An imbalanced level can break a game’s experience. Luckily for players, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features several difficulty settings to choose from to tailor each user’s gameplay experience. Here’s everything you need to know about all the difficulty options in the latest Ubisoft game.

After a lot of anticipation, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has finally arrived, and this title is particularly exciting for big fans of James Cameron’s iconic movie franchise as it allows players to experience the stunning world of Pandora in first person, and go on their own adventure as a Na’vi.

There’s a big emphasis on exploration in the new Ubisoft title but there’s still plenty of combat as well, and you may want to adjust the game’s difficulty depending on whether you want a relaxing or challenging experience in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

With that in mind, here’s a full rundown of all the difficulty settings in the game, and how you can change the difficulty if needed.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora difficulty settings

There are a total of 3 combat-level difficulty settings in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora that players can choose from. The difficulty will directly impact the amount of damage you deal and the amount of damage you take in combat, so fights will be easier on the lower options, and a tougher challenge on the higher setting.

As well as combat challenge levels, you also have 2 guidance options to choose from – either guided or exploration, and this will affect how much guidance the UI provides for you in terms of finding quest locations.

You can find a full rundown of the combat options in the game below:

Low Combat

If you’re new to first-person action games, or you simply want to have a more relaxing experience exploring Pandora without having to worry about combat encounters, Low combat could be the best option for you. You’ll take less damage in battle and deal more to enemies which should make the majority of combat situations fairly easy to get through.

Medium Combat

For a balanced experience, Medium combat is the best difficulty to go for. Battles will be engaging but not too tough in this mode so it’s ideal for anyone experienced with FPS titles who perhaps doesn’t want a playthrough that’s too difficult.

High Combat

This option is for those who want a tough challenge in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. You’ll take more damage in battle, and RDA troops will actively search for you so there won’t be much time to relax once you enter a hostile area. As combat will be tough, you’ll need to take care to conserve your healing items and ammo and make sure you’re foraging for new resources as often as possible.
