Summary
The fantastical world of Pandora is a beautiful place with lush jungles, gravity-defying floating islands, and vast plains that offer you an escape into an alien environment like no other. But, this distant moon also has hidden threats like predatory wildlife and human enemies from the RDA.
ButAvatar: Frontiers Of Pandoraprovides you with plenty of weapons to battle foes across the landscape as you work to preserve the Na’vi home. You play as a Na’vi, but you’ll have access to traditional Pandora weapons, such as bows and arrows, and modern RDA firearms to drop enemies. But which weapons offer you the best chance and deal the most damage against your attackers?
8So’Lek’s Lighting Heavy Bow
This longbow is not only powerful but deals shocking damage to the RDA
In Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, you’ll encounter formidable adversaries in the form of RDAsoldiers in large mech suits. But certain weapons like So’Lek’s Lighting Heavy Bow pack a punch in the form of storm arrows that release electricity on contact.
Electrical current helps incapacitate mech suits for a short time, allowing you to deal damaging blows unimpeded. You’ll need to find the specs for this weapon and build it using potent ingredients like a superior-quality root.
7Jackhammer Shotgun
An FPS staple that remains reliably powerful even in Pandora
If you have any experience with FPS games, you won’t be surprised there is a shotgun on this list.Many games offer you the firepower of 12-gauge shells, and Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora is no exception.
This beast offers a base damage of 140 and a quick fire rate to maximize your attacks. The Jackhammer Shotgun is one of the best weapon choices, especially early in the campaign when you run into RDA soldiers.
6Staff Sling
Trap, trick, or explode your enemies with this useful Na’vi weapon
While the Na’vi don’t have a technological advantage against the RDA, it doesn’t mean their weapons are any less ingenious or lethal. The Staff Sling is an exciting variation of a grenade launcher and allows you to hurl traps, explosives, and items used to distract foes.
You won’t need to craft this weapon or search for it; it’s given to you during a quest. The staff sling proves highly useful when used at close distances in conjunction with proper cover.
5Assault Rifle
This weapon has a high fire rate, sending a barrage of rounds toward enemies
The Assault Rifle is a weapon you can procure from the RDA and offers some advantages during combat. With this rifle, you deal significant damage to enemies and can loot destroyed mechs for extra rounds, making it easy to replenish ammo.
Yet, be cautious with this weapon during firefights, as you can empty magazines quickly, leaving you vulnerable. While the fire rate is high, the Assault Rifle does take a bit of extra time to reload but it still offers one of the best choices in the game.
4Aranahe Poison Heavy Bow
Deal standard and toxic damage to the RDA from long-range
This mighty bow has a steep learning curve but provides absolute devastation when unleashed on the enemies. The Aranahe Poison Heavy Bow takes more time to fully draw than other choices, so your shots must be timed and aimed properly.
This Na’vi weapon also deals poison and arrow damage for a combined wallop of epic proportions. For the best results, use the Aranahe Poison Heavy Bow at long range to eliminate foes at a distance.
3Solali’s Spear-Thrower
Close-range power with bonus damage to the RDA
This useful weapon requires you to speak with a character named Solali and craft it with premium materials for optimum results. Solali’s Spear-Thrower is potent at close range and deals extra damage to the RDA, allowing you to take them down quicker.
While definitely a great choice of weapon for your adventure, Solali’s Spear-Thrower could take some time to learn. You must charge the attack before throwing, but remember the spear releases automatically once charged, so timing is critical.
2RCA-SCII Light Shotgun
Unstoppable at close range, this shotgun blasts through RDA soldiers and mechs alike
Don’t let the word “Light” fool you into thinking this shotgun is anything but dominant on the battlefields of Pandora. Arguably one of the best close-range options in the game, the RCA-SCII Light Shotgun rips through RDA enemies without mercy.
Though this weapon is fierce up close, it doesn’t have much range and won’t help you defeat enemies at a distance. There are plenty of mods that can further enhance the weapon. However, the base RCA-SCII Light Shotgun is a potent foundation from which to build.
1Kitangi’s Venomous Longbow
Use poison arrows from long-range early on in the campaign for effective results
While there are other options for bows with poisonous arrows, Kitangi’s Venomous Longbow makes the list asthe weapon is accessible early on. You either buy this weapon from the Aranahe Home Tree or craft it after receiving the recipe.
You may graduate to more powerful options like the Aranahe Poison Heavy Bow later on, but Kitangi offers a robust Na’vi option right out of the gate. If you craft the weapon, ensure you use the best materials available, as its damage rating can vary wildly depending upon its construction.
