How to cook in Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora

In Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, cooking is introduced fairly quickly. You can cook dishes in Na'vi camps and recipes are unlocked by experimenting with different ingredient combinations.

Consuming cooked food will not only replenish energy (which will slowly regenerate your health over time) but will also provide a specific buff depending on the ingredients used. Whichever ingredient you use first will be the dominant one and will decide which buff is used, regardless of quality.

Below we've listed each ingredient in Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora and its associated buff. You can increase the duration of these buffs by using better-quality ingredients. Remember to check the Hunter's Guide to see where you can find superior or exquisite versions of these ingredients.

You can only have seven cooked foods in your pouch at once in Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, so make sure you prioritise your dishes ahead of combat. For example, if you're going hunting you should prepare food with a damage boost to wildlife. Likewise, if you're taking on an RDA facility we recommend prioritising food with a damage boost to RDA or a healthy health regeneration buff.
