With so many different weapon options in Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora, in this guide, I will go over the best weapons in the game.
Let’s go over the best weapon for each type in the game.
- Best Heavy Bow: So’lek’s Survivor Heavy Bow
- Best Longbow: So’lek’s Furtive Longbow
- Best Shortbow: Heykinak’s Relentless Shortbow
- Best Assault Rifle: M69-AR Amok Assault Rifle
- Best Shotgun: Jackhammer Shotgun
Now that you have the quick overview let’s dive a little more into why these weapons are the best, and how to get them.
Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora: So’lek’s Survivor Heavy Bow
So’lek’s Survivor Heavy Bow is a craftable weapon from So’lek in the Clouded Forest Resistance HQ. Speak with him outside the main hideout and access the Designs tab to purchase the blueprint.
It can deal between 84 to 222 damage and has the special ammunition type of Grenade Arrows. It has three different abilities, and a passive that players will have while using it:
- Passive: 10% Damage
- Revitalizing: Restore 10% of health after killing an enemy.
- Quick Draw: Heavy bow draw time reduced by 20%.
- Energizing: Restore 15.00% of energy after killing an enemy
To craft it players will need to have these materials on hand.
- Any Root (Exquisite Quality)
- Any Reed (Superior Quality)
- Any Horn
It’s best to steer clear of the blast radius of Solek’s Survivor Heavy Bow and be sure to keep it in mind as you go into more battles. Use that information to prepare yourself before going against big enemy groups.
Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora: So’lek’s Furtive Longbow
So’lek’s Furtive Longbow is a craftable weapon from So’lek in the Clouded Forest Resistance HQ. Speak with him outside the main hideout and access the Designs tab to purchase the blueprint.
It can deal between 60 to 159 damage and has the special ammunition type of Grenade Arrows. It has three different abilities, and a passive that players will have while using it:
- Passive: 10% Stealth Damage
- Energizing: Restore 15.00% of energy after killing an enemy
- Payback: Deal +30.00% damage for 20% seconds after breaking line-of-sight from hostile enemies for 5s.
- Powerful Draw: +20% damage when your longbow is fully drawn.
To craft it players will need to have these materials on hand.
- Any Branch (Exquisite Quality)
- Any Bast (Superior Quality)
- Any Horn
Payback can be a great skill to make use of while dealing with RDA bases since they have a lot of places to hide and get the full effect of losing line-of-sight. You may need to avoid open areas, because there may not be too many places to hide.
Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora: Heykinak’s Relentless Shortbow
Heykinak’s Relentless Shortbow is a craftable weapon you can get from Heykinak at The Hollow in Clouded Forest.
It can deal between 74 to 119 damage and has the special ammunition type of Flame Arrows. It has an ability, and a passive that players will have while using it:
- Passive: 10% Stealth Damage
- Fusillade: +15.00% damage on additional hits against the same target. Stacking up to 4 times.
To craft it players will need to have these materials on hand.
- Any Resin (Exquisite Quality)
- Meer Deer Horn (Superior Quality)
- Clouded Lily Bast
Though it has a shorter range, as it should being a short bow, you can deal big damage quickly.
Not only that, but Fusillade makes that even better on the same target. With fire damage as alternate arrows, this bow can make you feel powerful at any range.

Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora: M69-AR Amok Assault Rifle
The M69-AR Amok is an assault rifle players will be able to find while exploring the world. This specific assault rifle can be found in a locked container in a level 19 RDA outpost.
The RDA outpost is located in the far north of the Clouded Forest, to the right of the Weary Swamp, and North of the Fertile River close to the mountain range.
The locked container is in the reward room of Horizontal Miner Bravo.
The M69-AR Amok is the best assault rifle in the game, because not only does it have stagger ammo as an alternative, but it also has two great abilities:
- Lethal Momentum: +20% damage for 10s after killing an enemy.
- Sliding Strike: +15.00% damage on the next attack after sliding.
Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora: Jackhammer Shotgun
The Jackhammer Shotgun is the best close-range weapon you can have in the game.
Despite the fact, that you can get it pretty early in the game from Hurit Ahenakew in the Resistance HQ, it does not mean that it won’t serve you well.
The Jackhammer Shotgun has the Storm alternate ammo, a strong passive, and an ability that despite how it looks, synergizes very well.
- Passive: 15% RDA Damage
- Efficient Tactics: Deal +20% damage on the next attack after hitting a weakspot.
Many RDA enemies have large, easy-to-hit weak spots, making the weapon’s ability easy to activate consistently. It will become your go-to weapon when raiding RDA outposts, and a great contender for the fourth weapon slot of the Well Prepared skill.
Final Thoughts
