GamesBeat: When she disables the machines, I didnt quite understand what she was doing. Is she somehow giving them some kind of electromagnetic pulse when she hits them?
Hulst: Thats her close combat weapon. She has that ability. But she doesnt have the raw power of the machines. Shell sometimes use the weapons you saw in the trailer, the weapons of the machines, against them. But she can also use electricity to stun them. She can use her rope gun tie them down. She has a rich range of weapons at her disposal.

Sounds good, I really do hope there's lots of melee weapons and use of them besides the bows and ropecasters. I personally prefer melee weapons over ranged weapons, so I hope they let you hunt with spears and swords too.
