Horizon Forbidden West machine headshots compilation 1/5.

I wanted to do a summary of my headshots (not including tallnecks, which had their own compilation already) coz I think they look pretty good en masse. One or two machines are technically missing from my collection (grimhorn and specter prime) but neither are available to snap post-game (and I'm not yet mentally prepared for playthrough #4). Hopefully you'll forgive me.

Anyway, here we go. These are in no particular order, but I did pair them up according to some strange connections my brain made.

Skydrifter - Leaplasher (team irksome)

Redeye watcher - Clawstrider (team sunset)

Sunwing - Waterwing (team flappy bird)

Plowhorn - Clamberjaw (team redwood)

Rockbreaker - Bellowback (team firestarter)

These are some shots of a Repair Pod, a pod found after a Leaplasher is summoned via reinforcements. I got these shots after fighting the herd just outside of Cauldron: MU, though Leaplashers are also incredibly common in No Man’s Land and the Northern Desert Clan Territories.

This is one of three pods, the other ones include a Radar Pod (Which I’ve actually discussed previously!) and a Noxious Pod. These pods are unable to be found under Leaplasher parts in the notebook, as they’re not guaranteed to show up. When harvested, they provide basic materials such as Braided Wire and Machine Muscle. The first two images show how it looks before being harvested, and the last two show how it looks after

As the name implies, this pod is used primarily as a support tool, and it can repair machines near it. This is the only of the pods to not impact Aloy directly, as the Noxious ones create a cloud that drains health, and the Radar ones prevent use of the Focus and give work as a tracker of sorts.

Bonus:

Aloy's facial expressions are priceless and I'll make a separate post about them some time.

This is a Radar Pod, one of the pods carried by Leapslashers in their Cargo Claw, which is a claw located in their chest. These specific pods, alongside Repair Pods and Noxious Pods, can only be dropped by Leapslashers that were called in for support by other machines. The main purpose of these particular Pods is to prevent you from using the Focus for 35 seconds, however it can also be used to find the player in tall grass with a scan. Even after the machine has dropped the Pod, it can still be triggered, temporarily disabling the Focus.

What are your favorite machines in HFW? Which do you hatte crossing paths with? Are there any machines you wish you could ride that you can't? Did you love the Land God mission? 🥺

Okay so I hate actually fighting them but like--I love Leaplashers. Just bouncy little dudes down for a scrap. They're really cute!!! Plus @tjerra14 recently dropped that, in German, their name is translated as "Jumpthug," and that's just the perfect amount of ridiculous to make me fall further in love.

Meanwhile, Clamberjaws can fuck off. Just like. Uh-uh, no thanks.

At this point we should be allowed to ride a Stormbird. Come on. Let me live, Guerrilla!!

The Land God quest was definitely one of the bright points of the game!!! It's adorable when they all sing, and I also love that Aloy gains valor if you bounce into them thereafter, hehehe.
