Eventide Ropecaster (Rare)

Learn how to get, use, and upgrade the Eventide Ropecaster in Horizon Forbidden West. This rare Carja Ropecaster specializes in Shock Ropes and tying down machines.

This Carja Ropecaster specializes in tying down targets and firing Shock Ropes which inflict damage over time. It can be upgraded to improve its reload speed.

The Eventide Ropecaster is best used when fighting larger machines that are susceptible to Shock Damage. It's great to have equipped at all times, then when you stumble across a flying Machine, you’ll be able to fire a Binding Ropes at it to prevent it from moving away. Additionally, if the Machine is weak to Shock Damage, then use the Shock Ropes to tie the machine down as well as dealing elemental damage.

You can purchase the Eventide Ropecaster from the Hunter who has set up camp at Salt Bite. You’ll need a Canister Burrower Circulator, which is an uncommon drop from Burrowers.
