Horizon: Zero Dawn is a game that contains a lot of threats that endanger the character. However, with the help of weapons and armor that are further empowered and strengthened by mods, these threats would be nothing more than just a walk in the park. Some players ignore this feature because they don't get strong mods, however for the majority of players, they work hard in collecting the rarest or the purple mods in order to get the best out of the game.
Easiest Way To Farm Purple Mods
According to Gamefaqs, if the player is just at the beginning of the game and would already like to get the best mods (purple mods), they could just follow these simple instructions. At the bottom left part of the map, specifically at the distant west of the Embrace, there is a grove that contains two Scrapper piles.
At least one of the Scrapper piles would contain purple mods, however, there are times that both piles have purple mods and sometimes there won't be purple mods. After getting the rare mods or if there are no rare mods, players need to go to a bonfire then do a quick save and then reload the game to respawn the Scrappers and the two piles.
Although this is just the easiest way to farm purple mods, it is not the only known way to collect them. And in order to do the other option, the player needs to be strong enough and adequately equipped.
Another Way To Farm Purple Mods
In an article by Game Skinny, there is another way to farm triple stat purple mods. Unlike the previous method mentioned above, this particular method is guaranteed to always give purple mods, and it is by killing a Thunderjaw.
The first thing the player needs to do is to make sure that they are strong and equipped enough to kill a Thunderjaw. Once the player is sure, they need to locate a Thunderjaw which is near a bonfire. And fortunately, if the player takes the main road going to Meridian City, they would eventually find a bonfire with a Thunderjaw just a mere 50 feet away.
There are multiple ways of taking down the Thunderjaw. Players could either use Tearblast Arrows to remove the disk launchers at the back to use it against the creature or they could use Rope Caster to tie down the Thunderjaw then freeze it to receive more damage and then attack the creature until it dies.
After the Thunderjaw has been dealt with, players can now loot the body for purple mods, then head back to the bonfire that was seen earlier and do a quick save. Afterward, Players need to pause the game and select Reload Last Save. This would respawn the Thunderjaw and would allow the player to repeat the process, thus collecting more and more purple mods.
