Shadow Tripcaster – Best Weapon for Stealth
The Shadow Tripcaster may not be a weapon to use for all occasions in Horizon Zero Dawn, but it most certainly comes in handy if you want to stay undetected while dealing damage.
Tripcasters create traps that detonate when the tripwire connecting the anchor points is broken. Therefore, all you need to do is find out where the machines are walking (either through observation or by checking their patrol paths) and lay one of these down while their back is turned. Plant a few of these and hide in some distant foliage as your enemies fall.
What’s more, the Shadow Tripcaster is capable of using Fire traps, as well as the Shock and Explosive traps used by the Carja Tripcaster. This is now a perfect tool for taking down Snapmaw, Sawtooth, and just about anything else vulnerable to a bit of fire that you might not want to get too close to.
The Shadow Tripcaster costs 750 Metal Shards and one Scrapper Heart.
