Silent Strike is a learnable Prowler skill in Horizon Zero Dawn and a starting skill in Horizon Forbidden West.
Use[]
The Silent Strike Skill lets the player perform a very damaging melee attack on any enemy that is not yet fully aware of the player's presence, most often accomplished by hiding in tall grass or sneaking up from behind.
The attack will instantly kill nearly any human and most smaller machines. If the attack doesn't instantly kill, it deals a large amount of damage and briefly stuns it. Any other enemies will not be automatically alerted to Aloy's presence unless they see her within a certain distance.
