Shadow Ropecaster – Best Weapon for Immobilizing Machines
The Shadow Ropecaster is the best weapon in Horizon Zero Dawn for immobilizing machines and keeping them in one place. For those unfamiliar with the Ropecasters in Horizon Zero Dawn, these fire off large ropes which attach to the machine and pin it in one place.
The Shadow Ropecaster deals 150 points of Tear damage, which isn’t too shabby considering you’ll likely be able to deal a critical hit or hit the machine’s weak points hard while they’re immobilized, too.
It’s also worth noting that the Shadow Ropecaster is the best weapon for immobilizing machines in Horizon Zero Dawn because its ropes are stronger. This means that machines will be immobilized with fewer ropes, and will struggle to break free from them for longer.
This weapon will set you back 500 Metal Shards and one Snapmaw Heart from any merchant.
