Gameplay
The single-player campaign has a first-person perspective to control a Na'vi orphan. Pandora is a large open world divided into three distinct regions, each with unique biomes, quests, and inhabitants. The character had been raised and trained as a soldier by the Resources Development Administration (RDA), was put into suspended animation, and awakened sixteen years later in an abandoned facility. The player journeys across the Western Frontier, a previously unseen region of Pandora, discovering the character's origins, and organizing the local Na'vi tribes to fight back against the RDA as they attempt to exploit the natural resources of the Western Frontier. The standalone story is partially tied to the films. The game also supports two-player cooperative multiplayer.
The player can use "Na'vi sense" to highlight interactable objects, and vulnerable points of enemies. The player is equipped with both RDA weapons like assault rifles and shotguns, and Na'vi weapons such as bows and arrows and spear throwers to combat enemies. Progression and quest completion will unlock better gear, improving combat performance. Ammo, throwables, and other consumables can be crafted using materials collected in the wilds. Animals can be hunted, though using firearms on them will prevent the collection of crafting resources. Players can gain "Clan Favor" by defeating RDA troops, helping fellow Na'vi, and progressing. This can be used to purchase rare weapons, armor, and crafting materials. The player character is very agile, with advanced acrobatic feats such as double jumping. The character can ride on a flying ikran creature to quickly navigate the world.
