Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Frequently Asked Questions
- help_outline Is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora connected to the James Cameron movies?Yes, it is set within the official Avatar canon, taking place in a new region of Pandora (the Western Frontier) roughly concurrent with the events of 'Avatar: The Way of Water.' While it features a new story and characters, it respects and expands upon the established lore, flora, fauna, and themes of the films.
- help_outline Do I need to have seen the Avatar movies to play the game?While familiarity with the movies will enhance appreciation of the world and lore, the game is designed to be accessible to newcomers, introducing key concepts about Pandora, the Na'vi, and the RDA through its narrative.
- help_outline Is the game first-person or third-person?The game is primarily played in first-person when on foot. However, it switches to a third-person perspective when riding mounts like the Ikran or Direhorse, and during certain cinematics or interactions.
- help_outline How does combat work? Can I only use Na'vi weapons?Combat features a dual system. Players can utilize traditional Na'vi weapons like bows, spear-throwers, and staff slings, which are often better for stealth and hunting. They can also use scavenged RDA firearms like assault rifles and shotguns, which are more effective against RDA technology and armored units. Players can switch between these styles fluidly.
- help_outline Is there crafting and gathering in the game?Yes, crafting and gathering are core gameplay mechanics. Players gather resources from Pandora's diverse flora and fauna, as well as scavenge RDA tech. These materials are used to craft and upgrade weapons, gear, ammunition, and cook food for temporary buffs. The quality of gathered materials can affect the stats of crafted items.
