"Horizon Zero Dawn" has just landed, offering an open world filled with both organic and mechanical enemies. Players start out as a rather unprepared character with low-level weaponry and armor. How will players survive? Read this guide to learn more.

Practice Stealth

"Horizon Zero Dawn" players are better off hiding in the bushes and facing enemies head on. This is crucially important when facing herds of enemies. It is a great idea to focus on getting better at headshots using even a simple bow. Then there is also the whistle ability that allows players to lure in one enemy at a time and thin out the herd slowly but effectively, Red Bull reported.

Do More Side Quests

Doing side quests benefit the players in more than one way: it allows the character to explore more of the "Horizon Zero Dawn" world and it also helps in gathering experience to level up faster. Most will also give skill points upon completion, which can then be used in the Skill Tree.

Pick up Every Item

The character will not be able to pick up every item at the get-go, so players must focus on expanding the resource satchel, according to Polygon. This will allow them to be prepared at whatever ingredient an item needs and if they got plenty of common items, they can sell them off for cash. Players also often will not realize that they got a rare drop, so it is better to pick up as much item they can to be sure.

Pay Attention to Your Gears

To be able to take on the more powerful enemies in "Horizon Zero Dawn," the players' characters must be fully prepared. A good weapon that is suitable to the skillset of the player is a must-have, as well as an outfit that can protect them. It is a good idea to upgrade weapons and outfits whenever possible.

Learn to Dodge/Run Away

Players will most likely encounter enemies that are out of their league while exploring in "Horizon Zero Dawn." This is completely normal, so the best way to fight is to either dodge or run away.

Dodging allows players to study the foe while waiting for the opportunity to strike while running away gives them more time to level up first and get better gears to try and fight the particular enemy again. "Horizon Zero Dawn" is now available to play worldwide on the PlayStation 4.
