Hunting/kill stats for week 1: >152M Watchers, >1.4M Thunderjaws and.. >20M Turkeys! #FridayFact #HorizonZeroDawn

From the game director.

I like that devs publish stats like these and the Injustice 2 Beta ones nowadays.

 

[bosseye]

I've killed probably 50% of those turkeys and 0% of those Thunderjaws.

 

[benny_a]

...and now we wait until next Friday

 

[Diancecht]

I've killed probably 50% of those turkeys and 0% of those Thunderjaws.

 

[Alo0oy]

How about sales?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I've killed about three turkeys so far and probably 50 wild boars. I wonder how many wild boars have been killed.

(I have also destroyed 0% Thunderjaws).

 

[jmaine_ph]

Sounds like something from the MS camp. No sales numbers though?

 

[wapplew]

I killed over 20 turkey on average, Horizon sold less than 1m confirm.

 

[OléGunner]

I haven't even attempted to take down a thunderjaw yet.
Should give it a shot tonight now I'm much more comfortable with combat.

I killed 1 Thunderjaw. How many % would that be of the total?

I haven't even attempted to take down a thunderjaw yet.

Even on easy it took quite some time to kill it. Just dodgedodgedodge and use hard arrows, fire arrows and bombs and it should go down.

 

[franklyshankly]

I wonder how they even track these stats? This game isn't always online or anything.

 

[daveo42]

I need those fish stats. I killed like million of them just for two fish skins.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm way too scared of Thunderjaws

I have to say for such a large intimidating machine, it is pretty easy to takedown compared to some of the other ones.

Saves in the cloud maybe?

My noob strategy for Thunderjaws:

Spoiler

Steal its 2 disc launcher heavy weapons and blast it to pieces.

 

[texhnolyze]

But how many rats?

One was OK.

Last night I met two. At the same time.

I ran.

I didn't even have the hard-tipped arrows when I killed it, I just used fire arrows and bombs, haha. Seen videos of your solution, and it seems to make it a cakewalk.

 

[Bluenoser]

Thunderjaw was an epic fight. Turkey... not so much.

 

[Nozem]

0.00007142857%

 

[Nesses]

I wonder how they even track these stats? This game isn't always online or anything.

I'm pretty sure that they are using some sort of telemetry for this. Even though the game isn't online, I'm pretty sure it sends data back to the devs to see what is popular vs whats not in the game.

 

[Tosyn_88]

My first Thunderjaw fight was when I was looking for the override upgrade, I didn't even know I would be paired in a fight with one, I was so underpowered compared but I beat it with persistence and an obscene amount of TRAPS!!! The other three Thunderjaw that I killed was with more of positioning and one was cat and mouse

 

[False Witness]

Nah, that's the pro strat. Launch a triple decker tear arrow barrage at it's back. Freeze it. Destroy.

 

[vivekTO]

Cmon Sales-Gaf you have got quiet a lot statistic to deduce the sales of horizon. please get to work. thanks.

 

[Dinjooh]

I wonder how they even track these stats? This game isn't always online or anything.

Most games has some sort of game analytics integration. So even though you can play it fully offline, if you do have an internet connection, chances are you're sending data to the devs.

Thanks for the tips!

Yeah it's really intimidating.
Saw one at level 12 and shit my pants lol

 

[UnluckyKate]

Thunderjaws are nasty but there is worse in the game. Some harder machines to take down.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Wait til you meet the

Behemoth

. I'm level 33 or 34, and I haven't even dared taking on one of those yet D: It's not as yuge as the Terminatorosaurus Rex, but IIRC it has massive plating, making it hard to kill.

Turkeys are the real enemy, best twist evar

 

[Loudninja]

Turkeys are the real enemy.

I giggled

 

[red731]

I giggled

I gobble gobbled.

 

[Omnistalgic]

lol...

 

[daveo42]

Thunderjaw encounters are always fun. Blow off their weapons and armor, tie them down, then shove a million arrows into their heart. Stalkers tho...they fucking suck.

 

[Alo0oy]

Cmon Sales-Gaf you have got quiet a lot statistic to deduce the sales of horizon. please get to work. thanks.

It's not easy when only 47% of the players beat the first Corruptor.

 

[Ferr986]

Thunderjaws are a little too on the easy side, if only because their own weapons can deal a lot of damage too him. Without them is surely a lot of fun to fight.

 

[Irishmantis]

I gobble gobbled.

Your gobble made me giggle again

 

[sense]

How about sales?

Sounds like something from the MS camp. No sales numbers though?

Relax guys, sales numbers likely out by next week. Monday would be my guess. Uncharted 4 sales came out roughly two weeks after release

 

[vivekTO]

It's not easy when only 47% of the players beat the first Corruptor.

But that's the Challenge!! its not like Sales-Gaf is busy in NPD threads

 

[Valonquar]

34 geese globally

 

[itsbenoclock]

Sales guess: 1.6 Million WW

 

[silva1991]

What about fishes tho? you know the actual hardest enemy in the game.

 

[illmatic22]

Sounds about right. Turkeys are slow and die from one hit.

 

[RedFury]

Yup more afraid of a pack of Stalkers that a Thunderjaw. Still my favorite is the Raveger, oh how I love that WMD.

 

[Primethius]

Also, 0 Racoon Skins found.

 

[Falchion]

I've killed one of those Thunderjaws.

Or is it?

This makes me unreasonably angry. XD

I took down my first one last night at level 21. It wasn't too bad, but come equipped with lots of health resources and be ready to dodge roll a lot. I found one of the most effective strategies to be to run away from him and set a few explosive trip wires in his path. They do quite a bit of damage, and every couple of then will knock him down.

Those are even easier. Exposed elemental canister and super high damage weak spots. They go down in 1 ice arrow, 6 sharpshooter arrows
