Complete the Heavy Weapons Trial in horizon forbidden west. Full Stripes requires 3:00, breaking cannons off the Tremortusk and using them to kill Clawstriders.
Location: The Hunting Grounds is located southwest of Fall’s Edge village or northeast of Thornmarsh village. Look for a large, brown clearing on your map.
Walkthrough
- 1The objective is to break off the cannons from the Tremortusk's back and then use those cannons to kill three Clawstriders.
- 2Use a weapon with good Tear damage to break off the cannons. This should only take a few shots, despite some light armor.
- 3The Tremortusk will attack you throughout the trial.
- 4The cannons fire slow-moving electric energy balls, and the Clawstriders are fast and can dodge these shots.
- 5Each cannon has six shots, and multiple shots are needed to defeat a Clawstrider.
- 6You can attempt to aggro only one Clawstrider at a time.
- 7If your only goal is the Quarter Stripes rank, you can try killing the Tremortusk first before dealing with the Clawstriders.
Tips
- Use your Focus to tag the Cannons on the Tremortusk for easier spotting.
- Ensure you use Tear Ammo specifically to remove the Cannons; other damage types will destroy them instead.
- Consider using the Part Breaker Valor Surge from the Machine Master skill tree. When fully upgraded (Level 3), removing a component will knock the Tremortusk down, providing a brief window to focus on the Clawstriders.
- To make defeating Clawstriders easier, use normal weapons to lower their health first, so only a single cannon shot is needed.
