As you playAvatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, you’ll notice a massive, beautiful world filled with things to explore from locations to discover, outposts to infiltrate, and quests to complete. You also have a variety of equipment, including different weapons and gear pieces to tackle the game with.
While all of this is good, you still need to go out of your way to acquire certain materials for crafting your own equipment and cooking your own meals. One crucial aspect of this process is hunting. Hunting animals provides you with crafting materials and cooking ingredients essential for both crafting and cooking, but there’s more to it than just killing an animal.
How Does Hunting Work
In this game, there arevarious animals to hunt. Some act as predators and attack when they spot you, while others will run away if you get too close. To succeed,you need to be stealthyandapproach from a distanceto avoid alerting them.
The animals are categorized into different tiers:Young, Adult, and Mature. The higher the tier, the better materials and ingredients they can drop.
Before delving into the hunting process, there are a couple of things to note.
The recommended hunting weapon isthe Heavy Bow, known fordelivering high damage and accurate shots from a distance. However, using your Long Bow is also an option, especially if it deals more damage.
It’s crucial toavoid using RDA weapons or special ammunition when hunting animals, as it will diminish the rewards you receive from them.
When you’re on the hunt for specific materials or an animal, your go-to resource isthe Hunter’s Guide. It’s the best place topinpoint which biome the animal residesin andwhere you can find rarer versions of it.
Not only that, but the guide provides valuable insights intohow the animal reactsto proximity, whether they come in packs, or if they have heightened hearing. Considering all this information is important as it significantly eases the hunting process.
Furthermore, you have the option toPin the animal in the Hunter’s Guide, allowing for a special highlight when using your Na’vi senses.
Once you’ve learned about the animal’s biome,return to the map. Press the up button on the D-pad or C if you’re on PC toswitch the view to the biomes on the map. This step is essential fordetermining the specific area where you should head to hunt down the animal.
With information about your animal and a chosen weapon in hand, it’s time to begin the hunt.
Typically, you’dscan the biome to spot the animal. However,using your Na’vi senses allows you to identify a scent trail. This feature helps youtrack the specific location of the animal.
Inspecting a scent trailwith your Na’vi senses ensures you’re following the correct trail, guaranteeing you’re hunting the desired animal.
Once you’ve located your target,maintaining a distance or positioning yourself on a higher platform is your way to go. Getting too close may prompt the animal to flee. But even if it does,you can still track them down by following their scent trail.
After spotting your animal,use your Na’vi senses to inspect it and gather information about the materials it drops;determining whether they areSuperiororExquisite. Beneath each material, you’ll finda range of material bonusesas well.
While still using your Na’vi senses,pinpoint the animal’s weak spots, marked asyellow spots. Hitting these spots guarantees aMerciful kill, ensuring better hunting outcomes and higher-quality materials.
Another important aspect of hunting isachieving a Clean Kill, accomplished bylanding a single shot on the animal’s weak spot to kill it.
This ensures that youreceive the maximum bonusfrom the materials you collect.
