Gameplay & Mechanics
Companions/Followers
BD-1: Cal's constant and indispensable companion. BD-1 provides healing via Stim Canisters, projects a holographic map, hacks terminals and droids, fires electro-darts, uses a Koboh Grinder to clear paths, slices certain enemy types, provides ziplines, and collects scans for the Databank. Highly customizable cosmetically.
BD Unit Droid
Merrin (Temporary AI): Joins Cal as an AI-controlled combat companion during specific story missions and exploration segments. Uses powerful Nightsister magick for AoE attacks, traversal assistance (creating green bridges/paths), and can turn invisible to perform takedowns.
Human (Nightsister from Dathomir)
Bode Akuna (Temporary AI): Accompanies Cal on several missions as an AI companion. Fights effectively with blasters and jetpack maneuvers, provides covering fire, and assists with co-op actions like opening heavy doors.
Human (Mercenary)
Other Temporary Story Allies (e.g., Cere Junda, Greez Dritus - contextual): In specific narrative moments or combat encounters, characters like Cere or Greez might offer direct or indirect assistance, though they don't typically function as persistent combat companions in the field like Merrin or Bode.
Human, Latero
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
Key Collectibles
Priorite Shards: Shiny crystal shards found primarily on Koboh. Used as currency at Doma's Outpost Commodities shop in Rambler's Reach to purchase cosmetic items (outfits, BD-1 parts, lightsaber parts, music tracks) and other goods.
Jedha Scrolls: Ancient scrolls found in ruins and settlements on Jedha. Used as currency with specific vendors on Jedha (like Eno Cordova's contact) for unique items or lore.
Datadiscs: Data storage devices often found in High Republic era ruins or Imperial facilities, particularly on the Shattered Moon of Koboh. Can be traded to Zee at Pyloon's Saloon for Perks.
Treasures (Chests): Numerous chests scattered throughout all planets. Contain cosmetic items for Cal (outfit components, hairstyles, beard styles), BD-1 components, lightsaber parts, blaster parts, new material colors, or occasionally stim canister upgrades or perk slots.
Databank Entries (Force Echoes & BD-1 Scans): Interactable objects, terminals, or specific locations that trigger a Force Echo (revealing past events) or allow BD-1 to scan for information. These entries provide lore about the world, characters, creatures, factions, and the High Republic era, collected in Cal's databank.
Seed Pods (for Garden): Found by interacting with specific plants across various planets. These seeds can be given to Pili Walde on Koboh to grow in the garden atop Pyloon's Saloon, eventually yielding more plants for harvesting or cosmetic changes to the garden.
Fish (for Aquarium - Skoova Stev): Skoova Stev, a fisherman NPC, can be found at various fishing spots. Talking to him will have him catch a unique fish for the aquarium in Pyloon's Saloon. Each new fish adds to the aquarium's display.

Combat & Gear
Weapons Overview
Lightsaber (Single Blade Stance): Energy Sword (Versatile Melee)
Cal's primary weapon. The standard single blade stance offers a balance of attack speed, damage, and defense. Customizable with various emitters, switches, grips, and pommels (cosmetic) and blade colors.
Lightsaber (Double-Bladed Stance): Energy Sword (Crowd Control Melee)
Transforms the lightsaber into a double-bladed staff, excellent for fending off multiple enemies with wide, sweeping attacks. Good for defensive maneuvers.
Lightsaber (Dual Wield Stance): Energy Swords (Fast Melee, Offensive)
Cal wields two lightsabers (his own and a shoto, or Cere's lightsaber temporarily). This stance focuses on rapid attacks and aggressive combos, allowing for quick follow-ups but often sacrificing some defense. Can cancel out of attacks into a parry.
Lightsaber (Blaster Stance): Energy Sword & Blaster Pistol (Hybrid Melee/Ranged)
A new stance where Cal combines lightsaber attacks with a blaster pistol for ranged shots. Allows for unique combos integrating both melee and ranged pressure. The blaster has limited, recharging ammo.
Lightsaber (Crossguard Stance): Energy Sword (Heavy Melee, High Damage)
A new stance where Cal uses a lightsaber with a crossguard (similar to Kylo Ren's), focusing on powerful, deliberate, and heavy-hitting attacks that can break enemy guards. Slower attack speed but high damage output.
Cal's connection to the Force allows him to manipulate objects and enemies. Push and Pull are used for combat and puzzles. Slow temporarily freezes enemies or objects. Lift and Slam are powerful AoE attacks. Confusion can turn enemies against each other. Tame allows Cal to pacify and ride certain creatures.
Cal's droid companion, BD-1, can be upgraded to deploy stim canisters for healing, fire electro-darts to power conduits or stun enemies, hack enemy droids to fight for Cal, and use a grinder to clear obstacles or create paths.
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.
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.
Na'vi Staff Sling: Ranged (Explosive, Utility)
Launches crafted grenades or proximity mines. Useful for area denial, destroying RDA equipment, and dealing with groups of enemies or vehicles.
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.
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.

Perk slots are unlocked by finding specific characters or completing Jedi Meditation Chambers.
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).

Players can also apply different body paints, hairstyles, and adornments for further cosmetic customization.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor a direct sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order? A: Yes, STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor is a direct sequel, taking place five years after the events of STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order and continuing the story of Cal Kestis and his crew.
Q: Do I need to play Jedi: Fallen Order before Jedi: Survivor? A: It is highly recommended. Jedi: Survivor heavily builds upon the characters, relationships, and plot threads established in Fallen Order. While there's a recap option, playing the first game provides crucial context and significantly enhances the emotional impact and understanding of the sequel.
Q: How many lightsaber stances are there in Jedi: Survivor? A: There are five distinct lightsaber stances that Cal can master and switch between: Single Blade, Double-Bladed, Dual Wield, Blaster Stance (lightsaber and blaster pistol), and Crossguard Stance (heavy, powerful attacks).
Q: Is Jedi: Survivor an open-world game? A: Jedi: Survivor features several large, semi-open world planets that players can explore. These areas are significantly more expansive than in Fallen Order, with more side content and freedom of movement, but the game still guides players through a main narrative path across these planets. It's more 'wide-linear' with large explorable hubs rather than a completely seamless single open world like some other titles.
Q: Are there mounts in Jedi: Survivor? A: Yes, Cal can tame and ride certain native creatures on planets like Koboh (e.g., Nekko, Spamel) for faster ground traversal and accessing new areas.
Q: Does Jedi: Survivor have fast travel? A: Yes, players can fast travel between discovered Meditation Points within a planet and also use the Mantis to travel between different planets. Some planets also have specific fast travel networks (like Relter glides on Koboh).
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.
