Burrower Forbidden West

Meet the Burrower: A Recon Machine in Horizon Forbidden West

Introduction

The Burrower is a machine in Horizon Forbidden West, a reconnaissance class machine designed by GAIA and produced by HEPHAESTUS. It is one of the first machines Aloy comes face to face with during her adventures, and it will become a frequent encounter throughout the game.

Characteristics

Burrowers are small, agile machines with a snake-like body and a head that resembles a mole. They have a high-pitched squeal and move quickly, making them difficult to catch and track. Burrowers also have the ability to burrow underground, allowing them to evade attacks and surprise their enemies.

Combat

Burrowers are relatively weak in terms of attack power, but they can be dangerous if they are not dealt with quickly. They attack by charging at their target, launching a barrage of claws, or by spitting acid. To defeat a Burrower, it is best to use weapons that are effective against machines, such as arrows or slingshots. It is also important to stay mobile and avoid getting hit by their attacks.

Drops

When defeated, Burrowers will drop a variety of items that can be used to craft weapons and armor. These items include Metal Shards, Wire, and Machine Cores.
