How to Clear Greatrun Hunting Grounds

Video Walkthrough

Parts Wrangling Trial Tips

Use Tie Rope Heavy


Tramplers are very bulky machines, and are a bit hard to tie down with light rope. We recommend using Ropecasters with Tie Rope Heavy so you won't use up too much ammo before finishing your task.

Use high Damage Arrows

Use Hardpoint Arrows to inflict heavy damage on the Processors. We recommend the Banuk Striker Bow with a high base Damage of 70 and base Tear of 90 for the job. Remember you want to shoot as many arrows and destroy the Processors before the Trampler gets back on its feet. You can also jump and aim to slow down time.

Pace Trial Tips

Plan your route ahead

The Watcher corpses will always be in the same place. There will be markers on the locaiton of the corpses, but you can choose the route that fits your preferred playstyle.

Tie Down Trial Tips

Get the Glinthawk's attention

Alert the Glinthawk of your presence with a few arrows and it'll glide lower. Once it's alerted of your presence, switch from Bow to Ropecaster.

Get your Ropecaster ready


Quickly change weapons and shoot multiple Tie Rope Heavy shots to bring the Glinthawk down. We recommend the Shadow Ropecaster or the Lodge Ropecaster for maximum ease.

Execute a Critical Strike

Once the Glinthawk is pinned down, move around it until the prompt "Critical Hit" appears and quickly press the assigned button to kill the Glinthawk.
