From this guide page, you will learn the recommended weapon list is for Horizon Forbidden West. By choosing your equipment in the right way, you will be sure that you are prepared for any eventuality.
A variety of ranged weapons are available to Players in Horizon Forbidden West, allowing everyone to create their own set fitting their play style. Below is our suggested all-purpose set that will allow you to do a lot of damage, apply statuses to targets, and/or set up traps.
- Hunter's Bow and/or Warrior's Bow: whether you prefer close or medium-range combat, one of these bows should be your primary weapon. Bows can shoot regular and elemental damage-dealing arrows.
- Sharpshot Bow: a slow weapon that requires a longer draw but shoots powerful projectiles from a very long distance. A useful tool when you care about dealing massive damage rather than tearing off individual machine parts.
- Blastsling: a weapon that shoots elemental damage bombs, allowing you to put a certain status on your target in a very short amount of time, weakening the opponent and giving you an upper hand in the fight.
Of course, additional weapons can be added on the weapon wheel so you can complete the set according to your preference, for example, with the Ropecaster or the Tripcaster.
