Storm Cannon?<\/strong> Stormbird Storm Cannon is a legendary resource in <strong>Horizon Forbidden West<\/strong>, obtained only from <strong>Stormbirds<\/strong>, and must be torn off with <strong>Tear damage<\/strong> before the machine is destroyed if <strong>&#8220;easy loot&#8221;<\/strong> is turned off in settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do you hunt Stormbird?<\/strong> The best ways to hunt a <strong>Stormbird<\/strong> are to shoot off the bird&#8217;s armor to stun it before pinning it down with <strong>Aloy&#8217;s ropecaster<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can I buy a Stormbird primary nerve?<\/strong> It is obtained only from <strong>Stormbirds<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why won&#8217;t Apex Stormbird spawn?<\/strong> <strong>Apex machines<\/strong> have a higher spawn rate at night, so to almost guarantee an <strong>Apex<\/strong> to spawn, go to a shelter far away from the marked site you&#8217;re going to farm at, sit at the campfire and advance the time to <strong>&#8220;Night&#8221;<\/strong> and then fast travel to that area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can you fly a Stormbird?<\/strong> While <strong>2017&#8217;s Horizon: Zero Dawn<\/strong> let players tame and ride the various land-based machines roaming the ruined landscape of <strong>The Claim<\/strong>, flight-based enemies like <strong>Horizon&#8217;s<\/strong> massive <strong>Stormbird<\/strong> and smaller <strong>Glinthawks<\/strong> remained just out of reach of <strong>Aloy&#8217;s<\/strong> machine-hijacking spear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do you find Stormbird in the clouds?<\/strong> Fly up into the lightning-filled clouds above the island and find the <strong>Stormbird<\/strong>, using your <strong>Focus<\/strong> to follow its trail until it comes into view.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What weapon is Stormbird best with?<\/strong> The best weapon to use against a <strong>Stormbird<\/strong> is an <strong>explosive spear<\/strong> on its chest core to knock it down and make it fall to your control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the best weapon against Stormbird?<\/strong> The best two options are the <strong>hunter<\/strong> and <strong>sharpshot bows<\/strong>, with the <strong>hunter bow<\/strong> being fast and dealing a good amount of damage, while the <strong>sharpshot bow<\/strong> deals a ton of damage while being slower and more accurate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can you buy machine parts in Horizon Forbidden West?<\/strong> Each of the <strong>salvage contractors<\/strong> sells a selection of <strong>machine parts<\/strong>, with the higher level ones generally selling components from tougher machines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What animal is a Stormbird?<\/strong> The <strong>Pacific koel<\/strong>, also known as the <strong>eastern koel<\/strong> or formerly <strong>common koel<\/strong>, is a species of cuckoo in the family <strong>Cuculidae<\/strong>, and is colloquially known as the <strong>rainbird<\/strong> or <strong>stormbird<\/strong> in Australia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the purpose of the Stormbird?<\/strong> <strong>Stormbirds<\/strong> were not created as combat machines, but as <strong>Zero Dawn terraformers<\/strong>, designed by <strong>Zero Dawn&#8217;s<\/strong> governing AI <strong>GAIA<\/strong> to work under its subordinate function <strong>AETHER<\/strong>, to detoxify Earth&#8217;s atmosphere.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What does a Stormbird look like?<\/strong> The <strong>storm bird<\/strong> is a distinctive-looking large black bird with a red eye, a member of the <strong>cuckoo family<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the rarest machine in Forbidden West?<\/strong> Of all the aerial machines introduced in <strong>Horizon Forbidden West<\/strong>, the <strong>Dreadwing<\/strong> is the rarest and most challenging of the bunch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the most expensive item in Horizon Forbidden West?<\/strong> The most expensive actual resources are <strong>Crystal Braiding<\/strong> and <strong>Volatile Sludge<\/strong>, although <strong>Chillwater<\/strong>, <strong>Echo Shells<\/strong>, <strong>Glowblast<\/strong>, and <strong>Purgewater<\/strong> are also valuable resources.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the rarest item in Horizon Forbidden West?<\/strong> The rarest items in <strong>Horizon Forbidden West<\/strong> include the <strong>Carja Shadow<\/strong>, <strong>Carja Wanderer<\/strong>, <strong>Nora Sentinel<\/strong>, <strong>Oseram Arrow Breaker<\/strong>, <strong>Utaru Harvester<\/strong>, <strong>Oseram
