I know this is late to the party, but for me the bolt blaster is the best weapon for bring these guys down. Start with frost arrows until he is fully under the frost effect. Then use the bolt blaster to target his LEGS. By targeting his legs you can be sure that the sac webbing with stay intact. Use the 'sustained fire' skill from the Hunter tree for even faster results.
Been on a binge to fully upgrade ALL the weapons and armor. I must have had to collect about 30 frost/fireclaw sac weebings by now (and I'm only half through inventory). Ice and really powerful hunter arrows (double or triple notched) to the face or components brings them down fast from a distance they won't usually have a chance to spot me (if I start with them facing the other direction). Fire arrows for frostclaws. They're always apex for me by now. There's a spot near yosimite where there's usually two frostclaws I take them out at the same time. At first tho they were nearly impossible but them legendary upgrades and purple upgrades keep sending me back to the same components again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. By now I've learned how to take them down fast. Same with thunder jaws in the same loadout... freeze, tear their components to weaken it. Then boom. Rince and repeat. I"m kinda annoyed with the grind session but at least it doesn't best me much anymore. So anyway, remember... maxed out ice arrows followed by maxed out hunter arrows with high impact or tear to the face or components on the back will take them down really quickly. Keep plenty of distance. Don't fully draw, not needed. Fast attacks are key here. Start when they are facing away from you to give more time before they can spot you.
you can actually kill any machine from stealth without aggroing the enemy or taking damage. If you shoot an enemy with a single arrow, he will go into yellow Alert mode, But as long as he cannot see you he will not attack So relax, wait for him to return to blue, then shoot again,. works great for fireclaw's and getting the Sac webbing. Note if you hit him with a high damage weapon, double or triple shot, he may go red immediately even if you are in stealth.
@@justwait9822 The webbing is the big yellow Blaze Container on his belly. Which is extremely fragile. If you go in guns blazing. you will more often than not end up destroying the Webbing... Far better to use stelth where you can target your shot without him erupting volcano's under you😎 th-cam.com/video/k_DABZFEYcM/w-d-xo.html
@@benjaminsisko4519 I know I've collected a ton of them already. I'm just saying that it's faster to go back into stealth by dropping a smoke bomb and running into another bush than to use low damage single arrows and wait for the icon to go back to blue.
@@justwait9822 Doesn't have to be low damage, I was doing almost 1,500 a shot, 3 shots 1.39 sec and he's down. (Story Difficulty since we're farming for upgrade parts)
@@benjaminsisko4519 I was only talking about your strat of shooting single arrows and waiting for the indicator to turn blue again. But if we're talking story mode farming I just tested my setup on a fireclaw on story. I one shotted him, I think they only have about 2500hp.
The best regular arrows to use against him is the Delta Sharpshot arrows wth armor piercing. They do massive damage. Just make sure not to shoot the sacs. Go for the feet, the center plate on his head, and the canisters on his back. Your fight will go a lot faster.
This doesn't work anymore ive try 10 times and even those arrows are still popping the item

