InAvatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, the RDA makes a mess of the planet. With pollution ruining the landscape, it’s up to you and the Resistance to stop further harm to the ecosystem, which means taking down different mining and extraction operations that take place across the continent.
There are many ways to infiltrate RDA outposts, regardless of where they’re located. Taking the best approach depends on what your skills are, how you like to play, and how much of a fight you want. Thankfully, we’ve come up with a few tips that can help you get in and out of the RDA outposts in one piece.
Survey The Area
There’sno need to rushwhen you’re infiltrating the RDA. Take your time and do your best to stay out of sight. Use your Na’vi senses to seewhere the controls are, mark your enemies, and identify weak points.
Whether you stay outside or slowly work your way in,don’t try to run in guns-blazing, as you’re likely to getoverwhelmed by the AMP suits and turrets.
Instead, take it slow andpick off enemies one at a timeas you’re able to. Make sure they’re out of their allies' line of sight so that the alarm isn’t raised. This will make it easier tomove around the outpost without getting caught.
You’ll getmore rewards if you handle things quietlyand don’t raise the alarm! This doesn’t mean you may’t use violence,but be discreet.
Hack The Controls
Once youset off the controls, either by flipping a switch or turning a wheel,the entire outpost will be on high alert. This makes enemies instantly hostile, which can be a big problem if you’ve only just started sabotaging the outpost.
Rather than alert the base right away, you canuse SID to hack the controls. When prompted to eitherexecute or hold the hack, opt to hold it. Thisstores it to be used later, making it a perfect way tobring the outpost down all at once.
You can alsohack AMP suits, though the rider willbecome immediately suspicious.
You can store these hacks as well, however, and activate them all at once if you get caught toaid your escape.
Continue to move around the outpost toget to all the controls, hack them, and then set them all offat once. Your enemieswon’t have a chance to retaliate.
You’ll have tofollow the power lines with SID to find the controls, which may bring you across the paths of multiple enemies. EIther silence them quickly or wait for them to pass before proceeding.
Deactivate The Turrets
Those pesky turrets will take you out quickly. Thankfully,they won’t raise the alarm, but you’ll have to deal with them one way or another. While you canfocus on their weak points, the best thing to do isdeactivate them entirely.
Using SID,get in range of the turrets' computer systemand hack it.Execute the hack immediately to deactivate the turret. No one will notice and you can move about without worrying about being targeted by them.
Silence The Alarm
Once you’re caught, one of the RDA enemies will raise the alarm andcall for reinforcements. You’ll want to eliminate them immediately–once the alarm is sounded, you’ll have30 seconds to act before reinforcements arriveat the outpost.
While you’llstill receive rewards for clearing the facility, you’ll hear comments about how the RDA had time to pack up and not much is left.
You’ll receiveless rewards than you would if the alarm was silenced, so be vigilant.
Fight Another Day
If you’re overwhelmed, there’s nothing wrong with retreating. TheNa’vi avoid unnecessary fights, and if you’re outmatched or need to get more supplies, you can alwayscome back later.
You can eitherfully retreat or hide just out of sightuntil your health recovers and your enemies areno longer hostile. This will buy you time to plan and regroup for a second (or third) attempt.
You’re on your ownwhen you take on an RDA facility, so there’s no backup for you. It’s okay to retreat andcome back with more ammo and foodto keep yourself in top form whileinfiltrating the mining and extraction facilities.
