Horizon Forbidden West Guide – Basic skills that you should unlock first
Horizon Forbidden West introduces six skill trees: Hunter, Warrior, Survivor, Trapper, Infiltrator and Machine Master. Each type contains a variety of abilities that allow the player to create the Aloy to their liking. Whether she’s a melee-focused ass kicker or a stealth-oriented computer hacker, there’s no wrong answer as to what you choose. However, it can be crippling not knowing where to start.
While it is ideal to focus on maximizing one or two trees, each tree has basic abilities that every player should have, regardless of their play style. The best part is that these essential skills are inexpensive (costs a single skill point) and are among the first available traits, making them easily accessible.
So, before you go all the way down the rabbit hole of a particular skill tree, invest the first few hours in picking these must-have abilities.
