sports_esports Gameplay & Mechanics
Companions/Followers
  • Ikran (Mountain Banshee): The player's primary aerial mount after bonding with one. Essential for traversing Pandora's vast vertical landscapes. Can be directed to attack RDA aircraft or ground targets, perform barrel rolls, and use a speed boost. Customizable with gear and cosmetic patterns. Its stamina and health can be improved through skills and food.
    Leonopteryxen (Banshee)
  • Direhorse (Pa'li): A swift six-legged ground mount, useful for quickly navigating flatter terrains like the Upper Plains. Can be called by the player. Its stamina can be improved. Less combat-focused than the Ikran but vital for land travel.
    Equidirus (Direhorse)
  • Temporary Animal Allies (Pacified Wildlife): While not persistent companions, the player, using their Na'vi connection, can sometimes pacify or briefly guide certain wildlife. This is less about direct combat command and more about leveraging the environment or creating distractions.
    Various Pandoran Fauna
  • DedSec Operatives (Player Controlled): The core gameplay revolves around switching between recruited DedSec operatives. While not AI companions in the traditional sense, the player effectively has a team. In online co-op, other players' operatives act as companions.
    Human (Various)
  • Spider-Bot (Infiltrator/Combat): A deployable gadget that can be remotely controlled to infiltrate areas, perform stealth takedowns, hack terminals, and (if upgraded to combat variant) engage enemies. Essential for reconnaissance and accessing small vents.
    Robot (Small Drone)
  • Drones (CT-Drone, Cargo Drone, News Drone, Riot Drone - Hackable/Summonable): Various drones populate London. DedSec can hack them to use for surveillance, distraction, or combat (e.g., turning an Albion CT-Drone against its owners). Certain operatives (like Construction Worker) can summon specific drones (Cargo Drone for riding/transport).
    Robot (Aerial Drone)
  • Bagley (AI): Serves as DedSec's mission handler and tech support, providing intel, sarcastic commentary, and coordinating operations. Not a physical companion but a constant presence via comms.
    Artificial Intelligence
Key Collectibles
  • Sarentu Totems: Ancient Sarentu clan totems found throughout the Western Frontier. Interacting with them often requires finding a specific vantage point to 'align' the totem, triggering a vision and sometimes rewarding an Ancestor Skill or skill points.
  • Windswept Kites & Dolls: Lost Na'vi kites or dolls, often caught in high, hard-to-reach places or hidden within environments. Collecting them typically grants Na'vi Favor with a specific clan and sometimes lore.
  • RDA Data Recorders / Audio Logs: Found primarily in or around RDA facilities and crash sites. These provide audio logs or text entries that offer insight into RDA operations, personnel, and their views on Pandora and the Na'vi.
  • Bellsprigs: Unique plants that, when touched, permanently increase the player's maximum health. Found in various hidden or guarded locations.
  • Aeolian Wind Flutes: Musical instruments that need to be played correctly (following a simple rhythm mini-game) to receive a reward, often Na'vi favor or a cosmetic item.
  • Tech Points: Found throughout London in restricted areas, on rooftops, or as mission rewards. Used to upgrade DedSec's universal tech gadgets (e.g., Spider-Bot abilities, AR Cloak duration) and hacking skills.
  • Audio Logs & Text Files (Data): Found on computers, phones, and data pads across the city. Provide lore about the world, characters, factions (Albion, Clan Kelley, DedSec, Zero-Day), and insight into the dystopian state of London.
  • Masks: Hidden in distinctive parcel boxes throughout London, often requiring parkour or puzzle-solving to reach. Unlocks cosmetic masks for operatives to wear.
  • ETO Caches (In-game Currency): Small stashes of ETO (the in-game currency) hidden in various locations, often in safes or less accessible areas.
  • Relics (Drink, Darts, Paste-Up locations for Borough Uprising): Activities required to complete borough uprisings, such as playing darts in a pub, drinking at a specific bar, or putting up DedSec propaganda posters. Not traditional collectibles but contribute to area liberation.

