Horizon Zero Dawn: 16 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You
8. The Whistle Will Only Ever Pull One Enemy At A Time
Thanks to its gorgeous graphics and mostly lifelike facial rendering (save for the occasional blank stare or bad lip-sync), Horizon might make you think you're playing the next stage of evolution for video games.
Then you hit the whistle command, and - yup - it's still a video game.
Now, Zero Dawn does tell you about the ability to whistle at enemies, and does note that it will always 'pull' whoever is nearest to the centre of the screen. But the thing Horizon neglects to mention, is that the mechanic is kinda broken.
Say there's a group of three enemies standing together, whistle and just ONE - always one - will peel off to investigate. The A.I. literally doesn't account for anyone hearing' you outside of this "centre to the screen" idea, so repeat to clear any number of bandit camps from the safety of some tall grass, or face away from whoever's next to you and draw someone else in, breaking the rules of logic in the process.
