Horizon: Forbidden West has many features at its core, which all seamlessly weave into one-another somehow. Whether that’s the open-world itself lending its hand to the game’s many traversal mechanics, or the crafting system making the looting side of the game feel rewarding. Speaking of the crafting system and the loot that goes into it, one of the things you’re going to need to do is upgrade and trade with vendors to claim new weapons that can aid you in the fight against the ferocious mechs of the Forbidden West . In the Burning Shores DLC, a new material has been added to the game, Brimshine. You can use this material for trading with vendors in Fleet’s End, for example, and is obtainable through finding it in the open-world. Here’s our guide on where to find Brimshine in Horizon: Forbidden West.

Finding Brimshine in Horizon: Forbidden West is a bit of a tricky affair. That’s because they’re everywhere in the open-world, and Brimshine is something you can only find in the Burning Shores area. While it is a little hard to find, it becomes a lot easier when you know of a certain trick or two there is to find it.
One trick you can use to find Brimshine in Horizon: Forbidden West is simply creating a job for it. You can do this by going to an item that needs Brimshine at a vendor and pressing the Triangle button.