Weapons Overview
  • Na'vi Bows (Shortbow, Longbow, Heavy Bow): Ranged (Stealth, Precision, Hunting)
    Craftable bows with varying draw speeds, power, and effective ranges. Can use standard arrows, specialized arrows (e.g., explosive, electric, poison), and are crucial for hunting wildlife cleanly (for better resources) and stealth takedowns.
  • Na'vi Spear-thrower: Ranged (Heavy Damage, Anti-Armor)
    A powerful, short-to-mid-range weapon that launches heavy spears. Effective against armored RDA units, AMP suits, and large, aggressive fauna. Slower reload but high impact.

    Launches crafted grenades or proximity mines. Useful for area denial, destroying RDA equipment, and dealing with groups of enemies or vehicles.
  • RDA Assault Rifles: Firearm (Automatic, Versatile)
    Standard human firearms scavenged or looted from RDA forces. Offer sustained fire and are effective against RDA personnel and less armored targets. Can be modded.
  • RDA Shotguns: Firearm (Close Quarters, High Damage)
    Powerful close-range firearms, ideal for breaching RDA interiors or dealing with charging enemies. Different types (pump-action, semi-auto) available.
  • RDA Grenade Launchers: Firearm (Explosive, Anti-Vehicle)
    Heavy RDA weapon that fires explosive rounds, effective against AMP suits, vehicles, and fortified positions.
  • SID (System Interrogation Device): Tool/Non-Lethal
    A Na'vi tool used to hack RDA technology, disable security systems, override turrets, and gather intel. Can also be used to overload certain RDA weak points.
  • Lethal Firearms (Pistols, SMGs, Assault Rifles, Shotguns, LMGs, Grenade Launchers): Conventional Ballistic & Explosive
    A wide variety of standard firearms. Each operative class or specific recruit might have a preference or unique access to certain types (e.g., Spies get silenced pistols, Hitmen get Desert Eagles). Some weapons are DedSec issue, others are Albion or Clan Kelley specific.
  • Non-Lethal Weapons (Shock Weapons): Stun/Disruptive
    Weapons designed to incapacitate rather than kill, such as shock pistols, shock shotguns, and shock SMGs. Useful for players wanting a less lethal playthrough or for recruiting operatives who might be injured by lethal force.
  • DedSec Unique Weapons (e.g., LTL 68P DedSec SMG, DedSec Grenade Launcher): Faction Specific
    Special DedSec-themed versions of weapons, often with non-lethal variants or unique properties, unlocked through tech upgrades or as operative perks.
  • Melee Weapons (Batons, Wrenches, Fists): Close Quarters Combat
    Operatives can engage in melee combat. Some operatives are more proficient or have unique melee weapons/takedowns (e.g., Bare Knuckle Fighter, Construction Worker with Sledgehammer/Wrench).
  • Gadgets (Spider-Bot, AR Cloak, Electro-Fist, Missile Drone, etc.): Tactical/Hacking/Utility
    A wide array of deployable gadgets unlocked via Tech Points. These include various types of Spider-Bots (Infiltrator, Combat), an augmented reality cloak for temporary invisibility, shock traps, electro-fist for powerful melee, and more. Operatives can equip two gadgets.
  • Operative-Specific Weapons/Abilities (e.g., Spy Watch, Nail Gun, Berserker's Shockwave): Unique Character Perk
    Many operative archetypes come with unique inherent weapons or special abilities that cannot be unequipped or changed (e.g., Spy's silenced pistol & car, Construction Worker's nail gun, Anarchist's smoke grenade).
Armor / Gear Sets
  • Na'vi Gear (Head, Chest, Waist, Arm, Leg pieces): Players craft and equip various pieces of Na'vi gear made from Pandoran flora, fauna, and scavenged RDA materials. Each gear piece provides health bonuses and specific perks (e.g., increased damage with bows, better stealth, resistance to elements, more resources from gathering). Gear has quality tiers and can be enhanced with mods (crafted or found). Different Na'vi clans offer unique gear designs and associated perks, encouraging players to earn Favor with them.
  • Cosmetic Customization: Beyond stat-boosting gear, players can customize their Na'vi's appearance with body paints, hairstyles, and decorative elements. Some gear pieces also have a strong visual identity tied to their clan of origin or purpose.
  • Operative Traits (e.g., 'Tough Drunk', 'Physically Fit'): Individual operatives may possess traits that grant them inherent damage resistance or increased health (e.g., 'Tough Drunk' takes less damage while intoxicated, 'Physically Fit' might have more health). This is not traditional armor but contributes to survivability.
  • Gadgets (e.g., Riot Shield Drone - Hypothetical/Similar to existing tech): While no direct wearable armor is equipped, certain gadgets or operative abilities might provide temporary defensive bonuses or shields (e.g., a construction worker's cargo drone could be used as cover, or a specialized drone might project a temporary shield).
  • Clothing (Cosmetic): Clothing choices are primarily cosmetic and do not offer direct armor or damage reduction values. Operatives might appear more 'armored' based on their profession (e.g., an Albion soldier recruit), but this is visual.
Outfits/Customization
  • Na'vi Gear & Outfits: Players can equip various pieces of Na'vi clothing for the head, chest, waist, arms, and legs. These are crafted from materials found on Pandora (animal hides, plant fibers, bones) and scavenged RDA tech. Gear provides stat bonuses (health) and perks. Appearance varies significantly based on the clan design (Aranahe, Zeswa, Kame'tire) and quality. Players can also apply different body paints, hairstyles, and adornments for further cosmetic customization.
  • Ikran & Direhorse Gear: Players can customize their Ikran and Direhorse with different saddles, decorative patterns, and streamers, which are mostly cosmetic but some might offer minor gameplay benefits or are tied to clan favor.
  • Tops, Bottoms, Outerwear, Headwear, Eyewear, Masks, Gloves, Footwear: Extensive clothing customization for each operative. Players can purchase a wide variety of items from numerous clothing shops scattered around London, reflecting diverse London street styles, subcultures, and professional attire. Items include jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, trousers, skirts, shoes, hats, glasses, etc. Masks are a key cosmetic, with many unique designs to find or buy.
  • Full Outfits: Some pre-set outfits are available, often tied to specific operative archetypes (e.g., Albion uniform for an Albion recruit, construction gear for a worker) or purchasable as cosmetic sets.
  • Weapon Skins & Vehicle Skins: Players can apply various skins and paint jobs to their DedSec weapons and owned vehicles for further personalization. Unlocked through progression, challenges, or store purchases.

