Ha! That is exactly how I gear up for every big fight. Only difference being here they didn't decide to run all the way around my carefully laid out trap :)
My tactics revolve around making machines fight one another and then clean the mess right after. So, I always use the corruption arrow or stun the strongest machine and override them. Works wonderfully if there's a thunderjaw, especially 2 thunderjaws
the tripcaster and ropecaster def became my fav this time around. I also take out the radar off thunderjaws which make it so much easier to hit them. Also the arrows that detach armor detach their cannons with 1 single hit which makes it easy to use the discs against them.
The best strat for thunderjaws is: A: nuke them with 15 explosive trips, if that doesn't kill them then take a tear blast arrow and knock off the disc launcher, then pick it up and finish the remaining HP, or if you wanna be a pro B: inflict the frozen status, take some tearblast arrows to the side of its neck which will remove the armour pannel revealing the core inside which is a super weak point then pelt it with high damage arrows while he is frozen for big PP damage
I upgraded my Tripcaster on my alt Story difficulty game to do max damage I was expecting a high number But holy fuck 2300 DMG My Banuk Powershot arrows do 70DMG when fully charged in Ultra Hard mode
I mean... but now what was the point of attacking harmless machines? you destroyed the cargo D: you're the reason why the derangement happened!! xD On another note though, what difficulty is that? that detection range is so small and you're not even wearing silent hunter outfit :O wonder how would this fare on higher diffs, just from the ammount of HP
I didn't use initially either, but replaying now without shield weaver and using all weapons. It adds a whole new dimension, no need to use hundreds of trips just some carefully laid out will work nicely.
No disrespect tp u but i dont think this was very good the tripcaster is a weapon for wusses. But nice job regardless, its always nice to get a little loot
But it's fun. :D The easier and most cost-effective way is to use Corruption Arrow. They hunt down each other and I kill the last one. But this trap strategy is more fun.
