- "If there's one thing I know about Boomer, it's that she can't resist a shiny pile of salvage."
- ―Delah
Boom or Bust is a side quest in Horizon Forbidden West.
Synopsis[]
Coincidentally, Delah once again meets Aloy in Hidden Ember, concerned for her sister Boomer, who has gotten lost somewhere in The Stillsands due to an argument. Aloy and Delah then head out and look for tracks, finding some of Boomer’s tools and inventions. They continue to follow the tracks until they find an area filled with machines and Boomer’s favorite tools, making Delah extremely concerned.
Delah and Aloy again follow some tracks left by Boomer, only to quickly find Boomer at a camp shelter after destroying some machines with an explosion. Boomer says she’s been testing a new weapon and finding the materials for it, much to Delah’s annoyance and relief. Boomer shows the weapon to be a Shredder Gauntlet meant to deliver acid payloads, although it is still missing a key component. Boomer leads Aloy and Delah to a machine site, which turns out to be a Shellsnapper site.
After killing the Shellsnapper and looting the needed component, Boomer gives Aloy the weapon as a gift, and Delah takes Boomer back home, noting that she has a new idea for a weapon.