Skills & Progression

Player progression involves earning Skill Points by completing quests and activities, which are spent across five skill trees: Survivor (health, stealth), Warrior (Na'vi weapon proficiency), Hunter (RDA weapon proficiency, gathering), Maker (crafting, cooking), and Rider (Ikran and Direhorse abilities).

help_outline FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
  • 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?
    A: 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.
  • 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: What does 'Play As Anyone' mean in Watch Dogs: Legion?
    A: It means that nearly every non-player character (NPC) you see in the game's open world of London can be profiled, recruited, and become a fully playable member of your DedSec resistance. Each character has their own unique combination of skills, traits, weapons, and even daily schedules.
  • Q: Is there a main protagonist, or do you only play as recruited operatives?
    A: There isn't a single, fixed main protagonist in the traditional sense for the base game. You build your team from the citizens of London. However, the 'Bloodline' DLC features Aiden Pearce (from Watch Dogs 1) and Wrench (from Watch Dogs 2) as central playable protagonists for that specific story.
  • Q: Can my operatives permanently die?
    A: The game offers a 'Permadeath' option. If enabled, when an operative is critically injured (e.g., 'killed' in combat), they are permanently lost from your team. If disabled (default), operatives are instead arrested or hospitalized for a period, becoming temporarily unavailable.
  • Q: How does hacking work in Watch Dogs: Legion?
    A: Hacking is a core mechanic. Players can hack a wide variety of objects and systems: security cameras, drones, vehicles (distract, steer, weaponize), turrets, people's phones (distract, attract), environmental traps (explode junction boxes, raise bollards), and more. Advanced hacks are unlocked via Tech Point upgrades.
  • Q: Is Watch Dogs: Legion Online still active?
    A: Yes, Watch Dogs: Legion Online is active, allowing players to team up for co-op missions, Tactical Ops, engage in PvP modes like Spiderbot Arena, or explore London in free roam with friends. Content updates have slowed, but servers remain online.