Unfortunately I am at a point in the game where all those frostclaw and fireclaw are all apex predators. 😂 And let me tell you it is extremely difficult to kill these guys without damaging their stomachs.
Yep, Late to the party too. Didn't realize how valuable animal bones are. Traded them for a truckload of shards after maxing my pouch capacity for all items. Now I need a a ton of fireclaw webbing to upgrade the legendary. Purple iceblaster works well too especially on tremortusk using story mode. It's all about resource gathering. No shame. Bump up the difficulty again for the fun stuff.
Power shot valor surge (hunter skill) works too with advance sharp shoot arrows on long-range stealth shots on 4 glow blast canisters on his butt or the 2 shoulder blaze sacs. Equip bow with stealth shot, over draw , critical chance damage. Each shot will destroy or remove the components cause 1000++ to 2000++ damage. I got him with 3 shots. Shoot and hide, shoot and hide 😅😉 I think its the delta Sharp shoot bow from arena, trade with hunting ground medals. Just don't damage the main big blaze sac on the torso
This is what I do. I tag him and the track and highlight the Blaze Unit so it is highlighted for me. Then Brace Shot his back or ass, run and hide and repeat. It’s still huge pain but at least it’s faster. These Fireclaws are huge tanks. Even on Story Mode it took forever to kill them.
I just go on story difficultly then shoot them with Electric arrows instantly downs them then I run up to them stab and repeat plus story difficultly gives you all the items they have on them
If you hit the sack with impact damage it will blow up 100% of the time if delt enough damage so just avoid hitting it alltogether. Just keep hitting him in the legs with drillspikes when he stands up on two legs so he will fall over and smack him with impact damage on the cannisters on top of his back or on his butt, that will deal decent damage , just make sure you don’t hit the sacks on his shoulders either cause they will explode and take the big one with it.
Use the notebook when looking for specific parts. It shows you where not to shoot. For this guy you can do stealth or frost and leg shots. It does have higher damage areas on his back. Also, if it has any friends, kill the first.
This pissed me off no end. Then, I did hit and run tactics. Hide in grass and take note of other close grass patches. When the bear is walking away from you (at a great distance), hit the canisters on its rear until all gone. Fire and move to fresh grass. Repeat until it's dead. You can hit the yellow areas on its shoulder and upper back, but DON'T SHOOT THE BELLY!
Dude, use everything without hitting the chest. Best to use drill spikes and keep dropping him. Using arrows with his armor plates on will take forever. And freeze him always
I need sac webbing from a frostclaw. Quite similiar to this one here, I think. Anyway, everytime I go into hiding after attacking, to avoid his long range attacks and come back to shoot him, his health bar is fully restored and I have to start all over again. It‘s so frustrating… Is this a bug??? Please, anyone, help!!!
I had to deal with an Apex one and lemme tell it was scary as hell, the utaru winterweave did not do the job so i used the tenakth tactican and also smoke bombs bc its much easier to run away rather than being chased
Also i used carjas bane(weapon) its risky bit does a lot of dps, how I did, is after frost is out and no longer can do damage i use smoke bomb and go behind its back, freeze it again and spam with the carjas bane from behind without hitting the sac and also used the critical boost skill for more damage ofc
I already platinum hfw but I gotta say this video just got notified to me because a week back im like OMG I GIVE UP! may go back to it soon cuz imma just waiting for new game plus
This is impossible, tried this and several other tips, but no matter what the sac sets on fire everytime! I gave up after about 30 attempts and that's on normal mode!
I almost had a fireclaw sac yesterday and managed to screw that up somehow….. but even more embarrassing is that I didn’t think of saving right before going in for the fight…. 🤦♂
Yeah doing this on Ultra Hard is making my life miserable. Need this to upgrade Legacy’s Reach. Think I’ll focus on finishing the store before it will let me change difficulty.
Kill them the way I tell you in the video. Getting the sac webbing usually means killing them slower. Non apex are more likely in the day for lower level characters.
They had to put the webbing in such a shitty spot. Like the way it moves you end up shooting the sac even if you put so much effort to avoid it, like idk how you would get it without just fucking hacking the game
No matter what I do the sac always explodes and Ive killed 30 of them. It's getting stupid and Ive lost interest. Why would they put this mechanic in? This is the dumbest shit Ive seen in a video game in years. It doesnt matter if I tickle him with a feather on his back- he explodes. So fucking dumb. No explosives, just ice and an under powered warrior bow (another dumb mechanic). I just burn through resources and get nothing... I have over 20 FC apex hearts for my troubles.... yay.
Use a good sharpshot bow. Use only L2+R2 shots. Get forgefall in the arena or the Glowblast from Thornmarsh. Use the damage arrows on the sharpshot bow only. Only use enough ice arrows to get the status effect timer started.
Ugh getting the sac webbing is so annoying. You have to kill a bazillion frostclaws fireclaws and slitherfangs to upgrade everything
Fireclaws - REGULAR arrows !!!! GOT IT, thank you sir. Going to try that in a few. Thanks !!!!!
Oh and one more thing turn on story mode to make it more easier
I know this is late to the party, but for me the bolt blaster is the best weapon for bring these guys down. Start with frost arrows until he is fully under the frost effect.

Yooo I’m going home right now and trying your method.
Thanks this worked
U sir are a hero thanks a lot !
Thanks a lot this so much easier. Used bolt blaster with piercing bolts and my range master and he was down for the count
I do the same lol
*Picard facepalm* I was taking them down quickly and not getting any. It never occurred to me I was destroying them! Thank you!!!

Faster to just hit em, throw a smoke bomb and run into another bush and repeat.

You can also do electrical elements to sun him for a few seconds to get extra hits on him
Just use strikethrough precision arrows Regalla's wrath. You can shoot them anywhere and it won't effect the sac webbing
Thanks for all the tips, worked better than what I was doing lol

Ty, I take my comment back. Kept blowing it up.
I shoot, go under water, shoot, go under water etc.
If you lose him look on your compass.

