I am noticing a couple repeating questions about the crit boost that the acid state gives.

When a machine is in the acid state the base crit chance of your weapons is doubled. These base crit chances are shown in the notebook. A couple examples are:
Sharpshot - 5% ( becomes 10% when the machine is corroded)
Shredder - 10% (becomes 20% when the machine is corroded)

Coils add to this crit chance, but do not get the multiplier effect from the acid state.

Love the tips & tricks videos as well as the weapon master classes and the how to kill guides....basically everything you do.

[rschulmeyer]

also i appreciate how you always provide video evidence of everything you are talking about. It makes for a very enjoyable viewing experience but is also more helpful to see everything first hand as you say it. I know it probably takes a ton of time but being so thorough is def appreciated.

[uberboomer]

You really have incredible talent with your videos. No filler, just mind blowing fact after fact. Hope you get a million subs in the near future cuz you're definitely earning it!

Dang Arktix.... You are such a smooth beast. As always, an EXTREMELY informative video, deeply appreciate the depth, pacing and clarity you work into your vids! Your community that you work with seem like a fantastic crew, wish I were good enough to actually contribute something lol. Thanks again, as always so much. Can't get over how well paced these are, you dump SO MUCH into these, but they're perfectly organized, you've got SO MANY HYPER-USEFUL TOOLS as links!! I've practically made a blanket out of your spreadsheets and hide under them in Very Hard, which isn't the most effective strat, but I die more comfortably!

More seriously, just tossing out random potential ideas (I infinitely trust your thought processes, this is just me making a potential wish-list)... I'm turning into an old woman, and my video gaming skills are getting more grinding-like than quick-skill, and despite my desire for ultra-Duper-Hard Mode to eventually be a thing for me to try, I'm really not doing too well on Very Hard, I keep having to turn the Custom damage on Aloy down to Normal or Hard. Would it be possible to maybe in the future tackle a comprehensive "things the average player MUST have prepared before trying Ultra Duper" vid for folk like me? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Right guys? ....Guys?

Another neat video idea might be maxing out melee techniques, best ways to heal or coil your armour... again I'm not exactly requesting these, just throwing ideas that I personally would find interesting. There's not a single video you've made where I've not learned a TON keep doing what you're doing lol! You're deeply appreciated, as you can tell from your first comments when you upload. Thanks so much for your hard work! Tell your crew on Discord we all really appreciate their work too! Those resources you link to that they've made are super helpful.

Again, thanks very much, and best wishes to you my sensei. Stay safe and well out there! (wonderful to see Whiskers the Crosshair again, you cheeky critter) > -_- <

[Graplevader]

Dude, your videos have been a fantastic resource. They've made my first dive into ultra hard a hell of a lot less painful than it would have been otherwise.

[nigelmyers]

Thanks for these deep dives! Between your machine guides to these deeper combat mechanics, it’s incredibly helpful! Keep up the great work!

[GrumpyPanda]

I've been waiting for a new video. Thank you for the fantastic content, you have improved my playstyle so much. Keep em coming!!!

[will-o-wisp]

I'm a recent subscriber and I think that your channel is really underrated, you manage to make all of your videos both useful and interesting.
Looking forward to tideripper and dreadwing guides

(Sorry for the bad English, it's not my first language)

[sembohle]

I learn a lot from research that is posted on the Discord server, but I forget a lot of it. Your videos always have a nice summary of all the things I've learned, so this video helps a lot. I'm really happy to see the end result!

[Atakir]

Just wanted to say that your tips & tricks videos, master class series and basically everything you've produced so far helped me get my Platinum. By the time I finished Ultra Hard NG+ Specter Prime was a cake walk. I'm currently working through NG+ again on normal to farm machine parts and it's so easy now lol. Thanks for all you do for the HFW community!

[afroponix]

All your tips against late game machines needed to farm parts for completing all high level upgrades has been the best I’ve seen. Also, is a huge helpful for getting a stack of parts needed for new game+/ultra hard without waiting for fully upgrading the new weapons with parts not gotten till late game. Best guides out there, great work!

[shhh_m_watching]

Your deep dive vids have given me a new appreciation for HFW.

[darthythebalkancat]

All videos are brilliant, its like a must for everyone playing horizon. Even if you are casual and play on story, the whole series you do has huge amount of tips. And i just know, it will blow up once they release this for PC users

[carlossuazo]

This man never dissapoint with tips and tricks and guide keep the grind love the content 💯

[dondvj]

Thanks! Really have enjoyed all your vids. People don't realize the depth and exploration this game provides with strategies for taking down machines.

[mattmedlam]

I know this has been said, but your videos are of such high quality and the most informative that I've seen in my quest to get a better understanding of this game. You really are vastly underrated and deserve way more subs than you currently have. Keep up the good work and I hope your channel continues to grow.

[JoseAmandoPlasGas]

Very clear information. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. 10/10

[purplemma]

First of your vids I've found - absolutely superb! Smooth, professionally put together and well paced. Great explanation of some tricky stuff (I came searching for knockdown info, will def check out the spreadsheet as well), wish I could give more thumbs up! Thanks :)

[andicampbell]

You are my go-to guy for this game when I need help and info. Thanks for all your hard work fella. Much appreciated.
