Burning Shores New Best Weapons, Armor Sets & Upgrades in Horizon Forbidden West DLC 

Thanks to Sony for sending over a free copy of Burning Shores! What do you guys think of the DLC? Imo it was short but insane quality for the price. Some of the craziest boss fights I've seen especially for a DLC.

Wish there was a Zenith armor set. That looked a little futuristic like the one in the original game that gave a shield.

The Quen Deadeye is easily the best armor in the game if you primarily use bows. Pair it with two Elite Weapon Techniques weaves and you have every concentration skill maxed, every stamina skill maxed, quiet movement and low profile maxed, and Stealth Ranged and Stealth Tear maxed. As far as the negatives you have a -20 to shock and lose out on Valor Surge Master, but I think getting all of the stealth shot and sneaking abilities is worth the trade. It’s perfect for someone like myself who prioritizes hunter and sharpshot bows. You can open with your big sharpshot damage and then go about fighting with your hunter bow, but if you’re not comfortable you can easily disengage and sneak your way back into the fight on your own terms.

The last argument is amazing with the drill spike, you can knock down machines with one well aimed throw

Brutal! I love the Nora Lookout, headpiece hidden. It was originally a Gamestop preorder exclusive for Zero Dawn in NA. Having missed out on it in ZD, I'm SO happy they included it in FW, especially with the glamour system.

The reward for the Dino digits side quest should be a dinosaur hat u could put on aloy. Kind of like the alligator hat in metal gear solid.

1:42 finally a legendary drill spike!! about the marker stuff for quests: set them to explorere mode and do not activate missions (they apear yelow if active) instead tag them (stay grey) than you have just a straight line and not the stupid "best rout" that keeps changing while you are moving

The building next to the shelter behind the relic ruins near the top there’s an apartment you can go into with another bow. It’s in a legendary chest called the “toy bow” Its exactly as it sounds it’s a purple toy that shoots suction cup arrows with the Sound! I think it’s funny AF to shoot at enemies an have the plop noise go off. 1:34

For me, the Quen Marine overtakes Nora Thunder Warrior, because it replaces Heavy Weapon Master +2 with Valor Surge Master +2, meaning I can now take off my Valor Surge coil and use something else, as I never needed the Heavy Weapon bonus at all. Exactly the same stats and resistances otherwise, but much better as it frees up a coil slot. I also really do love the Specter Gauntlet, it's so fun to use. It's very unique, and I can see why some maybe don't like it, as it's futuristic tech to Aloy's cave-man sort of fighting loadout, but I think it's really fun. I would have loved a Zenith outfit too.

The last argument is the spike thrower that i have ever wanted, highly appericiated

In my opinion the Quen Deadeye is the best new armor in Burning Shores. Playing on Ultra Hard I don't see an option outside of Stealth choices because machines literally spot you instantly from huge distances. This armor gives stealth ranged damage, some ranged combat buffs and Stealth. In weave slots I use it to boost traps, but you could do more ranged combat or valor surge buffs if you want. I still don't think it's better than Utaru Winterweave though. Silent Strike overhealing + smoke bomb abuse is just way toooo good. Add the silent strike gain weave to Utaru and Silent Strike does high damage, doubles your health pool and gives you crazy regen on weapon stamina and valor. With smoke bombs you can just keep using it too. Combine this new elite weapon techniques weave, just too good.

the facepaint is absolutely worth the effort, that looks awesome, I want it!!!!

The problem is that I'm kinda not incentivised to upgrade any more armor/weapons as I already have the base game 100% completed and by the time I finish upgrading the new weapons/armor I will have already beaten the DLC as well and have no content to really use the upgraded stuff on. They especially made a mistake with locking the new Arena challenges for after you complete the DLC, like what am I really gonna need the rewards for?

glad to see this game still getting love

ohh did not know about the new arena challenge nice

Nice! I’ve already got like 120 hours in this game. I love all the details and little extras. You can pick up on the side quests! One question now where did you get the zenith weapons from? I didn’t know about that.

My aerial capture is glitched and won’t display the 3rd one which means it won’t unlock the additional 6th aerial capture

Where do you get that red outfit you’re wearing and the white outfit on your thumbnail

3:43, Can anyone tell me what that face paint is called and/or how to get it?

When legendary weapons and outfits from the dlc are fully upgraded are they more poweful than maxed legendary weapons and outfits from the main campaign?

