How to disrupt the Tower weapon in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores

Disrupting the Tower Gun in Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is the final part of the first mission of the DLC called ‘To The Burning Shores’. The weapon itself has caused you numerous problems so far, and now it’s Aloy’s turn to take it down with the help of her new friend.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores takes place after the end of the main game, which means that the skills you’ve acquired throughout there, such as using concentration mode and conquering difficult climbs, will come in handy here.

Without further ado, we’ll show you how to alter the Tower weapon in Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, and we’ll also show you how to destroy all three power cores.

Spoilers below: This guide is for one of the main quests in the Burning Shores DLC for Horizon Forbidden West. There are possible spoilers for the ending of the main game and the DLC.

How to Disrupt the Tower Gun in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores

Once you reach the top of the tower with Seyka, you will find the weapon that dropped you from the sky at the beginning of this mission.

To stop the weapon, you will have to lower it so you can attack it. To do this, confront the weapon you came up from with Seyka and scan it with your Focus. You should then see a large purple pipe leading from the gun to the Tower on your right.

Follow this tube until it starts to go up, you should see this:

You should see some climbing holds going up the wall, leading to a slightly elevated area. Go up here and you will see a Node.

Approach the Node and interact with it to override it. This will lower the gun, but it will start shooting at you.

Be careful not to get hit by the weapon, as it can easily wipe out most of your health with a single shot. When the gun starts shooting at you, return to the lowered area where Seyka is and use your focus to scan it again.

How to destroy the first Tower weapon power core in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores

The next thing you need to do is break the Power Core at the back of the machine, but you can’t reach it from where you are with Seyka. Instead, you need to find a way to climb higher to get a clear image of the Core.

To do this, confront the machine from where you initially climbed to the top with Seyka. Then, look to your left. You should see an opening leading to more ruins. Head this way and then follow the path through this area until you can’t go any further. At the end of this path, look to the right again and you should see some Unstable Firegleam.

Light the Unstable Firegleam as you see fit and run through the new opening once it explodes.

Continue moving through the new area towards the two bars sticking out from the edge of the building that should be directly in front of you. Walk towards it and then carefully jump onto the bar sticking out further from the Tower.

Then move the camera to look towards the Tower again and you should see more climbing holds leading up on the outside of it. Scan the pulse with your Focus if you’re having trouble finding them. Follow the path up until you can’t go any further.

When you reach the point where you can’t go any further, move the camera up and to the right until you find another handhold. Jump and fight your way to the next area.

Once you’re here, you’ll be able to see the Power Core on the back of the weapon. He’ll notice you when you initially get there, but you can take cover from his attack behind the wall to your left.

Seyka will distract him again and then you’ll have a clear shot at the Power Core:

Keep shooting at the Core until it is destroyed. Then the gun will start acting erratically and shooting around you.

From this point, you can attack the two remaining Power Cores in any order you wish. This guide is based on the order we did them, but as long as you destroy the last two Cores you will complete the mission.

The next Power Core for the Tower weapon is on the front of the weapon. It is lower than the previous one and can be easily shot from below. The gun will fire more frequently than before, but you can still anticipate its attacks. However, you still have to wait for Seyka to distract him before making your move.

You can shoot it down however you want, but we found it easier to stand under the gun and shoot straight up at the Core to destroy it. We recommend using Tearblast arrows to speed up the process.

After destroying this Core, there is only one left and you must return to the area where you shot the first Core from.

When you return to the area where you fired the first Core, scan the weapon again with your Focus to locate the final Power Core.

The last Power Core is at the top of the gun and is a slightly more complicated shot. We recommend using a Tearblast arrow from a Sharpshot bow to destroy this one.

We found it easier to walk to the far edges of this platform area to get an angled view of the Core. We also recommend entering Concentration mode while aiming for the Power Core to get an accurate shot.

Once you destroy this Power Core, the weapon will be destroyed and will crash into where Seyka is. Head there to finish the mission, but remember to loot the gun as it has a useful coil attached to it.

Once you put down the weapon, you will have completed the first mission of the Burning Shores DLC for Horizon Forbidden West and you will be one step closer to finding Londra.
