General[edit | edit source]

Mount Yeets, also known as Mount Teleports, Mount Fast Travels, and various other names are a glitch in Horizon Zero Dawn whereby the player can achieve a very high speed by using overriding and fast travelling. The original discoverer of the glitch is unknown.

How To Activate[edit | edit source]

Mount yeets are activated by starting an override on anything, whether that be a machine, a cauldron door or even a cauldron node, followed by fast travelling to a separate location before the overriding bar shows up on screen. The player will then be launched in a partially controllable direction.

Mechanics[edit | edit source]

The exact mechanics behind mount yeets are unknown, but it has been theorised that it has something to do with the interrupted override or possibly a vector scaling mistake. However, what we do know is that a mount yeet gives you the as of right now highest possible achievable speed in Horizon Zero Dawn in a partially controllable direction. The direction a mount yeet takes you in, as well as the amount of height, almost certainly has to do with distance to the mount upon opening the map, as well as the position in relation to the mount and in relation to where you are fast travelling. The player will likely encounter several loading screens, and has a seemingly random chance of getting an Infinite Loading Screen.

Additionally, the player has a good chance of dying from a mount yeet, likely due to the high speed. The player may also find Aloy slowly rising out of the ground or slowly descending from the air. This only affects Aloy's model, and not the actual position of Aloy. It is unknown why this happens.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Mount Yeets have, as of the time of writing, only been implemented into 1 category: Smack%. This is because Smack% is short and optimised enough to make inclusion of mount yeets realistic. A lot of testing has been done with mount yeets, and other possible uses have been found, such as yeeting yourself to the Eclipse Base from Meridian, but none of these finds have been consistent enough to consider using in the categories they apply to.
