Horizon Zero Dawn Fast Travel - how to get the Golden Fast Travel Pack for unlimited fast travel

How and where to get your hands on the hugely useful Golden Fast Travel Pack.

Fast Travel in Horion Zero Dawn works a little differently to the standard method we've come to expect from open-world adventure games.

Unlike most, it's limited, relying on Fast Travel Packs - items carried by Aloy - in order to work. However, there is a way to unlock that mechanic and grant unlimited fast travel to any discovered Campfire, thanks to the Golden Fast Travel Pack .

So, exactly how does fast travel work , how do you get the Golden Fast Travel Pack , and how exactly do you unlock unlimited fast travel in Horizon Zero Dawn ? All of that is explained here in our guide, below.

How does fast travel work in Horizon Zero Dawn?

Fast Travel in Horizon Zero Dawn revolves around Campfires or, more specifically, Campfires you've already visited.

You don't have to have saved at them or even interacted with them, just have got close enough to have the text pop up on screen that it's been discovered. From then on, you'll be able to fast travel to that location, provided you have one other thing: a Fast Travel Pack.

In the early stages of the game, these are found from certain vendors or, if you're lucky maybe a random crate or slain human enemy.

These Packs act as one-time-use consumables, meaning you'll need to stock up, at a fair bit of expense to both your time and Metal Shards, if you want to fast travel often - and as the game progresses, you probably do.

How to get the Golden Fast Travel Pack in Horizon Zero Dawn

Enter, the Golden Fast Travel Pack. Narratively unexplained but nonetheless incredibly useful, this pack will let you travel an unlimited number of times, without worrying about stocking up your inventory.

It's obtained from a number of Traders around the world of Horizon, although for the record we sourced ours from the merchant just outside Meridian, by the big bridge leading into the city.

How much does the Golden Fast Travel Pack cost? Well, it's relatively cheap:

• 50 Metal Shards - obtained from all kinds of sources but, most commonly, from slain machines or selling items to merchants.
• 1 Fox Skin - somewhat harder, although far from impossible, to obtain. This drops randomly from wild Foxes you can hunt anywhere on the map. Forresty areas are generally the best, and we found one after only killing a handful, so it shouldn't take you long.
• 10 Fatty Meat - this, again, is quite easy to find. It comes from any wild animal you can hunt, so you can normally pick some up from a quick trip into the wild where you can hunt Boar, Turkey, and Fox at your will.

For more tips, explainers and advice on Horizon be sure to check out our main Horizon Zero Dawn guide and walkthrough hub, which includes advice for things like Horizon Zero Dawn's override Cauldrons and which machines they let you control, getting hold of the Golden Fast Travel Pack for unlimited fast travel , finding and unlocking the very powerful Horizon Zero Dawn Shield Weave Armour and Power Cell locations , and then for DLC players there's our main Horizon Zero Dawn Frozen Wilds walkthrough and guide , a page on how to earn Bluegleam quickly , and finally, a page on the handy A Secret Shared quest and how to upgrade your spear in Horizon Frozen Wilds .

Once you have the required items, simply head to a general goods merchant, and it can be found at the bottom of the 'Resources' tab, shaded in purple for Very Rare.

That's all you need to know in terms of fast travel, but for more tips and tricks, take a look at our hub page, featuring a complete Horizon Zero Dawn walkthrough and guide for the main story, as well as our guide to all Power Cell locations for the secret Shield-Weave armour , too.

Horizon Zero Dawn: How to Fast Travel

Horizon Zero Dawn is a massive, sprawling game that requires a lot of travel, and as such, knowing how to fast travel can save players a lot of time.

Horizon Zero Dawn was released for PlayStation 4 in 2017 and PC in late 2020. With each release, players were floored by the sheer size of the map and the various biomes that accompanied them in Horizon Zero Dawn . But when a map is that large, the problem of quickly navigating it can hamper any game, no matter how great the rest of it is.

Fortunately, like many titles of its ilk, Horizon Zero Dawn and its DLC make use of a fast travel system. So, for players that eventually grow weary of traveling the vast landscape with its haunting beauty, they can take a break from the sights and quickly zip from one objective to the next.

How to Fast Travel

Fast travel around Aloy's post-apocalyptic wonderland is done via campfires. After finding the location of a campfire, its marker on the map (depicted as two crossed sticks with a flame above) will turn from white to green. So long as Aloy is close enough to the campfire, they can open the map to fast travel to any other discovered campfires. There aren't any restrictions on fast traveling, and there are no components needed to use it. So long as a player has found the campfire they want to travel to, they will be able to.

