If you are unsure of the difficulty setting I used for this build or any other builds. Here is a video comparing the build-in both Story mode as well as Very Hard: th-cam.com/video/xltYjKRf3FE/w-d-xo.html
The Rattler was the same way. Everybody always thought it was a joke weapon, but ice slings coupled with the rattler was the most op weapon from Zero Dawn.
@@antwonmartinez8520 not hating just wondering. The rattler was actually my favorite weapon design prior to icerail, I just never really used it cause I didn't think it could be that good. I'll hafta try it when I'm done with forbidden west
I never used bolt blasters until I saw this video. I slept on the Bolt blaster so hard😂 good job dude! I use the Suns Scourge for the freeze effect to save on weapon stamina and it does the job with all freeze coils and I used 2 purple crit coils with 3 blue impact coils on the bolt blaster. This pretty much stuns every big machine I've come across except the Stormbird that flew up too high to hit in the middle of the R1 attack. Other than that, awesome strat video! I saw it just in time to beat the zenith boss fights to melt them in seconds!😎
Knowing how OP my Rattler was, Boltblasters were just an upgrade for me. But going from a burst fire to a full on minigun?! That was a special treat in of itself ♡♡
dam thats mental lol i came across my first boltblaster today and was unsure about it as im a stealth archer playstyle kinda guy but may consider this for the big guys where stealth aint always available, short n sweet vid and to the point cheers for this
After watching this video, I think I might need to start using the bolt blaster. Never used the Rattler in Zero Dawn. Since it's an upgraded version of the Rattler, thought it was a waste of time
I got bored and started using the Blastforge and holy shit this is so much fun to use. Long Range 25 x 3, Elite Crit and Crit 15 and it can take down an Apex Fireclaw without reloading.
I actually kinda decided that Spread Blast is the better Weapon Skill considering it can actually Crit, and since this weapon has a Crit Chance boost anyway it just makes sense to go with a Crit build. Close Range and Crit Chance Coils along w the Crit Boost Valor Surge really work great with this. Freezing first is of course always still the way to go. I kinda prefer good ole Advanced Frost Arrows to freeze tho since they hardly require any Weapon Stamina other than Triple Notch which you can just do before the battle thus saving your Stamina for the Spread Blasts.
@@here2there880 I check. There was a valor that allows instant loading. He might be using that. As for speed coils... I use them too. None are that fast. Coils to speed up the drawing or overdraw... also doesn't seems to speed up that much. However... I've watched some videos where play seems to have instantly overdraw spike thrower too. I just don't get how??? Also... these players don't seems to have suffer any glitch while me on the other hands, suffered dozens of glitches... Including black screen that update 1.07 also doesn't seems to have it fixed.
That shit crazy af 🤣🤣🤣 I’m over here having that big ass elephant beat my ass. Lol also to I’m slow because I got the weapons but I didn’t chain them like this.
Interesting... Do Piercing Bolts really do more damage than the Advanced Bolts when you freeze the enemy first? I'd think if you Freeze them first that Advanced Bolts might be better, but I haven't tested it so not sure.
Can Boltblasters not get Crits? Cus I would think it would be even more OP w Crit Boost. But it seems others have tried but it wont' do crits. What's up w that?
So one thing I don't get is when looking at their health bar they still have over half their health & then they just kind of all of the sudden die..... Why? Is their Health Bar lagging or something?
From what I understand there's 2 bars overlaid: Dark red and light red. Dark red is the actual health and the monster dies the moment it hits 0. The light red is just to visualize your DPS, it goes down after a delay, based on the (chained) damage you are dealing. Bigger light red bar = you did more damage.
@@dennisc3438 Lol it's kind of annoying when bird wildlife takes like 5 seconds to die because your single Hunter Arrow somehow decides to deal it's damage over time for.... reasons? If it's in flight when you shoot it or about to be, it does this annoying shiz & doesn't die right away, and ends up flying even further away before it actually drops.
Hey man I use the same build it is ridiculously OP 🤣🤣 But why don’t you use the advanced bolts the stats say that they do more dmg or is it that piercing bolts do more damage through armor idk
@@Alareth Yeah! Holy Lord of all cows! Lord forbid someone has much fun with the ingame toys added by Guerrilla Games themself! No we want them sad,frustrating and mad all the time lets nerf the toys! Hallelujah! Give me a fckin AMEN
Yeah but with the right coils l can kill these machine's on UH with one shot from the Sun Scourge and then three from Iriv's Downfall much faster, and without Valor Surge. Seriously...
can you email me your game save ? i have a program that lets me access other saves and mod them for ps4, please send it to me and ill send you the program to check out yourself

