Aloy will need the best weapons possible to uncover the truth behind her post-apocalyptic world. The following guide lists some of the best weapons in Horizon Forbidden West which players should be aware of. Horizon Forbidden West features a massive arsenal with new inclusions as well returning weapons from Horizon Zero Dawn. The weapons are designed to vary based on gameplay preference with some even featuring custom attacks and special moves. Jump To: It can be tough to decide which weapon is the best in the game, but the list below comes pretty close. At the start of the game, you’ll need to purchase weapons from Arena vendors for Hunting Medals. Here is a list of weapons that will be useful for taking out enemies early in the game. Fire hunter bow is the best hunter-bow you can use early on in the game. It is a must-have weapon because it can inflict heavy damage to the enemies using Fire Hunter and Acid Hunter Arrows while also being relatively inexpensive. You can get this bow in Chainscrape after you have the merchants unlocked. Impact Spike Thrower is a safe bet early on in the game. To obtain the Impact Spike Thrower, you must complete all Barren Light Salvage Contracts. It is one of the few high-damaging weapons available at the start of the game. It outperforms the enemies by using impact spikes, with each Spike dealing up to 60 damage even if it doesn’t hit the weak spot. The Impact Spike Thrower is most effective at close range. In the early stages of the game, it is the best weapon for hard-hitting. You can use this weapon to completely rip off enemies’ armors, exposing the weak spots beneath. One thing to keep in mind is that when dealing damage, be careful not to destroy the machine part you need to collect (loot). Ropecasters can be useful for securing and controlling larger machines. Although a ropecaster is not always required, it is useful to have on hand because it can help you gain an upper hand in the battle. A Ropecaster can be purchased in The Daunt, either in Barren Light or at the Hunting Grounds. Although the above-mentioned weapons will suffice in the early and mid-game stages, you will need to upgrade to new weapons to deal with the difficult enemies as the game progresses. In the late game, you’ll have to compete in arena battles since they can reward you with a lot of loot, and you’ll need this loot to buy weapons for the endgame.
