    Every outfit, body paint, cosmetic override, and visual unlock remains available at Changing Places.

  • Crafting Recipes & Combat Power
    All known crafting recipes for weapons, armor, food, and upgrades carry over, along with your full combat strength.

  • Clan Favor & Hunter’s Guide Progress
    Your reputation with clans and the complete Hunter’s Guide knowledge persists — a massive advantage for efficient farming and crafting.

    Your bonded Ikran and all unlocked paints and cosmetics return as soon as the story allows you to summon it.

❌ What Resets:

    All narrative progress resets, including side missions and clan contributions.

Mastering New Game+: Pro Strategies for Veteran Players

With end-game power from the start, New Game+ opens the door to creative and aggressive playstyles.

1️⃣ Customize Your Challenge

New Game+ lets you tailor difficulty for the experience you want.

  • Combat Challenge Settings
    Choose between Low, Medium, or High presets, or create a custom difficulty.
    Pro tip: Increase enemy toughness while keeping damage reasonable to avoid turning the game into a cakewalk.

  • Quest Guidance Options
    Switch from Guided mode to Exploration mode to remove markers and rely on environmental clues. New Game+ is the perfect time to embrace a more immersive, discovery-driven experience.

2️⃣ Abuse Your Early-Game Power Advantage

  • Overwhelm Early Missions
    Use end-game weapons and armor to tear through early RDA encounters effortlessly.

  • Exploit Hunter’s Guide Knowledge
    Farm high-quality crafting materials immediately using your existing resource knowledge.

  • Re-Farm Permanent Upgrades
    Cleared RDA facilities that are reclaimed by nature often respawn collectibles like Bellsprigs, allowing you to stack additional permanent health increases.

3️⃣ Experiment With New Builds & Playstyles

New Game+ is your sandbox — every skill is unlocked, so experimentation is encouraged.

  • Try Extreme Specialization
    Build fully into stealth, long-range bow damage, or close-quarters combat using food buffs and gear mods.

  • Replay in Third-Person Mode
    Update 2.5’s new third-person camera offers a cinematic way to replay the entire story, letting you fully appreciate your Na’vi’s animations, armor, and combat flow.

Final Thoughts: The Ultimate Way to Experience Pandora

New Game+ in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora turns a second playthrough into a rewarding power fantasy, not a grind. It gives you full freedom to explore Pandora on your terms — stronger, smarter, and more expressive than ever before.

Whether you’re replaying the story in third-person, experimenting with new builds, or simply enjoying the satisfaction of overwhelming the RDA from the opening hours, New Game+ is the definitive way to return to the Western Frontier.

Sivako! Rise again — and show Pandora what a true Sarentu warrior looks like.
