Clear the Hollow Fort Bandit Camp in horizon zero dawn. Rewards include 15,000 XP. Scout with your Focus and use headshots.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the northwestern Campfire near the Cultist Camp - North, follow the road north to a river. Cross it and continue north to reach the outskirts of the Hollow Fort Bandit Camp.
  2. 2
    Scout the camp using your Focus to mark enemies. Utilize the tall grass around the camp for concealment.
  3. 3
    Make your way around the perimeter, picking off exposed targets with headshots (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) using the Sharpshot Bow, which can kill most enemies in one hit. If enemies become suspicious or you miss a shot, hide in tall grass or increase the distance.
  4. 4
    Be aware of Bandit Heavy units and “elite” units (marked with a skull when viewed with Focus). They may require more than one headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) but are unlikely to spot you after a single hit. Take a shot, reposition, wait for their suspicion circle to fade, and then finish them off, or use Double Shot or Triple Shot if available.
  5. 5
    Head to the northwestern edge of the camp, which is an ideal infiltration point. Scramble up snow-covered ruins to breach the perimeter.
  6. 6
    Eliminate the Bandit on the watch tower to the southeast. Drop down onto the lower section of old world construction near the watch tower.
  7. 7
    Turn northeast to find the camp’s alarm system below you. Shoot it with an arrow to disable it and prevent reinforcements.
  8. 8
    From the ledge near the watch tower, you have a height advantage. Pick off Bandits to the southeast and northeast.
  9. 9
    Drop down near the watch tower to the southeast and proceed through the camp, eliminating Bandits and using tall grass for cover.
  10. 10
    When near the southwestern gate, you may need to take some shots out of cover to eliminate a few Bandits.
  11. 11
    Once the southwestern corner is pacified, take the high ground in the center of the camp and free the hostages in the ruins.
  12. 12
    Clear the northeastern half of the camp, utilizing the tall grass along the northern end for concealment.
  13. 13
    Eradicate the Bandits in the northeastern corner.
  14. 14
    Deal with the southeastern entrance, where you may have thinned the herd earlier. If you defeat a Bandit Heavy, you can claim their Firespitter weapon to finish off any remaining Bandits.
  15. 15
    After all Bandits are eliminated, Nora will populate the camp.
