Stealth killed 10 machines

To earn this trophy, acquire the Silent Strike skill early in the game. Use it to sneak up on weaker machines like Watchers or Striders in the starting area. Crouching in tall grass will help you remain hidden.

3 Strikes From Above

Purchase the Strike from Above skill (requires Silent Strike). Get above enemies (human or machine) and use the prompt to perform this maneuver for a kill. Lure Call and rocks can help position enemies.

Tore off 10 components

Break off 10 machine components using attacks, preferably with high Tear damage. Tearblast Arrows, available with the Carja Sharpshot Bow, are highly effective.

10 Vulnerable machine kills

Kill 10 machines while they are under the effect of burning or frozen, to which they are weak. A meter above the machine indicates when the status effect is applied. Weaknesses: Fire - Sawtooths, Glinthawks, Corrupters, Ravagers, Snapmaws, Corrupted Machines. Freeze - Tramplers, Fire Bellowbacks, Rockbreakers.

Tore off 5 heavy weapons

Break off and use 5 heavy weapons from larger machines, such as the Thunderjaw's Disc Launchers. Tearblast Arrows are effective for removal.

7 types of machines overridden

Unlock and use the overrides for 7 different machine types. Completing Cauldrons (marked by blue triangles) unlocks overrides. Each Cauldron unlocks specific machine overrides: PHI (Tallnecks, Watchers, Striders, Broadheads, Chargers), SIGMA (Sawtooths, Scrappers, Grazers, Lancehorns), RHO (Tramplers, Shell-Walkers, Snapmaws, Longlegs, Ravagers), XI (Glinthawks, Freeze/Fire Bellowbacks, Stalkers, Behemoths), ZETA (Thunderjaws, Rockbreakers, Stormbirds).

Headshot 30 human enemies

Kill 30 human enemies with headshots. The Concentration skill slows time, aiding accuracy. Humans are found in Bandit Camps and during quests. Replaying the final story quest can help complete this.
