A key part of Horizon Forbidden West combat is sneaking up to machines to silent strike, override them, or in some cases avoid them entirely. As you explore the open world you will come across machines that are too tough to deal with. There are even some quests that you may avoid killing the machines in your path by sneaking past.
The best way to sneak past machines is tohide in the long grassanduse the focus to mark their patrol path. This will tell your exactly where the machine will walk. Once you know the path of the machine, you canthrow rocks by pressing down on the D Padto draw its attention away from you so you can sneak between long grass patches.
