Even though a big part of the upgraded traversal and exploration experience in Horizon Forbidden West encourages you to glide, zipwire and grapple around the map, there are still going to be times where you want to get from A to B in a flash. To that end, you're going to need to know how to fast travel in Horizon Forbidden West. The system has changed a little bit since the first game – and some of the quality of life elements from Zero Dawn have seemingly been removed from the sequel – so with that in mind, we've put together all the information you need to know about unlocking, using and making the most of Aloy's peculiar ability to teleport around the map on a whim. How do you fast travel in Horizon Forbidden West?To fast travel in Horizon Forbidden West, you need to first go within about 20m of a Campfire. These can be found in settlements, out in the world, or near key locations. They are also located at Shelters – places that have a Workbench (for upgrading weapons and armor) and a Stash (where surplus items are stored). Campfires are used to save your game, and also act as handy locations you can teleport to on a whim. Once unlocked, you can use Fast Travel Packs to quickly and easily return to these locations. These items can be used in-game (scroll across to it on your item wheel, then hit down on the D-Pad) or from the world map (which you summon by hitting the touchpad). How do you fast travel for free in Horizon Forbidden West?Earlier on in the game, you probably won't have the money spare to be buying endless supplies of Fast Travel Packs, and crafting them can get a bit tiresome, too. Good news, though: you can Fast Travel for free from any Campfire you've unlocked. Simply go near the Campfire and press Circle. You will be taken to the world map, where you can select any previously unlocked location and hit R2 to immidiately be taken there. It's often worth going a little bit out of your way once you've cleared up a mission or side mission to find a Campfire and return to where you need to go in this way – it's cheaper, easier, and makes up for the fact that there doesn't appear to be a single, endlessly usable Fast Travel Pack in the game (like there was in Zero Dawn). How do you craft Fast Travel Packs in Horizon Forbidden West?To craft a Fast Travel Pack, you will need 10 Ridge-Wood and 3 Wild Meat. Ridge-Wood is found in pretty much every area of the game; it's the spindly white wood you can harvest from the world. Wild Meat is taken from animals that you have killed. In order to find animals that provide Wild Meat, hold down R3 to open your Focus, then search for glowing orange animals – shoot these with your bow for Wild Meat and items that will be used to upgrade your various pouches. To craft the pack, either find a Workbench and select the item from 'Resources', or hold down on the D-Pad in the wild to open your crafting menu. Then, hold X to craft. No matter where you are in the game (apart from during Story Missions), you will be able to use a Fast Travel Pack to return to any previously unlocked Campfire.

Why can't I fast travel in Horizon Forbidden West?Like any ability or skill in Horizon Forbidden West, fast travel needs to be unlocked. Players will need to complete a few missions and discover their first Campfire before fast travel becomes available. Campfires can be used in Horizon Forbidden West to fast travel for free, but they are limited to certain areas.
How do you get Fast Travel Packs in HFW?There are two ways to get more Fast Travel Packs: buying them from Traders or making them yourself. Almost every Hunter (weapons vendor) you come across will sell you a Fast Travel Pack for 25 Shards. That's not cheap, though, so it's often better to make your own.
Can you fly in Horizon Forbidden West?Before players can fly, they'll first need to complete the Gemini main story mission, during which, Aloy receives a Sunwing override key. They'll then have to initiate the Wings of the Ten mission, which begins with Aloy heading into the mountains near the base in order to find a Sunwing to override.
