Tips and Strategies

Defeat the Scrappers First

Horizon Zero Dawn - A Moment
Kill the Scrappers first after heading down to the camp. It will be hard for you to take out the Ravager if other enemies are distracting and attacking you. A Sharpshot Bow will deal increased damage against their Radar part, so make sure to use it. Or you can use a Shock Arrow to their Power Cell behind their backs to stun them and kill them while they're unable to move.
