Best cooking recipes in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Jesse Lennox
By

While it isn’t quite a survival game where you’re required to eat, foraging for ingredients to cook meals is highly encouraged in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Sure, you could just eat raw ingredients to make sure you never fully deplete your energy, but you’d be missing out on some very powerful buffs that a well-crafted meal can provide. You obviously will be unfamiliar with basically every ingredient you come across on Pandora, as it’s an alien planet after all, and even your character will have no idea what effect mixing up a couple of plants or bits of meat will yield until you try it out. If you didn’t come to this planet to play Gordon Ramsey, here’s a breakdown of the best recipes you can cook in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and how to make them.

Best recipes and how to cook them

Cooking is done at any cooking station that you can find at every Na’vi or resistance base. Once you interact with it, you can select two ingredients to mix together and see what meal you come up with. Meals can have one or two buffs depending on if they’re a standard or specialty recipe, but they always refill your energy.

Crunchy Seafood

Ingredients: Any fish + any seed.

Buff: Stealthy 1: Grants you a 35% buff to stealth.

This is a super-easy dish to make early on in the game, and it’s very powerful despite how common the ingredients are. Considering you will have the fewest skills and weapons early on, stealth will be essential for the early missions, so stock up on this meal to stay hidden.

Fruit and Meat Skewer

Ingredients: Any lean meat + any fruit

Buff: Fury 1: Grants you a 35% damage buff.

It’s very similar to the first recipe, but this one is a little harder to get since you need to hunt some animals, but you can’t deny that massive damage buff. If things go sideways, this snack can turn the tide in your favor.

Egg-Stuffed Mushroom

Ingredients: Any mushroom + any egg

Buff: Ambush 1: Plus 35% stealth damage.

If you’re more of a stealth hunter, making sure your first attack is also the last is a must. Eat this to ensure you get a quick and quiet kill.

Cheesy Sahena

Ingredients: Zakru Milk + Fiery Herbs

Buff: Fleet-Footed + Fighter’s Boon II: 10% bonus movement speed and 40% damage buff against RDA.

Moving into the specialty recipes that require specific and rarer ingredients, Cheesy Sahena turns you into an RDA outpost’s worst nightmare. If you’ve got the skills, you can run through wrecking everything in your path before they know what hit them.

Thanator Niktsyey

Ingredients: Moss Forest Thanator Meat + Kite Manta Egg

Buff: Furtive + Fury 3: Reduces sounds from moving and increases damage by 50%.

Honestly, this recipe makes the list for the Fury 3 buff alone. The stealth increase is nice, but if you’re dealing 50% more damage, you won’t really need to be quiet, will you?

Where to find The Den in Starfield
A spacecraft in Starfield.

For all you Starfield players who prefer to live a life of crime, then you'll no doubt know that collecting and selling contraband is one of the most lucrative ways to spend your time. However, you aren't able to just take these illegal items and sell them freely, especially if you don't have a ship that can hide your questionable cargo. If you want a safe place you can land and find a willing buyer for whatever haul you've got in your ship's hold, The Den is where you want to go. This is a hotspot for all sorts of illegal activity and nefarious players in the Starfield world but isn't exactly a place that advertises its location. If you want to pay a visit to The Den, here's where to find it.
How to get to The Den

To travel to The Den, open your star map and look for the Wolf system. This will be to the right of the Sol system and near the Narion and Alpha Centauri systems. Once you zoom in on the Wolf system, you won't find a planet named The Den because it isn't a planet at all - it is a space station. The Den is actually orbiting the planet Chthonia, so locate that and then look for an icon of an outpost near it called The Den. Select it and you can fast travel over.

Where to buy Digipicks in Starfield

Unless you decide to completely forgo the lockpicking skill in Starfield, then Digipicks, alongside Med Packs and ammo, will be among the most sought-after items on your shopping list for the entire game. These little devices allow you to pick locks and hack terminals, which makes them very handy. Partially because of how many things there are to lockpick, and also how easy it is to miss these little devices in the environment, you will be running out of them far too often. Thankfully you can go out and buy these items, but not from every vendor out there. Here are the best shops in the Settled Systems to stock up on Digipicks in Starfield.
Where to buy Digipicks

Digipicks aren't terribly expensive, but the trouble is finding someone who sells these little glass tube things. The most convenient vendor you can stock up on them from is on New Atlantis. From the spaceport, go into the square proper and take a left. Look for the large store with colored windows called Jemison Mercantile. Interact with the owner and select the Misc category to see his stock of Digipicks. Another spot is down in The Well at Apex Electronics, which is below MAST, as well as the Trade Authority right next door.

The best backgrounds and traits in Starfield
A spacecraft in Starfield.

Bethesda RPGs really encourage players to actually roleplay a character in every way. Starfield continues the tradition found in Elder Scrolls and Fallout by starting you off by having you create your own unique character, complete with a history and set of specific traits. The number of options this time around is massive, and they not only inform who your character is to help you embody their personality, but dictate what skills you start with, the ways you can interact with certain groups, and other passive buffs and debuffs. There are way too many possible combinations to consider, and personal taste will play the biggest part in which you decide to select, but here are a few backgrounds and traits that stand out as the best for a variety of players.
Best backgrounds
Your background plays the biggest role in who your character is. Yes, it does determine the first three skills you start with, but it impacts much more than that. Depending on your background, you might have different dialogue options with certain characters or have slightly different interactions in specific situations. You can't really predict these, but they do make the choice more important if you want to really play the part of whichever character you create.
Bounty Hunter

If you're looking to start out being a bit of a Jango Fett-type character, the Bounty Hunter is the perfect background. You won't get any actual combat perks at the start, except for immediately being able to use boost packs to easily flank enemies and maneuver around the environment. Your main bonuses will be in ship combat thanks to the Piloting and Targeting Control Systems skills. If your dream is to be a space pirate, raiding unsuspecting vessels for supplies, you should go Bounty Hunter.
