Horizon Forbidden West‘s machines are one of the most compelling parts of the series. So much time is spent researching and fighting them that they almost become a major secondary character of sorts for the story.
Completing Forbidden West‘s trophy list requires the player to be intimately familiar with every type of machine by scanning each one at least once to unlock the “All Machine Types Scanned” trophy. Anyone looking to pop the trophy certainly has their work cut out for them as the game features 43 unique machines wandering the vast open world.
It’s worth noting that many machines spawn in multiple places, so the specific spots listed below aren’t the only areas where each machine can be found.
Before getting started, it’s important to note that there are two missable machines that don’t spawn in the open world outside of specific missions. Anyone looking to unlock the trophy needs to keep this in mind and make sure to scan the Specter and Specter Prime during the main quest mission “Singularity” before the end of the main story. This is the last mission in the main quest, so just make sure to scan both machines during it and there should be no other major roadblocks.
This guide is still a work in progress, so check back later for more photos!
