Horizon Forbidden West: 10 Best New Gameplay Abilities
7. Acid & Plasma Elemental Damage
In Horizon: Zero Dawn, there were several damage types: Tear, Fire, Freeze, Shock and Corruption.
In Forbidden West, we know that this will expand even further with at least two other types of damage: Acid and Plasma.
As with all of the other damage types, Aloy should be able to use both of these herself, but it also opens up the possibility for brand new acid and plasma-spitting machines to really ruin your day.
We're not gonna lie - the prospect of being able to blast a machine with its own plasma cannon after ripping it off and melting its face with an acid arrow sounds pretty fun to us.
There are also some references to a further damage type named 'purgewater', which is a bit more of a mystery than the others. Based on its name alone, we can only assume this is somehow used against machines of the more aquatic nature, and could maybe be used in underwater combat scenarios.
