Learn how to find and defeat the Deadfalls Rebel Outpost in Horizon Forbidden West. Includes strategies for taking down rebels and Chargers, and locating the Strongarm Hunter Bow.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To find the Deadfalls Rebel Outpost, travel southwest of The Daunt to Chainscrape. Speak with Javad the Willing and Ulvund to start The Bristlebacks side quest, which will lead you to the outpost. Alternatively, you can travel directly to the outpost, which will automatically start the quest.
  2. 2
    Approach the outpost, hiding in the grass to take out Rebel Soldiers on the edge.
  3. 3
    The outpost contains four Rebel Soldiers (one mounted) and five Chargers. Utilize high ground to your advantage.
  4. 4
    Use a Sharpshot Bow to pick off the rebels from a distance. Be aware they may deploy Slingblast bombs.
  5. 5
    After dealing with the rebels, take down the Chargers, which can be easily dispatched with Silent Strikes.
  6. 6
    Alternatively, use the nearby river to infiltrate the camp from various points along the walls.
  7. 7
    Once all enemies are defeated, proceed to the northeastern end of the camp to find a raised drawbridge.
  8. 8
    Look southeast from the drawbridge for a Generous Supply Cache containing the Strongarm Hunter Bow.
  9. 9
    Return to the drawbridge. Lower the first half using the wheels.
  10. 10
    Shoot the ropes holding the far side of the drawbridge to lower it completely, creating a path forward.
  11. 11
    Explore northeast to find a pit, confirming Aloy's suspicions.
  12. 12
    Return to Javad the Willing in Chainscrape to complete the objective. Note that unlike other outposts, all enemies must be defeated here to progress.
