    I 100% agree with using your traps a lot, and though I have not played forbidden west yet I have been replaying zero dawn and the traps have absolutely carried my. Don't get me wrong they diffidently are not that necessary in some parts, like I was usually 5 and above levels for the recommended level so I was usually fine even on hard mode. But still laying 6 traps in one spot and instantly dealing 1 third or some times even a half of that thunder jaws health is an amazing feeling. And as a mentioned a don't know particularly if things changed so I will be going off zero dawn. DO NOT UNDER UNDER ESTIMATE THE ROPE CASTER. Though the trap life style is resource expensive if you can plant loads of traps including the trip caster then you can instantly do lots of damage then tie them down and plant a bunch more bombs and traps but beware though obviously this strategy is not as effective when there is multiple enemys.

    • @sun.t5441
      @sun.t5441 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      True !
      But I don’t agree with the last part. Traps are definitely amazing in front of 2 or 3 enemies. I use them to lure them out when the battle is engaged. Anyway, traps are useful but I’m usually not patient enough to put them down, so using the rope one while fighting is the best option for me

    I was the opposite I used a lot of traps in zero Dawn but when it comes to forbidden wash I don't like the traps nor do I like the truck system so I don't use them at all like ever except for when it's required to do so like that one trial in the hunting grounds for example. Horizon forbidden West completely nerfed the Trapper skill

    I hope that you are aware that when you are in the weapon wheel you can still Dodge and move out of the way of enemies in slow-motion whilst you are picking your weapon or making more ammo for it.... how slow is your hand-eye coordination or how picky are you that you have to turn it down all the way... in fact if you utilize that right it right you can get some matrix-style dodges outta it...
    It's one of those little secrets that a lot of people don't know like how you actually become invincible for a few seconds as you go into Valor surge mode

    The Skill trees are too much, and I stuck with mainly the Bows since all other weapons just didn't feel right to use, they nerfed the Ropecaster...they put too many campfires in the game. I wish they stuck with one weapon from each class and let you pick and choose Ammunition for each weapon and so on. would have benefitted from a block and parry system as well. The Shield Wing could have been used as a Shield along with being a Glider. overall it's a great game...just some systems felt too much such as the Skill trees, could have combined the skill trees, and had less campfires overall.
