Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features a variety of weapons that players can use to turn the tide in the fight against the RDA. Ranging from Shotguns to Spears to Longbows, the game has it all, and they can be obtained through various means like doing quests, from vendors, from chests, etc.

Some of the weapons in the game standout from the others based on their stats. We’ve plucked the five best to ensure that you’re always equipped with the good stuff before going into combat to protect your Na’Vi home.

The top 5 weapons in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora ranked:

5. The Master Hunter Longbow

4. Hurit’s Merciless Bullpup Shotgun

3. So’lek’s Lightning Heavy Bow

2. Solali’s Spear Thrower

1. The Lightning Heavy Bow

While the world of Pandora is filled with gorgeous and lush landscapes like no other, threats like wildlife and human enemies from the RDA lurk there too. These weapons will ensure that no fight is too hard for you to conquer.

5. The Master Hunter Longbow

Weapon Type	Weapon Damage	Special Ammunition Type
Longbow	76	Shellbreaker Arrow

The Master Hunter Longbow is the best of its weapon type due to its quicker draw time. Its damage is lower than that of the Heavy Bow, but its mobility makes up for it, which means players can move frequently while using the weapon.

To get it, you must finish all three parts of the Clan Contributions Questline of the Aranahae Clan. While its damage may not be the best, it does inflict +20% damage when fully drawn as a bonus, which evens it out.

In addition to all the bonuses, the Longbow also uses Shellbreaker Arrows which break through armored enemies with ease. If you’re a player who likes moving around during combat, this weapon’s ideal for you.

4. Hurit’s Merciless Bullpup Shotgun

Weapon Type	Weapon Damage	Special Ammunition Type
Shotgun	250	Storm Ammo

Hurit’s Merciless Bullpup Shotgun is for players who don’t like the stealth approach. Dealing massive amounts of lethal damage at close range, this Shotgun is one of the best weapons in the game.

You can buy it from Hurit Ahenakew, located in the Resistance HQ, for 80 Spare Parts. It’s a late-game weapon, so you’ll need to first progress through the main story into the Clouded Forest to purchase it.

On killing an enemy, you’ll gain +20% additional damage for 10 seconds. In addition to that, if you’re below 40% health, you’ll deal even more damage with the Shotgun (+30% on top of the previous bonus), so it’s a beast when used correctly.

3. So’lek’s Lightning Heavy Bow

Weapon Type	Weapon Damage	Special Ammunition Type
Heavy Bow	57-166	Storm Arrow

So’leks Lightning Heavy Bow might not be the best when it comes to damage, but when paired with the Storm Arrows, it can be a damn good weapon that can also deal good amounts of damage.

Players who prefer a stealth approach will find this weapon ideal, as the Storm Arrows will prevent enemies from alerting others. Once you’ve unlocked Heavy Bows, you can get the design from So’lek himself and craft it using any Superior Quality Root and any reed.

2. Solali’s Spear Thrower

Weapon Type	Weapon Damage	Special Ammunition Type
Spear Thrower	124-265	Shellbreaker Spears

The Solali Spear Thrower is a fantastic weapon that can deal great damage at close range. In addition to its high damage, it also comes with Shellbreaker Spears which can penetrate enemy armor and take them down quickly.

The weapon’s recipe will be available after you reach the Zeswa Clan and unlock the weapon type. You can take the recipe from the Zeswa Gear Vendor and craft it with a Superior Bone and any reed.

As you progress throughout the game, you’ll come across various armored enemies and animals, which is why having this weapon will help you immensely. Just remember to charge it properly before throwing, as timing is crucial.

1. The Lightning Heavy Bow

Weapon Type	Weapon Damage	Special Ammunition Type
Heavy Bow	104-130	Storm Arrows

The Lightning Heavy Bow is the best weapon in the game due to its damage and status effects when paired with the Storm Arrows. It’s also the perfect replacement for So’lek’s Lightning Heavy Bow.

This formidable weapon can be obtained by defending Teylan from the RDA in the Tech Support Side Quest. The weapon deals +35% more damage to enemies affected by a status condition.

Since the Storm Arrows count as a status condition, you can dish out a lot of damage with ease. As long as you can find just enough Spare Parts to create Storm Arrows, you’ll be able to fight the RDA without breaking a sweat.
