The new Burning Shores DLC of Horizon Forbidden West is here, bringing more than just a new adventure for our hero. Like any new content, this expansion features new outfits to collect and materials for upgrading weapons. If you’ve already progressed through the new story, you might have seen there are new things for you to unlock. Yet, it won’t be as easy as a simple visit to a vendor. The new outfits and items in this DLC will require a specific resource called Brimshine. While the game doesn’t tell you much about it until you find one, it is an essential material you must watch for. Here we’ll tell you where to find Brimshine in Horizon Forbidden West.
Where to find Brimshine in Horizon Forbidden West
You might remember that the base game had a green-crystal material called Greenshine. In Burning Shores of Horizon Forbidden West, Brimshine is essentially the same in terms of use. You’ll also find it by exploring and sending your Focus pulse, which will have you pressing that R3 button constantly once you arrive in a new area. The best way to find Brimshine in Horizon Forbidden West is by scanning any new area you unlock.
While this resource won’t appear on the Burning Shores map, there’s a tip we have to find it faster. You can follow the main story or side quests to find a few. We’ve found some crystals already just by playing the story and taking on some side missions. With this, you won’t miss any Brimshine as long as you scan your surroundings.

Most outfits require 8× Brimshine to buy and more to upgrade. If you only want the cosmetic item to apply as a visual effect, you can just buy the gear in Horizon Forbidden West and forget about upgrading. This means you won’t have to scour all of this post-apocalyptic version of Los Angeles to find it.
Yet, to upgrade the new armor, you must search far and wide. When you scan your area, check for any yellow glow. This will lead you to the location of these crystals. While some are easy to get, others might require you to solve a quick puzzle or use your tools to access certain areas. Thankfully, you’ll have everything with you as the DLC requires you to finish the main story first. Now that you know where to find Brimshine in Burning Shores of Horizon Forbidden West, get ready to start scanning this new landscape that Guerrilla Games have created.
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is available now on PlayStation 5.
