How to unlock the 10 Vulnerable machine kills achievement in Horizon Zero Dawn - Definitive Guide

Glinthawks are vulnerable to fire and easy to kill. Just find some of them, weaken them with you regular arrows and burn them down with your fire arrows. This should take about 10 minutes to complete.

All corrupted enemies are weak vs. Fire, so it's also easy to get this in a Corrupted Zone using fire arrows / tripwires.

Note: Patch Version 1.10 fixed an issue where some robots would not be counted for this trophy.

Key Weapon Modification:

  • = Fire: Damage over time
  • = Freeze: Multiply subsequent damage

Recommended Weapons & Ammo:

  • Shadow Hunter Bow with Fire Arrows
  • Shadow War Bow with Freeze Arrows
  • Shadow Sling with Fire or Freeze Bombs


This trophy is very misleading and lots of people ask questions about it. Truth is, this trophy is Story related, cannot be missed. You will get this trophy naturally just by playing through the game. The reasoning behind this is at the end of the story, you have to shoot lots of machines with a cannon called an Oseram Cannon, which does fire damage. Therefore, this trophy should unlock naturally.

For the trophy, purchase Shadow Sling since it has both types of elements of Fire and Freeze Bombs. It's also recommended that you purchase the Shadow Hunter Bow since it's one of your main weapons in the game and comes with stronger Fire Arrows. If you frequently use the Fire Arrows with this bow or the Shadow Sling's Fire or Freeze Bombs, you'll unlock this trophy quite easily. Using your Focus [] to scan machines can also reveal their weakness if they have any. You will want to see if they are vulnerable to Fire or Freeze. One Fire Arrow or Freeze Bomb won't suffice. When you hit them there's a circle filling up above the machine(s) you hit with the element. Once this circle is all the way filled up the effect will start to kick in. Then you can visually see the enemy going up in flames or getting frozen in ice.

Fire does a lot of recurrent damage over a short period of time. Freeze makes it so you can shatter some enemies in one hit because their entire body becomes a weak point.
