Tips on how to sneak past machines undetected in Horizon Forbidden West
A key part of Horizon Forbidden West combat is sneaking up to machines to silent strike, override them, or in some cases avoid them entirely. As you explore the open world you will come across machines that are too tough to deal with. There are even some quests that you can avoid killing the machines in your path by sneaking past.
The best way to sneak past machines is to hide in the long grass and use the focus to mark their patrol path. This will tell your exactly where the machine will walk. Once you know the path of the machine, you can throw rocks by pressing down on the D Pad to draw its attention away from you so you can sneak between long grass patches.
