Players increase their rank by earning XP, which unlocks access to better gear and weapons from vendors. Resolver weapons and Supremo backpacks provide unique, powerful active abilities and are crafted/upgraded at workbenches using gathered resources like Depleted Uranium.

• Q: Is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora connected to the James Cameron movies?
  A: 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.
• Q: Do I need to have seen the Avatar movies to play the game?
  A: 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.
• Q: Is the game first-person or third-person?

• Q: How does combat work? Can I only use Na'vi weapons?
  A: 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.
• Q: Is there crafting and gathering in the game?
  A: 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.

• Q: Can I free the entire map in co-op?
  A: Yes, the full main campaign and world activities (like liberating FND bases) can be played in two-player online co-op. Story progress is saved for the host only, but guests keep acquired items and progression.
