Then, the notes go on to discuss fixes being made in thedifferent main and side questsas well as different world activities, such as cauldrons, contracts, rebel camps, etc. Finally, the rest of the patch notes cover bug fixes and other miscellaneous changes in the game.
One of the most highly anticipated fixes is that of the Apex Grimhorn being missed in terms of themachine catalogue.Prior to this update, if the player fails to scan the Apex Grimhorn during the “Dying Lands” questline, it becomes difficult to attain the Platinum Trophy for the game, because this machine does not have any other dedicated spawn site other than the Arena. So, now that completing this questline automatically unlocks this entry in the catalogue, players no longer have to worry about missing out on scanning the Apex Grimhorn and then waiting to get to a certain level of the arena to have another shot at it.
The game developers are really taking the time to hear the voices of the fans and players and working hard toprovide support forHorizon Forbidden West, even going to the trouble of acknowledging known issues that are being worked on but have not yet been fully addressed. This show of dedication fosters loyalty in the fanbase and creates a positive developer/gamer relationship.
