Here is what I know about machine biology: when first designing the machines they asked specialists what the biggest flaw on big animals are, they answer a internal skeleton. So most machines are made on a base of synthetic muscle, in the sequel it’s a rare resource and it states apex has purple ones, so the yellow orange glowing are the muscles. On top or woven into that are metal lattices to form structural support and take the same amount of damage, some has almost none and some is majority of it this making a chassis like the bellowback legs or the entire caboose of thunderjaw where actual the wing screw that’s hidden under armor of it’s knee is a secret weak point in game. Then there’s the blaze (and other element) vessels that run around the body as fuel, amo, internal cooling, oiling, refinement and other things depending on its job (puncturing one of those is sure to be problematic). Then there’s the secondary lattices that are on top of muscle as to make the clamps where armor is hold on to and lastly the armor itself. As for the thunderjaw heart, if you compare it to its data nexus you see it has the same texture, in the sequel there’s two more heavy weights that has either a nexus or heart, as bigger machines would require more complex computing. I would argue this ain’t a heart as in biology, but metaphorically, the same as all other machine hearts that a heart of a machine is also their brain, a cpu. On the other hand the circulator is probably more it’s heart for fluids, primary nerve is the spinal cord, lenses are eyes, luminary brain stem and crystal braiding are probably other motherboard cables. As for canisters some theories it’s acrylic as they have to be light and mass produced, the machines can detach them self like snapmaw spine components during sunlight on a beach near a lake after filtering water, but deals extra damage as probably small internal important structures holds on to them when not detached. Other than that’s some machines has exhaust that are brittle when glowing from use/heat and all machines has their eye as very weak points so the cpu is probably nearby, but we can’t blind them and don’t know much of their internal organs even if we scan so they might not have anything major. As for the material, I ain’t a expert but it’s probably different alloys that we haven’t discovered, tho they don’t eat ancient machines nor building lattices so it’s probably rare but also light and structurally resilient without easily shattering, maybe titanium? Tho armor is painted as you can sea wear and tear on it, I don’t remember if apex’s black/gold armor has it tho
9:48 The text clarifying the armor is specifically built to protect the artificial muscles already implies the artificial muscles might be fragile or at least not as durable as the other metal. The arrows are also made using metal shards harvested from machines and old world structures so they likely use the same form of metal in the armor. 20:03 the game already clarified what powers at least some of the machines, blaze. The bellowbacks are explicitly created as a means of harvesting plant matter to convert into blaze and carry back to cauldrons to provide power to the cauldron itself and the other machines and some machines, like striders, have idle animations in which they consume grass. The Faro Plague itself only became a danger because the past machines were built to consume organic matter if low on energy and the virus altered them to suddenly start exclusively relying on organic matter for energy, even if it meant literally eating humans, animals, and plants to the point of destroying the biosphere.
7:46 tho the derangement has only been a thing for 16 years, sure they could have start making better weapons earlier, but it wasn’t necessary until herds started running away, then attack, weaponizing old designs, then new human killers and now apex hunter killers. Also the bow is from the Nora which doesn’t like other tribes so they had to figure it out themselves and their ain’t real any dangerous machines in their land except for one thunderjaw near the wind dynamos…..I’m overthinking this
Recurve does not have less distance, their disadvantage is durability and delamination in the times where they were used in war due to their construction
maybe that "heart" is also a part of hydraulic system that responsible for moving the machine. i'd not to take seriously visual design in this game, because, you know, it's more depending on 3d-designer-girls work than practical engineering. I mean, modern games are suffering of this type of artwork, designing and 3d-modeling, when some girl with Blender just putting as many details and assets to model as she can (no offense to girls just stupid stereotype in my chauvinistic head). Look at least at her boots 4:35 what is the purpose of that rope netting, to cling to bushes while you hunting in the forest? I think these boots are very uncomfortable to wear anywhere except cosplay festival.
the purpose of that netting is to hold the armor plate at the top in place. it fits snugly to the leg and wouldn't get caught on bushes or branches. what's with this weird-ass out-of-nowhere misogynistic take? where's this even coming from?
@@sn1pertoaster then why other shoe hasn't that netting but has the plate? Plate is fixated with rope. I also told, specially for you, that i didn't want to offend any girls, i told it's just a stupid stereotype. Of course, guys can be stupid too, and of course girls can be smart. That's your problems, if you need special annotation about this
@@Slormpington Not that dumb, when i played horizen when i was like 11, i never upgraded or bought any new weapons. I also did not know how to upgrade the starter backpack. So my first playthrough was kinda scuffed lmao

This is really good, make more oh them videos

If you think the first one is good, just wait until you play the sequel, it’s amazing

But in combat, you don't need to hold particularly long anyways to aim, as seen throughout history of war bows