Really ? I kinda doubt that tbh....
@@TheMasterofBlu no no, it’s true, I used the combo on a thinderjaw and it was crazy, so don’t hate till you try it

This has harder crafting stuff tho so you do have to use it less
In fairness compared to this
The rattler is a joke

crit doesnt work with Sustain Burst Weapon Technique
Damn, the Fireclaw theme from Zero Dawn fits this weapons destruction power perfectly

I loved frost+rattler in zero dawn. Now I love boltblasters as well.
dam thats mental lol i came across my first boltblaster today and was unsure about it as im a stealth archer playstyle kinda guy but may consider this for the big guys where stealth aint always available, short n sweet vid and to the point cheers for this
boltblasters were insane in zero dawn. combined with the skills alongside aloy she gets a wrecking machine...
This is what ive been looking for, stuff that i dont have to test! Nice ceep it up🔥
I love using the Rattler. Now a better version with range. Yes!
Bolt blaster and rattler in zero dawn were always my favorite weapons so OP
I've just got this thought in my head of Aloy saying "get some, get some, get some, get some, beyatch"
between these and the explosive slingshots, tilda and erik never stood a chance.
I beat Erik in 10 seconds and Tilda in 15 with this strategy, using smokes and Stam potions to load up my weapon again haha
The drawback of bolt blaster is its damn expensive. Sharpshot and shredder is still necessary to take out small to medium machines.
Really? What difficulty are you playing on I just don’t seem to run out of volatile sludge lol even on hard
This strategy with smokes and Stam potions is op, when you run out of stam and ammo throw a smoke, drink a potion, reload and keep firing

I'm currently using the same strategy with hunter bows.

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

With that music looks so epic
how /where did you get frost coil?
Thank you so much
Nice DPS, but arent you burning thru more cost in ammo than you're getting back in loot ?
how do your meter fills very quickly that you can perform it twice in a short time?
Where do you find rare impact damage coils?
wow your builds are pre OP
How you reload so fast?
Might have reload speed coils on the weapon.
@@here2there880 I check. There was a valor that allows instant loading. He might be using that.

How do u use it i activated the ability but I didn’t know how to use this

What Valor Surge are you using?
looks like ranged master
"say hello to my little friend"
im more of a sharpbow guy but this is insane asf, forgot to say where can i get those 2 weapons tho
This is like HBG type monster hunter vibe
Can Boltblasters not get Crits? Cus I would think it would be even more OP w Crit Boost. But it seems others have tried but it wont' do crits. What's up w that?
Might try it... I've just been using the spikes...
How do I get the icestorm boltblaster?
MOFOS BE OUT HERE ALREADY BECOMING GODKILLERS FFS XD
Much Love from Puerto Rico, God bless you ^_^
Where do you get those two weapons?
The Legendary one can be bought for 80 medals at the Arena, the other one I dont know

The lighter bar is actually dmg over time or DoT
@@aaronmathis4436 right, I figured this out after a while. Guess it was kind of hard to see on my phone vs a desktop.

Where i can get Icestrom boltblaster?
Awsome! Keep doing it!
How are you switching these weapons?
Enable it at "options > controls > weapon quick swap 'on' " and to use it in game you press L1 once to go to your previously held weapon
@@coling4226 THANKS FRIEND
man i just wann say if ur planning to make more builds any new game involving builds just make it. ur very smart with these builds
Where was that dreadwing at?
IIRC near the spot on the map marked Latopolis. (Didn't show there for me until I encountered a dreadwing as part of the story)
Unreal. 🤯
I don't understand. When I try to use it, it doesn't shoot like that.
Dat :01 second spoiler. Damn. Lol that’s cool I’ll get to eventually do that
Waiting for de stormslinger, forgefire and icerail in the DLC
Only the icerail for me. But, the power shot does the same.
No wonder there are no assault rifles in Horizon
Holy shit 🤯
FIRECLAW CAN MAKE THE WHOLE NORA LAND HELL 💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
0:50 She Is So Pretty ❤️🤤😭
Its Like A Gun
Op weapon
Whats the point if it's that easy
Holly fuck !!!
BUT WHERE THE TF DO I FIND THE WEAPONS...
Like carrying a minigun lol
First and I love using those I only have a rare one atm
All weapons are crazy strong if you play in story difficulty, lol
He plays on very hard tho 😎
Jesus H. Christ
The animation of Aloy caressing her face when you use the skill is really damn stupid though
Lol she’s putting war paint on…not caressing her face🙄
Sniffing her fingers after…. 😂
I don't like bolt blasters.
Shredders are better
But I guess doing this is post game stuff so tbh is really useless
needs nerf a bit damage broken.
"Hey! Hey! Someone is having fun in a single player game! Someone needs to stop it!"
The valor surge is what's providing the damage buff
