Cheats and Secrets of Horizon: Zero Dawn

Hello, in this post I will leave some little secrets and tricks of Horizon: Zero Dawn. This page collects cheats, secrets, exploits, and other tricks for Horizon: Zero Dawn that allow you to get easy XP, infinite ammo, and invincibility. 

Infinite Healt/ Heavy Weapon Ammo Exploit

The short version: reloading a save will restore your health bar and any ammo for a heavy weapon if you're carrying one when you save.

Heavy Weapons are items that can be collected from powerful enemies, such as the Ravager's cannon, Thunderjaw's disc launcher or a Deathbringer heavy machine gun.

Once you collect the weapon, simply make your way back to a campfire and perform a save while you still have some ammo left. Reload the save to refill your ammo.

Ravagers, Thunderjaws and other large beasts will all succumb rather easily to these heavy weapons, which makes this exploit great for grinding for XP and leveling up quickly.

Become Invincible with Hidden Armor

There is a hidden armor called "Shield-Weaver", which renders Aloy (almost) invincible. The armor contains a rechargeable shield that absorbs all incoming damage, including falling damage. If the shield is close to failing, it will blink red and emit a high-pitched alarm sound.

The Shield-Weaver can be found by completing the quest Ancient Armory and finding all five hidden Power Cells throughout the game.

Tearblaster

The tearblaster is a somewhat hidden weapon. Unlike other weapons it cannot be bought from merchants. It's a quest reward for side quest "Hunter's Blind". This gives you a treasure box with this weapon inside. It shoots compressed air to take off a machine's armor and components. This can be very useful against certain types of enemies, especially the ones that carry weapons on their backs.

Hidden Questline

Players with a keen eye for exploration can stumble across a hidden quest with valuable rewards. The Ancient Armory quest begins when Aloy finds any one of five Power Cells that will unlock a unique set of armor that can render her almost invincible.ster Egg.

Jazz the Jackrabbit Easter Egg

Rabbits named Jazz and Jack can be found near the mining camp that you attack after locating the War Chief. They are near the Metal Flower in the area above and to the west of the camp. 

Hidden Batman

In the beginning of the game when you fell into the cave, the first tunnel contains bats flying towards you and a puddle with the shape of the batman-logo.
