How To Fast Travel in Horizon: Zero Dawn

by

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours under my belt, I can confidently say that Horizon: Zero Dawn is a visual masterpiece that takes exploration to new heights. However, as much as I enjoy traversing the game’s vast landscapes on foot, the allure of quick travel is hard to resist. Fast Travel in this game is a godsend, especially when you’ve got a quest that requires you to scour the entire map.

The highly acclaimed game Horizon: Zero Dawn has left PlayStation players in awe due to its stunning visuals, sparking excitement about how Guerrilla Games will elevate their premier series further in the remaster. The game offers a vast, open-world landscape adorned with breathtaking scenery and hordes of both magnificent yet menacing machines that can either be battled or allied.

Walking around and discovering all the game’s sights at your own pace is quite appealing, but speeding up travel between different locations can greatly improve the gaming experience for many players. Therefore, learning the Fast Travel method in Horizon: Zero Dawn could significantly enhance one’s journey.

How To Fast Travel in Horizon: Zero Dawn

Traveling swiftly in Horizon: Zero Dawn is facilitated through Campfires evenly distributed across the expansive game map. Although numerous, you’ll initially need to explore them before utilizing their advantages. To activate a Campfire, players just have to move towards it. Once activated, you can fast travel to that location, or, by standing near the Campfire, save your progress and establish it as a checkpoint in case of death.

Fast traveling is an option for reaching any known settlement, given that Aloy has previously explored it. To use fast travel, open your map, move your cursor over your chosen destination – be it a settlement or Campfire – and then press the ‘Travel’ button (R2). This action is marked on the bottom of the map. Please note that while convenient, fast travel isn’t without cost; players must have a Fast Travel Pack available to use this service.

How To Get Fast Travel Packs

Players have multiple options to obtain Fast Travel packs, primarily through self-crafting or finding them as loot. The easiest method is self-crafting, which involves accessing the Crafting menu and navigating to the Travel section. To craft a Fast Travel Pack, you’ll require these specific materials:

  • 15 Ridge-Wood – these can be harvested by approaching small, leafless trees throughout the world.
  • One Fatty Meat
  • One Bony Meat – both meat types can be found by harvesting wildlife. Be on the lookout for animals like Boars, Turkeys, or Foxes, as they will have what you need.

As a gamer, I can tell you that there’s another option to get around quickly in the game – Fast Travel Packs. These handy items can either be found stashed away in supply caches or earned as rewards for completing quests. But if you don’t feel like waiting, you can also buy them from vendors for a small cost of two Metal Shards, 15 Ridge-Wood, and one Rich Meat. Most merchants should have these goods on hand.

How To Get A Golden Fast Travel Pack

Instead of having to repeatedly create, locate, or buy Fast Travel Items, players can instead choose to procure a Golden Fast Travel Item. This golden item provides limitless Fast Travel uses, eliminating the necessity for players to keep track of their inventory. Although it’s not immediately accessible at the start of the story, you won’t have to delve too far into the plot to acquire one.

To obtain a Golden Fast Travel Pack, players should look for it in the inventory of a particular vendor, the Hunting Goods Merchant located in Meridian. Although other vendors might carry it as well, this merchant is your best bet. In his Resource section, you’ll find this extremely rare item listed at the bottom of his offerings under ‘Goods.’ Keep in mind that due to its high value, the Golden Fast Travel Pack isn’t cheap, but it’s certainly worth every penny. To make a purchase, ensure you have sufficient funds ready.

  • 50 Metal Shards
  • One Fox Skin
  • 10 Fatty Meat

After buying the game, my main task becomes verifying that I’ve explored all the necessary locations on the map before embarking on a journey across its expanse. This way, traversing from one end to another becomes a seamless adventure.