The specter gauntlet is very good in ultra hard new game plus

I just wish I could actually still play it!! My game will not progress past the main quest 'For His Amusement'. It just crashes back to the main PS5 error screen and shows the dreaded CE-108255-1 error code. 😮‍💨😮‍💨 I REALLY hope Guerrilla can patch in a fix soon. It is incredibly frustrating watching everyone else play through this amazing content, and just having to wait and hope for this to be sorted out... 🤦‍♂️

After playing this game to completion, including the DLC my personal opinion on best gears are as follows: Best Armor Quen Marine - this is a DLC version of Nora Thunder Warrior, however instead of Stealth Ranged+ & Heavy Weapon+, we get Drop Shield Capacity and Valor Surge Master. I personally don't use heavy weapons and stealth ranged is kind of useless after your first hit to an enemy especially in Ultra Hard mode, so the new DLC Quen Marine beats NTW, especially with the Valor Surge Master boost. Armor Weave Mods: Since there are caps to all skills, and this armor maxes most Hunter skills, there are 4 mods that work best according to me for this armor. My Weaves Mods: Melee Dmg+2, Power Attack+2 Other options: Weapon Stamina+2 & Critical Strike+2. If you chose Nora Thunder Warrior, there is also a Valor Surge Master+2 mod Weave that can be obtained in the game. Weapons: Shock Theme - mainly maximizing the new "Machine Grapple Strike" Hunter Bow: Death-Seeker's Shadow - 5xShock Warrior's Bow: Rain of Sparks - 5xImpact Dmg/Concentration Dmg/Agility Dmg (to shoot resonator energy) - Because this build is focused on binding the enemy and then dealing high dmg, Carja's Bane just lost it's use in NG+, as with this bow I had another alternative to bind and slow down the machines. Sharpshot Bow: Gravesinger's Lament - 5xImpact Dmg (for accurate finisher shots) - Iriv's Downfall from NG+ is a good alternative. Shredder Gauntlet 1: Ancestor's Return - 5xShock Shredder Gauntlet 2: Distant Thunder - 5xImpact/Agility/Concentration Dmg Special: Specter Gauntlet - for the high railgun dmg Valor Surge: Radial Blast

Hi, there is a locked ancient trunk in the island where you find the stormbird. This is perhaps the last puzzle unsolved in my first game play. Do you have any ideas where the key to the box might be?

How do you get the dark purple armor?

1:37 i didnt know this was star wars :p

Skyhammer is a very interesting slingshot. Should be able to ice almost everything. Those resistant can be drenched first prior to freezing. Now THAT'S a focused weapon with a focused purpose.

Yay, all I wanted was to get pushed around in the Arena of Bullshit once again!

Does the burning shores has fireclaw places or it do not?

I feel like purple weapons didn't work on enemies had buy legendary weapons and lucky I got free armor from a side quest

Hopefully in the third game you can choose your ammo type

What's the best legendary weapon for story mode? I'm having trouble killing machines bec it's so hard so I need some advice.

I knew it!!!!!

Better than the main game? Good morning

Me with my ps4 looking at the burning shores and can't touch it

lol...according to my save file, I've spent over 225 hours on this game and with DLC I see myself playing for another 25.

not a big fan of the new gauntlet I can do more damage while not getting hit using my blacktide sharp shot bow

Is that a Stargate

No Legendary Tearblast

Does brimshine respawn in New Game Plus

Can't believe this DLC is only 20 bucks that's crazy Thank you, 😊Playstation 🙏

So what the hell all my resources and loot I loose all of that in the DLC? Is that what am hearing ? So I farmed for nothing to upgrade stuff. Dang it not cool.

Bruh this game two hard bruh. I on story mode and I can't killt nothin and they killt me so easy.

HFW did dirty on tripcasters, which used to be my favorite weapon in HZD for a stealth kind of playstyle. Their damage was nerfed to ground in favor of the new trap system. Heck, even spear trap ability does more damage. One of the special ammo type, shield tripwires, even got alternative shield bits which are far superior than shield tripwires, making the tripcasters useless in every aspect

What name this Armor 0:26 ?

Wait…they didn’t add a machine master legendary armor? Seriously?

Why does every video start with an easy tutorial on how to start this dlc...no one's concerned. Lance Reddick LITERALLY calls you and tells you to meet him somewhere. That's it.

Does anybody know if this game is worth?

Don't forget it's ps5 only

It's PS5 exclusive DLC. I thought we can ride Behemoth or Thunderjaw

I was trying to determine if the DLC is worth buying, but just like Frozen Wilds, it’s not that great. Gonna pass for now.

Side quest in fw and bs are fillers that just waste time. The first game done a better job with side quest

what a waste, this DCL made me never play horizon games again after i finished them over 30 times (HZD and HFW)

This dlc Is disappointing for the weapons categories. HZD dlc had 3 new machines , 3 new weapon and 3 new powerful bows. This dlc add 1 new weapon, 1 machine that you can fight while using battle tactics. The other 2 I don't think you can enjoy fighting them. Hores is the same as specter prime, you fight him once only. So... I don't recommend paying 20$ for a disappointment

I just read on google that Aloy will be portrayed as a lesbian! Why? Why is everything ruined the days with peoples agenda’s shoved down our throat. It is so disappointing to me.

Just came here to comment that this game is mediocre forced diversity garbage with a god awful story. The first game was better in every way except for graphical fidelity.
