The Tripcaster is a stealth weapon type in Horizon Forbidden West.

Description[]

The Tripcaster remotely places Tripwire traps between two horizontal points, either shocking them, burning them, priming for a plasma blast, or dealing explosive damage when detonated. This weapon is more useful on larger machines, narrow spaces or tightly clustered groups of smaller enemies. Certain Tripcasters are capable of deploying shields, creating a portable cover from projectile attacks.

Unlike in Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy can now trip her own tripwires and thus take damage and status effect buildup from them. This can be reduced with the Resilient Trapper skill. The total number of tripwires has also been reduced, with a max of two placed at default though it can be increased through the Trap Limit skill. In addition, tripwires take a brief moment to arm.

As none of the tripwires are capable of Tear damage, they can only destroy components instead of removing them.