In addition to allowing Aloy to traverse the map quickly, campfires also serve as a point to save the game through either quick or manual saves. Merchants can also be typically found by campfires, and medicinal plants can often be found growing in abundance near campfires in the wilderness. While save spots or rooms will typically protect the player in other games, this is not the case in Horizon Zero Dawn . Dangerous machines can and will spawn near campfires and even wander toward them. However, players can exploit campfires as saving at one and reloading the came will completely restore Aloy's health.

As mentioned before, Horizon Zero Dawn is a gigantic game densely packed with all sorts of secrets, collectibles, harvestable items, and dangerous machines. Fully exploring it will take dozens of hours to complete, and using the campfires to fast-travel will save a lot of time.

Horizon Zero Dawn is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.

As Aloy traverses through the vast world of Horizon Zero Dawn , she may feel the pressing need to fast travel more and more, but fast travel packs are one-time-use items that quickly get annoying to restock. Fortunately for Aloy, there is an unlimited fast travel pack. Where can she get this golden fast travel pack?

Related:  All Power Cell Locations in Horizon: Zero Dawn

Fast travel isn't just a magical ability that allows Aloy to go anywhere though. First, she must traverse and discover campfires, settlements, cauldrons, and tallnecks throughout her travels. These spots will be her points that she can fast travel across the map.

How to Get the Golden Fast Travel Pack in Horizon Zero Dawn

As the standard fast travel packs are a one-use item and hard to find, players will likely have to stock up on them in the earlier stages of the game. At this point in time in the game, they can also be quite expensive as players will likely want to spend their metal shards on spears, bows , and other weapons to defeat the different metal monsters .

The golden fast travel pack is luckily not too difficult to get. This pack is available at any merchant that is above the second tier. This pack can be bought for either 50 metal shards, one fox skin, and 10 pieces of fatty meat in a regular game or 2,000 metal shards, three fox skins, and 30 pieces of fatty meat in a new game plus. While metal shards are the main form of currency in the game, they are often bolstered with an added trade item.

In this case, the fox skin and fatty meat. Obviously, the fox skin can be taken from any fox, but may not spawn with every one hunted. The fatty meat can be hunted from animals such as the badger, boar, fox, goat, goose, owl, rabbit, raccoon, salmon, squirrel, trout, and turkey. With this in mind, a player will just need to take part in a little flesh and blood animal hunting to get their extra trading components for the golden fast travel pack.

With this pack in hand, Aloy will now be able to travel from one end of her discovered map to the other without any need to hesitate and think over her finances. This pack can help out players who are challenging themselves often and fighting metal monsters that they aren't quite positive on how to beat. Whether Aloy needs an easy escape route or is simply tired of fighting her way across the land, the golden fast travel pack is incredibly useful.

Horizon Forbidden West guide: Fast Travel

Warp between Campfires with or without Fast Travel Packs

In this Horizon Forbidden West Fast Travel guide, we’ll explain how to travel to or between Campfires and the item you’ll need to do it.

Horizon Forbidden West Fast Travel is straightforward enough, but has a couple of nuances that take a minute to understand. Fast Travel in Horizon Forbidden West moves you to Campfires that you’ve previously visited. Sometimes this costs you a Fast Travel Pack item, but not always.

Horizon Forbidden West Fast Travel

You need to have visited a Campfire to unlock it as a Fast Travel destination. You don’t have to save at the Campfire, but you do have to get close enough that you might as well save anyway. There are a ton of Campfires throughout Horizon Forbidden West ’s world, and it’s worth unlocking any you come across, just to make zipping back and forth across the map easier.

At (almost) any point while you’re exploring the world, you can open your map, hover over an unlocked Campfire, and hold down the right trigger to warp there. (Fast Travel is disabled while you’re in Quests or Cauldrons, or while you’re falling or gliding.) Fast Traveling this way costs you one Fast Travel Pack .

If you’re already at a Campfire, you can hit Circle to Fast Travel for free. That will take you to the map, where you’ll be able to select another Campfire to travel to. This does not consume a Fast Travel Pack — it’s free.

One quick note: If you’re zoomed out on the map, you can often select just the Settlement icon instead of zooming all the way in to the Campfire itself, but this works the same way as just selecting the Campfire.

Getting More Fast Travel Packs

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. Use left or right on the D-pad to select the Fast Travel Pack, and then hold down on the D-pad. This opens up a crafting menu.

Crafting a Fast Travel Pack requires 10 Ridge-Wood and 3 Wild Meat . You’ll find Ridge-Wood pretty much everywhere, but you’ll have to hunt Wildlife for the Wild Meat. You’ll loot it from animals like Wild Boars or Peccaries .

Horizon: Zero Dawn - How to Fast Travel

Get around the map quicker by learning how to fast travel in Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Horizon: Zero Dawn - Best Weapons in the Game

Get these best weapons in Horizon: Zero Dawn as soon as you can!

