Learn how to disable and override the stationary Control Towers in Horizon Zero Dawn. Understand their repair and buffing abilities and how to counter them.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate the Control Towers, which are stationary machines found throughout The Cut, often surrounded by other Daemonic machines.
  2. 2
    Observe that Control Towers resemble plants or flowers and have a Cooling Element and three Override Points at their base.
  3. 3
    Understand that Control Towers are not offensive but repair other machines with a regulated pulse and provide shock resistance and stun capabilities to overridden machines.
  4. 4
    To disable these abilities, target and destroy the Cooling Element.
  5. 5
    Alternatively, override the Tower to achieve the same disabling effect.
Tips
  • Disabling the Cooling Element is the primary method to neutralize the Control Tower's support functions.
  • Overriding the Control Tower offers the same benefits as disabling its Cooling Element.
