How To Properly Use Horizon's Specter Gauntlet 

I've realized I mispoke on the corrosive state increasing knockdown power...The corrosive state increases the chance of a critical hit happening, not knockdown like I stated in the video... I intended to refer to these critical hits then increasing the chance of a knockdown happening. Totally screwed that up and I apologize for the confusion!! also meant to say "400 explosive damage per clip" at 1:39 thank you for bringing this to my attention!!

I have to say, the transitions between clips is so smooth! Especially the one at 9:35

I love the way you edit your videos. Using an action to cut to the next clip was a great choice.

4:24 that was a really good transition.

Bro made so many amazing transitions and thought we wouldn’t notice

This is actually useful, i have seen so many people not using it cause they dont know how to properly use it.

This is a famtastic video, and something I've been needing as a complimentary to Noxious Asp's "machine spotlights"! One important aspect is the cheap ammo crafting, especially out in the wild.

The exact amount of Shrapnel is not "random" when you hit a Designator. Everytime you hit a Designator or Resonator with the Specter Railgun, that explosion will produce ONE Sparking Shrapnel. Also you don't have to shoot through the machine to get the Sparking Shrapnel. All that is required to get the Shrapnel is to hit the Designator with the Railgun shot. It might be easier to see the damage the Spark is doing by shooting through the machine, but no matter how you hit the Designator with the Railgun, only one Sparking Shrapnel is always produced per shot.

So is the spectre gauntlet forbidden west’s version of the banuk weapons from zero dawn? It seems to behave like a cross between the stormslinger and the icerail (or forgefire) I love that they kept that style of weapon in - they were my fav weapons to use in ZD

I like the transition from Fighting machines

This is going to help with many encounters with Apex Clamberjaws and Apex Tracker Burrowers! The annoying thing about both machines is how they constantly dodge your shots but I think the burrower does so more frequently. It's advised to land a few shots on them with the shard barrage till the knockdown kicks in then you can use the Resonator or Designator to finish them off with the final blow. It's just these two jumping critters that I'm having a bit of trouble with, others except for Waterwings and Bileguts I have no problem with.

Great video. I think it's the 1st good break down of the weapon. Most videos are in the "It's cool" camp, but this is informative and helps better understand how to use it. I love this new weapon and have experimented with it and it's nice to see you confirm some of my findings and add some new info I hadn't thought about. Nicely done, and I hit the subscribe button.

I simply love the bows, slinghsots and spears. I am not even interested in making an "OP" build to be able to one-shot huge and high-level machines. I am just playing that game (and every other game) the way it is fun to me. You will be so strong without any "game-breaking" builds or weapons if you are just playing normally and upgrade a few weapons. But I still think it is cool they created this weapon. I tried it for a bit and decided I simply don't need and don't want to use it. But it's always a win for us players when developers are simply giving us more options! 😉

Great video. Well spoken and easy viewing. Thanks.

Really awesome videos. Top notch quality and commentary 💯

if the designator is put on thermotusk side rocket pod thingy, you can trigger a crazy shrapnel explosion at the second shot

Thanks for the video. This is very useful in that the game does not give you much information about the gauntlet and how it should be used.

i started HFW a week a go and i was shocked how different it is from the first game.

bro thinks we won't notice that amazing transition 0:35

Great video

Brittle does effect the damage with the resignator., but since the damage with the Blast is often all over the place, it´s hard to tell how exactly. My guess is that the distance the railgun impacts the resonator and the machines, and the area covered by the explosion damage has a role in it. But with the Sparks damage etc makes it even harder to get accurate test results. I liked that you made the comparison with timer on Full Auto and Semi-Auto, but i wondered if you missed it or did it not yield result? The Full Auto to Nine Shots, lets call it Full9. The Capacitor Size is 10 Shots, if you fire only 9, you never induce the penalty and reload fast. This should be faster (inaccurate measurement and clumsy execution about 8 seconds). If one would master this mode (like the Stormslinger from HZD) one could get the time even lower, and 20 shots would be a bad comparison for it, because you need to reload for 2 shots. Does the Resignator inrease Tear on the Shard Mode? That is acutally a good question: Yes it does, by 1,25 like the EX damage. Tremortusk on UH has 838 HP and 713 Tear Threshold. It took 13 Shots, only the Tear Treshold was breached during it. With Resonator applied it was 10 Shots, again Tear Treshold was reached before HP. IF only EX damage would have been increased, the damage would have not been enough on both Thresholds, to remove the armor plate. I wonder why you recommend Stamina+ over Regeneration? Resignator holds for 15 seconds, you are bound to regain a lot of stamina (if not getting hit to much) and you are at Low Health, with the new Low Health Stamina Skill it´s even more increased ( 6,25 per second instead of 5 and Level 2 Stamina Regen = 2,5 instead of 2 per second). Don´t remember now, you mentioned Knockdown with the EX ammo, but not with the Railgun i think, if you haven´t try it out! Edit: You mentioned increased Knockdown from the Corrosive State, where did you get that info from? I hear it for the first time and i want to know more.

hi, I wanted to ask you something, I just got the specter glove but I don't see the exclamation point on the map to update the glove and what should I do?

All this reminds me is there isn't another game since Horizon Zero Dawn that has animation that is this good.

That thing wrecks sunwings, I got a great time in the arena

I havent gotten this far in the game yet but the ammo is shards meaning it uses your money?

Just curious - didn't they nerf the Specter Gauntlet around the time that you published this video? Was this nerf before or after you published? Thanks in advance. All of your videos are very helpful.

does it works with power shot

Ahtano I wonder how the 24515 dmg was built. A friend of mine did this amazing damage about half a month ago on PS5, he created a designator on machine body then use rail gun to trigger it. white damage 24515.how?

Where can I find this gun???

Great weapon, useless on Ultra Hard tho :/ Having just completed a Platinum and UH NG+ Completion run, (and being stuck on UH for Burning Shores) I liked the Specter Gauntlet when I got it, but had a hard time killing anything using it even against Waterwings on UH. Sadly this weapon IMO (like the Shield-Weaver in HZD) is only useful on lower difficulties

I don't see how I'm using it wrong seeing how I can't buy the dlc for the PS4.

Wait, how do you use the semi automatic mode? I didn't know there was one.

I still think the shard barrage is weak.... the charge up time on the railgun is too long... I don't even use the Gauntlet that much

I like shredder gauntlet

For PC they nerfed the specter gauntel alot its not as good as shown here its actually kinda weak.

😮

railgun does less dmg than my sharpbow

Is this monster hunters sister?
