Horizon Forbidden West Fans Are Only Just Finding Out About a Devastating Attack | Push Square
Horizon Forbidden West's upcoming expansion, Burning Shores (launching 19th April), requires players to beat the base game to access it. So it seems wayward players (perhaps distracted by Elden Ring's untimely launch) are returning in droves to take care of unfinished business.
In the process, some are encountering a rare attack, specifically at the hands of Leaplashers. The kangaroo-like Transport class machine can be surprisingly intimidating (much like their real-world inspiration) and, in certain circumstances, can temporarily immobilise Aloy using an energy lasso.
We think the lasso comes out of the Leaplasher's tail, but it's hard to be sure, what with the tail then being used to support the mechanical beasties' weight. Have you fallen victim to this rare attack or seen it in use before? Get to the bottom of things in the comments section below.
Khayl Adam is the second best video game journalist Australia has ever produced, and his ambitions of world domination have (thus far) been curbed by the twin siren songs of strategy games and CRPGs. He has always felt an affinity with the noble Dachshund.
Huh… Near a hundred hrs in as well and don't remember seeing that attack either. Crazy. Kangaroos are ruthless, so it fits. Cool to see ppl still discovering things in that world.
Please guerilla, if you make another. Ditch the icon ridden map and way point driven hub. Make people explore your gorgeous and meticulously crafted world, and for the love of G, implement actual free climbing.
Yeah never seen that actually despite a similar amount of hours played. But then I absolutely hate those things and avoid them whenever possible.
Cool though.
