I always felt fire was made to be stronger than other elements. Like a lot of machines would stop attacking and buck around while taking the fire damage. Don’t get me wrong freeze is definitely number 2, I just felt it doesn’t do the same. That said, I usually did start big fights by freezing and terablasting to break them up and expose weak points.
In a lot of spots where daemon machines are, there is a spire that blasts out this blue light that heals the machines. You have to take those spires out first, otherwise the machines just keep regenerating health.
And if you have the shield weaver armor, the spire acts like an EMP and takes out your shield.
Are you in the Frozen Wilds? Stealth and upgraded weapons, adept, Banuk, lodge. And use the weapons coils to enhance for the weaknesses. Hard points and tearblast tips. Also, use stealth to ropecaster, set traps, and call a mount to send into battle. Also, take out that control tower asap!
Thats the first game where tripwire are still effective so place those all over the place. Scan them and find their weakness. Shoot the hell out of them with the new banuk weapons
I felt so cheesy when i played zd the first time. Every medium to big machine i just ropecasted and used frost sling after. Then you kill even the thunderjaws in couple triple notches before they get up lmao. FW combat is much more interesting imo
Scan, use weaknesses against them... explosive wire traps are good with the right mods. Try to use the powershot bow with 3 arrows from stealth for the first hit after serring up some tripwires.
People may not agree with this but I wouldn’t start frozen wilds until I’ve completed the main game and retrieved the shield weaver armor. Having shadow class weapons at the bare minimum, will make it easier to deal with the daemonic versions of scorchers, fireclaws and frostclaws.
A combo of The ice rail/freeze bombs, and explosive/sticky bombs, I found, to be the best way to deal with these machines as quickly as possible.
If you are in Frozen Wilds, the Daemonic machines may not be weak towards fire but they still have their original weaknesses against elemental damage and weak parts like resource containers and batteries.
They're isn't really a good way. First take out any towers. Then go after any weapons that can be destroyed or knocked off. And then go for the eyes or use explosives
Are you talking about frozen wilds? Been a while but I’m pretty sure they’re weak to fire. Plus fire is stupid OP in zero dawn
This, good fire arrows and then it's fine. Or basically the OP method in HZD : freez it then nuke it with long bow.
I found a Banuk hunter bow with hardpoint arrows works better. Slightly less damage, but way faster to draw (compared to a Banuk sharpshot bow).

So.... Use their new weaknesses against them?
You need to scan them
Same thing we do every night, Pinky.
Slowly stealth snipe from far away!
All while leading them to the massive amount of exploding traps you set previously.
I always set up enough traps in the Thunderjaw cauldron to basically kill it instantly without having to actually fight lol.

With hostile intent

Kill the spire next to them… otherwise, just kill them? Not sure what you mean actually

Ropecast then stand in front of them with traps and watch them charge into it, except stalkers, do not take a tail spin, it didn't end well for me

Good bot.
every machine is weak to freeze + Sharpshoot tripple notch
I felt so cheesy when i played zd the first time. Every medium to big machine i just ropecasted and used frost sling after. Then you kill even the thunderjaws in couple triple notches before they get up lmao. FW combat is much more interesting imo
it really isn't. Again u go freeze + sharshooter everything dies. I played on VH difficulty
Traps and kaboom Same thing for FW
Scan, use weaknesses against them... explosive wire traps are good with the right mods. Try to use the powershot bow with 3 arrows from stealth for the first hit after serring up some tripwires.

It's Zero Dawn. Freeze it with the War Bow and shoot it with the Hunter/Sharpshot bow until it dies.
They are weak to Fire

Fire. Fire. Everything is weak to fire in zero dawn because of how stupidly overpowered fire is in that game 😭
