How to unlock the Tore off 5 heavy weapons achievement in Horizon Zero Dawn - Definitive Guide

Every thunderjaw is equipped with two heavy weapons on their back. Shoot them with your tearblast arrows and they are easily detached (with a single shot). Do this for three thunderjaws and the trophy is yours.

Personally I ran into more Ravagers playing through the game - they only have 1 heavy weapon but I got this mostly that way rather than via Thunderjaws.

Key Weapon Modification:

  • = Tear: Remove armor & components

Recommended Weapon & Ammo:

  • Shadow Sharpshot Bow with Tearblast Arrows


Some of the biggest machines, e.g. Thunderjaws & Deathbringers have heavy weapons on their body. The Thunderjaw is the best machine to farm this; one can be found at the Sun Furrows Hunting Grounds and it respawns each time you start a new trial. Use Tearblast Arrows from the Sharpshot Bow (Blue or Purple). It instantly knocks off any component(s) that you hit, no matter how much health it has and no matter how big the machine is. You can buy this bow at most merchants, e.g. in Meridian City or at Hunting Grounds. Now find a Thunderjaw and hit the Disc Launcher above the Thunderjaw’s leg with a Tearblast Arrow. Repeat this 4 more times and the trophy will unlock.

Remember, you can use your Focus [] to scan the machine to see where the Heavy Weapon is located at on their bodies. Press to activate the Concentration skill while aiming the bow to slow down time before firing a Tearblast Arrow.

All Machines with Heavy Weapons Tear Components:

  1. Ravager - Ravager Cannon (x1 Component)
  2. Thunderjaw - Disc Launcher (x2 Components)
  3. Deathbringer - Gun Turret (x2 Components)
