The Sling is a slow firing weapon in Horizon Zero Dawn that specializes in lobbing elemental payloads at targets and putting them into vulnerable states. Upon impact, the bombs leave a large area of the element on the ground. Due to its low damage output, it is advisable to use other weapons to follow up attacks on enemies. In New Game+, the Shadow variant of this weapon is no longer sold by merchants, and is replaced by an Adept version with an additional modification slot.