Better tactic: tie him down with a ropecaster, then target weak spots from behind. Also slide + roll is better for dodging.
Interesting. Never used ropecaster much in either game.
Acid arrows are best for me here because they do extra damage over time while I shoot it in the legs and back
Dude, use everything without hitting the chest. Best to use drill spikes and keep dropping him. Using arrows with his armor plates on will take forever. And freeze him always
Arrows r more precise
Thank you for this!!!!!
couple this method with critical boost valor surge...really adds up
Good tip. I’m not trying to kill him fast. I just want to kill him with the sac webbing. I like to save my valor surge for the ammo glitch.
This helped. I kept blowing it up

If you run out of line of site he respawns. You can use long range attacks. Don’t use explosive ammo or braced shots.
@@LinusWilson thanks! But where is the line of site??? 🤷🏻♂️
@@lotharhempel open your map, you should see a yellow area in which the machine will usually respawn/restart
i need frost claw sac webbing what would you suggest i use for em, Frost and spike?
Kill several frost claws
Well its more annoying with getting Apex Fireclaw hearts. That’s the most annoying thing in this game
I’m shocked you have to do the Couldren takes forever then even more difficult to find the parts to activate the override 😢

doing this on the lowest difficulty and yet it hasn't dropped in 5 kills?

I almost had a fireclaw sac yesterday and managed to screw that up somehow….. but even more embarrassing is that I didn’t think of saving right before going in for the fight…. 🤦♂
Today I may or may not have finally gotten this. 🙂😈It took about 2 or 3 Fireclaw re-spawns before I was able to finally get it.
Thanks thanks!
FINALLY a person who gets it! Thanks for explaining why after 8 dead frost/fire claws I still have to sac webbing…
Facts I'm like damn and I'm playing on hard lol
The lady at the museum will give you frost claw sac webbing to trade for a black box from one of the planes.
Yo, just avoid the big sack on his chest. Use drill spikes after freezing him and youll down him on very hard in about 2 minutes.
I am playing on hardest difficulty and this cursed webbing gera destroying by every fart. And you need a ton of anything to freeze.
WTF? For 40 hours I've been trying to get these sacs with tear arrows without success, and I had to do is kill them with no elements?
Yeah doing this on Ultra Hard is making my life miserable. Need this to upgrade Legacy’s Reach. Think I’ll focus on finishing the store before it will let me change difficulty.
How are you in the daylight? I’m always ending up fighting in the dark
Go to a shelter and change day to night if you want day time
Dude I killed god knows how many in 3 hours and haven’t got any are they all apex? Is that why I have never seen a regular one
Kill them the way I tell you in the video. Getting the sac webbing usually means killing them slower. Non apex are more likely in the day for lower level characters.
@@LinusWilson yes sorry didn’t realize that I was destroying the sack lol thank you bro
I've got a level 60 apex on hard 😅 on my 20th attempt to get this part 😂
Seems you're playing on lower difficulty. It takes ~3 double frost arrows to freeze the dude on higher difficulty.
I said I was playing on normal difficulty
Ta Linus, Good advice. Think I need better weapons thou...:(
They had to put the webbing in such a shitty spot. Like the way it moves you end up shooting the sac even if you put so much effort to avoid it, like idk how you would get it without just fucking hacking the game
u ran like hell XD XD
Pull out balls. Drop heavy object on balls. Repeat.
Just lower game to story mode and smack him with the stick lol
IDK the spear May break the webbing. Use frost and regular arrows only.
@@LinusWilson I was being. Goofy but if u just lower difficulty it’s very easy with anything
dam i need 7 of them
Someone atleast tells it
Thank youuuuuuuu
I'm getting so frustrated with this game atm. Why are these fireclaws always apex!
I’ve always hated this part. Getting the Storm Cannon was a lot easier than this shit.
Most annoying machine to fight. It’s not even close.
This guy is bad at remembering the position of his target.
1. Put the game in “story” mode. Lololo
No matter what I do the sac always explodes and Ive killed 30 of them. It's getting stupid and Ive lost interest. Why would they put this mechanic in? This is the dumbest shit Ive seen in a video game in years. It doesnt matter if I tickle him with a feather on his back- he explodes. So fucking dumb.

Use a good sharpshot bow. Use only L2+R2 shots. Get forgefall in the arena or the Glowblast from Thornmarsh. Use the damage arrows on the sharpshot bow only. Only use enough ice arrows to get the status effect timer started.
You just need to aim better. You’re shooting the sacs and causing them to explode. Warrior bow isnt the best choice because it’s not very accurate.
