Horizon Zero Dawn sees Guerrilla move on from the dark futuristic warzones of Killzone into the lush futuristic landscapes occupied by machines and the humans that hunt them... or are hunted by them. It's a tough world.
Game Map#
The game map on PC is way bigger than on PS4, often including far more detail out of bounds than you'd ever be able to see.
Inaccessible Areas#
There are areas outside of the normal playable map area that are seemingly inaccessible without disabling boundaries, teleporting, or exploiting glitches.
Exiting the playable area without disabling boundaries will give you a warning, and continuing further will reload your last save.
Debug Campfire | Combat Test Ground#
X -2504
Y -2207
Z 220PC:
This is a hidden campfire that (if discovered) allows a player to fast travel to a part of the map far to the west of the playable game area.
Fast traveling allows player to teleport outside the playable area even with boundaries active, due to the game considering fast travel as a checkpoint for respawning.
Directly next to the campfire there is a large debug platform with buttons (that appear to be disabled in production builds) as well as a small climbing course.
In Development/Debug Builds those buttons were used for spawning machines. Each button is named with the final and development name for each machine.
A button is also present to change the faction of the player (player, neutral, enemytoall, ...), allowing to inspect the machine without getting attacked.
On the other side of the platform there are buttons for spawning human enemies, as well as buttons for changing the time of the day.
An empty player sized box is also present, entering that box (in development builds) will teleport the player to another identical box down to the climbing course.
The big wooden log on the left will refill the player's consumables and ammo when interacted with. This still works on production/release builds.
Near the wooden log there is a big empty space. In development builds that space is filled with all the types of pickupable weapons (eg. Ravager Cannon)
PS4:
The campfire as well as the rock underneath it is present on the PS4 version of the game, the testing area is not solid except the campfire and rock.
The campfire isn't discoverable, it won't appear on the radar on top, discovering the campfire by quick-saving and then opening the map results in a game crash.
Reloading the save locks the game during loading, eventually leading to a crash.
Climbing Course#
X -2297
Y -2240
Z 219PC:
A bit further away, there is a larger climbing course.
PS4:
Just like the rest of this area, the climbing course isn't solid. Grapple points appear to be missing as well.
Big Slope#
Just on the right of the Climbing Course a Big slope is present, used for testing sliding and climbing.
On the left there is another small platform used to spawn human enemies from the DLC (The frozen Wilds)
East Campfire#
X 5065
Y -2013
Z 115Far to the east of the playable game area, there is another campfire. In the distance are some trees marking a ranch that is normally only visible from a cutscene.
Sobeck Ranch#
X 5347
Y -2324
Z 118PC:
Sobeck Ranch, only visible during a cutscene.
Cutscenes are pre-rendered, so while it is the area that has been used for recording the cutscene, it's entirely unused at runtime, left in the final game by mistake.
PS4:
Just like the rest of the out-of-bounds area, this is non-solid. It's also missing the LOD, meaning it's just a flat image.
Naming Cliff#
X 2285
Y -1113
Z 338The ceremonial naming cliff used during the opening cutscene. Unused dialogue will play upon entering the area.
Some climbing points are present in the path used during the cutscene, but they don't appear to be functional.
Aside from its visuals and dialogue, this area is very unfinished, with holes in the geometry and misaligned collision. Water physics are also broken in some places.
Northeast Assets#
(DLC1/levels/world/world_dlc1/tiles/tile_x09_y09)
X 4778
Y 4840
Z 268PC:
In the northeast area, there are a number of unused structures and objects.
This area is only bundled with the DLC on PC. I suspect this is another fumble that happened during the PC port of the game.
Assets shown in the first picture are referenced in the game files as mockup robot_foundry.
PS4:
The tile corresponding to this area is in the game file, but it's empty. checking directly in the game confirms this area to be missing.
X:0 Y:0 Z:0#
X 0
Y 0
Z 0The origin of the world has a structure with collisions.
Unused Dialogue#
The Naming Cliff#
Visiting the out-of-bounds naming cliff will have Aloy say a few unused lines reminiscing about Rost.
Aloy: The Naming Cliff...! Has to be.
Aloy: Rost told me of this place...
Aloy: The Nora declare the names of their children to All-Mother here.
Aloy: To think he stood here once...
Aloy: That he named me here...
Aloy: Rost.
Unused Assets/Models#
Assets and Models that can be found in the game files, unviewable without third party tools.
wpg_chest#
(models/test/wpg_chests/model.core)
Unused chest nowhere to be found in-game, used in HFW dev builds to obtain Items/Weapons in the playtest area even though they have different Text meshes.
Chest is composed of 3 meshes, the bottom chest, the lid and the text.
There are four variants of the text mesh. One is empty/invisible, the other three read: TOOLS, RESOURCES, CONSUMABLES.
(Ingame image from HFW (left), render from HZD game files (right))
duckman/replaceme#
(entities/characters/replaceme.core)
Unused "Legacy" character with a duck head and a sign telling developers to replace the model.
Unused code#
Functions and gameplay mechanics that can be found in the game code, but are not accessible during a normal playthrough.
Attach Rope#
Allows the tripcaster to attach a rope to an object (requires a special kind of ammo that no ropecaster has).
Unused Text#
Text and localizations that can be found in the game code, but are not accessible during a normal playthrough.
