Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores - How To Get The Specter Gauntlet
The Specter Gauntlet can be found at the end of “The Stars In Their Eyes” main mission, which is the first time Aloy and Sekya come face to face with the Horus in the Hollywood Hills. They soon discover that the missing Quen has been residing here, all under the control of Walter Londra. As they head deeper into the facility, they find outthe Far Zenith is building another rocketinside the Horus using its printing matrix.
A fight ensues after the guards discover their ruse, and Aloy is confronted with Zeth, one of the Quen’s strongmen, who’s using a modified Zenith weapon with honing projectiles. Once the player defeats Zeth, Aloy will scan the Specter Gauntlet before taking it. Once equipped, she can fire shards modified for use as a barrage of energized projectiles.
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores - How To Upgrade The Specter Gauntlet
The Specter Gauntlet requires a special component to upgrade, which can be foundin the “In His Wake” side quest. Once again involving the Quen, the mission leads Aloy to Pirki’s camp, one of Landra’s lackeys who has taken some of the tribe hostage. Once the player finds and frees them, they must find Pirik by locating his key and entering his room.
Aloy soon realizes that Pirik has escaped using a tunnel at the back of the room, which leads to another battle involving a Specter Gauntlet. After Aloy defeats Pirik, players can loot the Railgun Component from his weapon to upgrade their own version of the Specter Gauntlet back at a workbench. This will enable the use of a highly accurate, long-range laser shot.
