Hunting wild animals in Horizon: Forbidden west may seem like a menial, pointless task at first until you head to a workbench and see the pouch upgrades. Upgrading ammo capacity and other inventory items requires you to kill a large number and variety of wild animals, something you don’t want to start doing late in the game. This guide will show you the exact amount of resources you need to upgrade all of the pouches in Horizon: Forbidden West.
To save you a lot of time and trouble, the table below contains the amount of different animals parts and the animal they come from so you can easily determine when you can stop killing a particular animal and which animals you need to start looking out for.
Since there are lots of different pouches you can get in this game that will increase the ammo capacity for various weapon types and inventory sections, I have broken everything down individually so you can focus more on the items you want. Since it can take some effort to hunt down all of the components, this will help you prioritize the specific ammo types that you use more often rather than wasting resources on weapons that you do not like using.
