how well it does. But Shock and Brittle are really OP in my experiences. Then again, I have coiled my weapons insanely op since the jumping glitch lol. How about you?

[@skins4thewin]

@@soulsborne5053 Same. Acid can be useful but freeze is so much better so you're better off just using that instead. Only time I ever use Acid is when the enemy is weak to it but strong against freeze.

[@zacharious386]

@@soulsborne5053 I find that using adhesive works well with small to medium machines and it works to group flying machines

Algorithm comment

[@skie6282]

Still mad they advertised then removed rodable tremor tusks. Mainly because i went through the entire story up until the base attack thinking the game wasnt over because the trailors showed them. Idk why tf they would do that
