As reported by PlayStation LifeStyle, and originally discovered by a Reddit user named AlbusDumbldor, theBurning ShoresDLC forHorizon Forbidden Westfeatures the Toy Bow fromThe Last of Us Part 2. For those unaware, users get to play with the bow during the aquarium sequence inThe Last of Us Part 2. As seen in the image shared by AlbusDumbldor, the Toy Bow inBurning Shoresneeds Toy Arrows as ammo, and fans can craft these arrows using a fairly minimal number of resources.
The player has also shared information about the Toy Bow’s location in the DLC, confirming that gamers can acquire it from the given spot in themap ofHorizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores. The Reddit poster perhaps jokingly calls it the greatest weapon in theBurning Shoresexpansion, but it looks like they were unaware of its connection toThe Last of Us Part 2. TheBurning ShoresDLC probably includes even more references to other PlayStation franchises, but it may take some time for fans to discover all of them.
While the Toy Bow is a neat easter egg, developer Guerrilla Games also added a bunch oflegendary weapons to theBurning ShoresDLC ofHorizon Forbidden West. Some of these legendary weapons can be purchased from vendors, while others are given as rewards for completing quests. It looks like many of these weapons require players to trade in 3,000 Metal Shards and eight pieces of Brimshine, so fans may want to save these precious resources.
Horizon Forbidden Westis available now on PS4 and PS5.
