10 Best Horizon Zero Dawn Weapons

Weapons are the key to Aloy's survival in and luckily for players, the game has an expansive arsenal of weapons fit for any machine hunter. Combat in is all about flexibility, and although Aloy will encounter increasingly dangerous machines on her quest, they can all be defeated in many different ways. If you're a new player, the challenge is figuring out which of the game's trusty bows, slings, and other unconventional gadgets best fit your own playstyle.

Although has lots of weapons to choose from, Aloy can only assign a maximum of four weapons to her weapon wheel at once. This is more restrictive at the start of the game, so focus on the best weapons to buy first during the game's opening hours. From there, you'll get a better idea of which weapons you like best, and don't waste valuable upgrade resources on gear you don't like using.

Aloy's Spear is central to limited melee combat, allowing you to hit enemies with light and heavy attacks. The Spear can be particularly brutal against smaller machines, knocking off components and armor plating or even knocking them prone. This creates openings and weaknesses that you can exploit with ranged attacks.

To improve the Spear, grab spear-specific skills from the Brave Tree. These increase spear damage and allow Aloy to deliver high-damage Critical Hits to downed machines. Critical Hits can even kill smaller machines like Watchers and Scrappers outright, so spear skills are highly recommended even if you're fighting with ranged weapons most of the time.
