You need the golden fast travel pack for infinite fast travel. Only requires 50 Metal Shards, a Fox Skin and 10 fatty meat.

@lieutenantFatman Is this for real ? and if so and i've the required resources how do i get it ? i'm sorry if this is a stupid question but i'm new to the game.

@TheNomadLad
The first place you can get one is from a merchant just outside Meridian. But any tier 2 merchant should have one for sale, apparently. It's just the fox skin that can be a bit tricky to get.

Finally downloaded this last night. I hope to join in and try out the Frozen Wilds content within the next couple days. I got busy and side tracked and didn’t finish the last two Hitman levels though and I want to eventually go back to clean those up. It’s been fun to read everyone’s experiences!

I’m just off to start The Frozen Wilds proper. Finished off the platinum instead last night.

Have to say I've only used fast travel once, just to get from meridean to the dlc area. No idea that there was a golden fast travel bundle though! Have got back up to speed with the combat and had forgot how good the machine combat was (and by extension, how pants fighting humans is). Progress wise, I have finished the frostclaw encounter and am ready for the for the Werek challenge . The game looks really nice and is smooth but would look even better if there was a 60 fps patch. Only thing that's throwing me that I had not noticed before is that rapid firing my carja war bow, the animation looks like Buddy the elf throwing snow balls 😂

Took care of the Tallneck so that’s done at least! Gone into the ruins thingy now as part of the Waterlogged quest. Really like the environment so far. Glad there’s plenty machines to fight because oh man, I forgot just how much of a colossal difference there was between how good the machine fights are and how unbelievably terrible the human fights are.

Did they really have to have the bandit camp and hunting grounds part of the main story 😂😂

@nessisonett
You can skip one of them, I left out the hunting grounds.

@nessisonett pretty much my thoughts too! I actually posted that in gaming peeves thread as a think dlcs. For the bandit camp, find yourself a murder bush to hide in and watch people ignore the pile of corpses as you whistle them over one at a time to their death!

The hunting grounds in frozen wilds had one of the best challenges IIRC.

@Octane tbh anything in that game that involves any machine combat is brilliant. I have only done one of the hunting challenge for frozen wilds but I remember the thunderjaw one in the final hunting ground of the main game to be one of the best things in that game.

@R1spam I liked how it was visually different from the others. I wish the sequel would do more of that. Some machines with arrows and/or spears stuck into them.

Beat the bandit camp there. Not fun. The flamethrower’s good though. It’s just amazing how absolutely rubbish the combat against people is. The machine combat has never been better with the added control towers and variants of existing machines. Whereas the bandits just do 400 damage with one hit to make it ‘difficult’.

@nessisonett for the sequel human combat either needs overhauled or removed. I I have finished the main quest for the expansion and loved the final mission, would be good to see what others think of it. I'm not sure I'll do all the side-quests yet, though I might head back to the hunting grounds for the last two trials.

I finished the main quest and a couple of the side quests, I enjoyed the story telling, some good characters in there. Hope to see some of them in HZD2. The boss battles were a fun challenge as well.

I had five fast travel packs from my previous run and used one to get to the dlc area. Can’t say I really feel the need to fast travel when you are doing the main story line or side quests. The world feels interesting and small enough to travel from point to point. It took me a while to get back up to speed with the combat and the aggression of the machines but when it finally clicked it was wonderfull again. I’m really impressed by the beautiful vistas and music, even on the base PS4. Can’t wait for Forbidden West (or to find a PS5...)

I beat the main quest of The Frozen Wilds there. It was pretty good imo, even if it kinda flew by. There were what, 5 main quests? It’s a great area and the new machines are good fun, even if two are just reskins of each other. I wish there was a bit more new music around The Cut and that they’d just dump the janky parkour but other than that, it was a good DLC. Other than the aforementioned janky parkour. God, the cauldron was a chore.

@RogerRoger It’s a shame because the setting was unique enough to warrant different music. It would have gone a long way to making the Banuk stand out as really being like a different world, with their own traditions distinct from the other tribes.

Yeah I've finished up, I did a couple of errand missions to upgrade weapons and the three hunters side mission after the main mission, which finished in one of the most beautiful area I've seen in any game! It was filled with sort of giant causeway-esque rock formations with ponds, shame about all the robots trying to kill me! Have to say as beautiful as some of the scenery was and as awesome as some of the robot fights were, the dlc was a bit underwhelming compared to the base game. I'm not sure I used any of the new skills from the dlc at all, I can't even tell you what they were. Hope they were saving their powder for forbidden west!