This guide will teach you how to fast travel in Horizon: Zero Dawn, so you won’t have to walk or ride from one end of the map to another! The map in Horizon: Zero Dawn is huge, so it’s understandable that you don’t want to waste time trudging along when you could simply fast travel!

How to Fast Travel

Learning how to Fast Travel in Horizon: Zero Dawn is rather simple and requires only two things. The first thing you must do is discover Campfires or Settlements. These locations, once known, will be marked on your map in green. You can then fast travel to these spots by selecting them and pressing R2.

However, before you actually zip off and fast travel in Horizon: Zero Dawn, you will need to get your hands on Fast Travel Packs. These items are rewarded upon completing a quest or can be purchased. While they are plentiful, they also take up precious slots in your backpack. Remember, one Horizon: Zero Dawn tip is to upgrade your storage whenever possible . Once you have Fast Travel Packs, you will be able to use them to fast travel in Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Where to Purchase Fast Travel Packs

Fast Travel Packs will cost you several resources, some of which are necessary when crafting ammunitions. In order to purchase a Fast Travel Pack from a merchant, you will need 2 Metal Shards, 15 Ridge-Wood, and 1 Rich Meat. One of the skills you should unlock first in Horizon: Zero Dawn to help you easily collect resources is the Quiet Sprint as it will help you run around collecting without drawing the attention of enemies.

This can be troublesome when first starting out, as these resources are used to craft other important items like ammunition for Aloy’s bow as well as for trading. Thankfully, you won’t have to purchase Fast Travel Packs forever as there is a way to get unlimited fast travels in Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Now that you know how to craft, purchase, and earn Fast Travel Packs, you will be able to fast travel between campfires and settlements you've discovered. No more walking around the map for you! If you read this guide, you should now know how to fast travel in Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Horizon Zero Dawn: How To Get Unlimited Fast Travel | Beginner’s Guide

Only on PS4: Here's how fast travel works in Horizon Zero Dawn. You'll need materials for each trip -- unless you unlock an infinite supply of travel packs.

The post-apocalypse of Horizon Zero Dawn isn’t exactly a friendly place. With massive mechanical beasts and crazed cultists, there’s plenty of reasons why you’ll want to safely skip out on those long treks back to civilization. The only problem? It’ll cost you — fast travel doesn’t come free in Horizon Zero Dawn , and you’ll have to pay in the long-run, or drop a lot of scrap early to unlock an unlimited amount of fast travel.

Below, we’ll describe how to craft Fast Travel Packs, and how to get the special Golden Fast Travel Pack that unlocks an infinite amount of fast travel tokens. Either way, you’re going to have to save some parts / materials.

Fast Travel — How It Works

Similar to any other open-world adventure, you’ll be able to travel to-and-from any campfires or settlements you’ve discovered in the world. Bring up the map and select the icon to initiate fast travel — if you’ve got a special item called a “ Fast Travel Pack “.

The Fast Travel Pack is what you’ll need to move around freely (and quickly) in the world of Horizon Zero Dawn. These packs can be crafted anywhere if you’ve got the ingredients.

Fast Travel Packs aren’t cheap. You’ll need to save up plenty of materials to stay stocked on fast travel, especially if you plan on using it regularly.

• Scroll down to “Travel” and Select the Pack Icon
• x15 Ridge-Wood
• x1 Fatty Meat
• x1 Bony Meat

There’s another way you can fast travel without crafting endless Fast Travel Packs — you can purchase the Golden Fast Travel Pack using in-game currency from a vendor.

How to Unlock Unlimited Fast Travel

If you’re planning on fast travelling early and often, you can purchase a Golden Fast Travel Pack from a vendor. Buying this item completely replaces Fast Travel Packs, allowing you to infinitely travel without using precious crafting materials every time. It isn’t that expensive, and can be unlocked fairly early in the game.

• Location: Go to the Meridian settlement and talk to the merchant in the market square to purchase a Golden Fast Travel pack in the Resources tab.
• x50 Metal Shards
• x1 Fox Skin
• x10 Fatty Meat

One Golden Fast Travel Pack costs a lot more than a simple Fast Travel Pack, but the investment is worth it. It’s easy to overlook this enhanced item at the bottom of the merchant’s resources list.

Horizon Zero Dawn: How to Fast Travel

With the release of Horizon Zero Dawn  — Complete Edition on PC, players are jumping into one of the best open worlds of the generation for the first time (or again after playing it on PS4). That said, you’ll probably want to fast travel around the world to make better use of your time. 

In Horizon , fast travel works a little differently than you might expect, so in this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you’ll need to know. Keep in mind, fast traveling works the same, whether you’re on PC or PS4 . 

How to Fast Travel in Horizon Zero Dawn

To fast travel, open your map and hover over one of the green Campfires scattered around the world. On PS4, you can press “R2” while hovering on it to fast travel.

