Volatile Sludge is a very rare resource in Horizon Forbidden West. It can be looted from powerful machines, Apex machines, or purchased from select Hunters. If the Part Breaker Valor Surge is activated (at level 2 or 3), there is a low chance of it dropping from the scrap produced.
This very rare resource is a primary crafting ingredient for most advanced and elite ammunition and traps.
