Crafting

Learn how to craft and upgrade your satchels and ammo pouches in Horizon Zero Dawn. Discover the materials needed for each tier and boost your inventory capacity!

Alright, let's talk about crafting in Horizon Zero Dawn. It's super important for getting stronger, even if it doesn't feel like you're directly fighting with it. Early on, you'll notice you can only hold so much stuff – resources, ammo, all that jazz. Crafting is how you expand those limits.

Most of the items in the game, especially resources and ammo, can be upgraded through the crafting menu. Each upgrade usually has four tiers. The first couple of tiers are pretty straightforward, mostly needing basic stuff like Metal Shards and Ridge-Wood, plus some common meats. But once you start aiming for those third and fourth tiers, you'll need to get your hands dirty hunting down specific animal skins and bones. So, keep an eye out for those critters!