For PC, it works the same, but obviously, if you’re using a different gamepad or mouse and keyboard, the input will be something different than “R2.” The map menu itself will tell you which button or key to press.  

When you do press the Travel button, a small menu will appear, letting you know fast traveling costs 1x Fast Travel Pack . This is to eliminate the ability to simply zip around the map with ease —  at least at first. If you don’t have a Fast Travel Pack, you can’t fast travel.

How to Get a Fast Travel Pack

Fast Travel Packs can be acquired in a couple of ways. Either you can purchase one from a merchant with the following materials:

• 2 Metal Shards
• 15 Ridge-Wood
• 1 Rich Meat

Or you can construct them yourself with:

• 1 Fatty Meat
• 1 Bony Meat

Both are effective  — just make sure you take a look at your resources to determine which will work best for you. For us, it was much easier to simply trade with a merchant than to try and make one ourselves, due to the availability of the required materials. 

We do recommend that you at least have one set of resources on hand to make one yourself, just in case you get caught in a spot in which you’d need to fast travel. You’ll be annoyed if you run out of packs and the materials needed to craft one, even if exploring Horizon  is a fun and rewarding experience.

There is one other way to fast travel towards the latter portion of the game, and it grants you unlimited uses. For this, you’ll need the Golden Fast Travel Pack .

Golden Fast Travel Pack

To acquire the Golden Fast Travel Pack, you have to purchase it from a merchant in Meridian City , but it will only be available once you’ve reached the “ Into the Borderlands ” quest.

It will cost:

• 50 Metal Shards
• 10 Fatty Meats

If you’ve explored thoroughly and taken the time to hunt animals, you’ll probably already have the 50 Metal Shards and the 10 Fatty Meats needed to purchase the pack. If not, Metal Shards are found on the corpses of machines, while Fatty Meats are best acquired from killing wild boars. Though, many animals will reward you with Fatty Meats, so keep hunting, and you’ll get 10 in no time.

The real challenge will be in locating and acquiring Fox Skin . It’s best to search for foxes in green areas of the map that contain grass . You can click in “R3” on PS4 to easily locate animals around you.

Do note that the Fox Skin won’t immediately drop for you. It’ll take several tries, but eventually, a fox will drop the skin. Luckily, you only need one. 

That’s everything you need to know about fast travel in Horizon Zero Dawn , including how to get various travel packs. For more on HZD , please visit its hub page here .

Horizon Zero Dawn – How to Fast Travel

Horizon Zero Dawn’s world is huge and players might not want to walk everywhere they go. Fortunately, there is another way to travel around the world, and that is accomplished by Fast Traveling. Fast Travel in Horizon Zero Dawn works a bit differently than other games.

In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know about Fast Travel in Horizon Zero Dawn. We will even let you know how to get the Golden Fast Travel Pack!  

How to Fast Travel in Horizon Zero Dawn

Fast Travel in Horizon Zero Dawn relies on two things. First, you must have discovered Campfires or settlements around the game world. Once you have discovered these locations, they will be marked green on your World Map. You can then select them and press R2 to Fast Travel to them.

If you want to actually travel anywhere, you’re going to need Fast Travel Packs, which are special resources you can purchase or receive from quests that Aloy completes during her journey. These items aren’t generally hard to come by, but they will cost you both space in your backpack, as well as resources.

Fast Travel Packs can be purchased from merchants for 2 Metal Shards, 15 Ridge-Wood, and 1 Rich Meat. This not only takes away your Rich Meat, which is a useful material to hold onto for trading, but it also takes away from your Ridge-Wood supply, which is needed to craft more ammunition for Aloy’s bow. This is the main reason that purchasing Fast Travel packs is annoying, as it requires you to constantly pick up more resources on your journey to other areas.

Thankfully, you don’t have to purchase Fast Travel Packs forever. Once you’ve made your way through the game and followed the quest, The City of the Sun to Meridian, you’ll have the option to purchase a Golden Fast Travel Pack. This item allows you to Fast Travel an unlimited amount of times, but it does come at a hefty price.

How to Get the Golden Fast Travel Pack

To purchase the Golden Fast Travel Pack you will need 50 Metal Shards, 1 Fox Skin, and 10 Fatty Meat. Fatty Meat aren’t exceptionally hard to come by, and at this point you should have plenty of Shards collected in your pack. The Fox Skin could turn out to be a bit troubling for some players to acquire, though, as animal skins are not guaranteed drops. 

With the proper items in tow, make your way to Meridian and speak with a Hunters Goods merchant to buy the pack.

Once you have the Golden Fast Travel pack, you can easily Fast Travel to any location you’ve already discovered in Horizon Zero Dawn.
