Spare Parts Locations: Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora

Discover the best ways to find Spare Parts in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, including RDA bases, Resistance Field Labs, and looting AMP Mechs.

Hey there! So you're looking to get your hands on some Spare Parts in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, huh? Smart move, these little guys are super useful. Let me break down the best ways to snag them.

The most straightforward way to get Spare Parts is by finding those yellow crates scattered around. You'll see small ones and big ones. Open a small crate, and you're pretty much guaranteed at least one or two Spare Parts. Crack open a large crate, and you're looking at about five. Easy peasy!

Resistance Field Labs and RDA Bases

So, where do you find these precious yellow crates? Your best bet is to keep an eye out for the various RDA facilities dotted across the Western Frontier. While the small crates are pretty common, you'll often need to clear out the facility itself to get to the good stuff. More often than not, there's a large yellow crate waiting for you inside, packed with Spare Parts. If you're not sure where to find an RDA base, look for the tell-tale smoke plumes rising into the sky, or just open your map – areas with an orange hue usually mean an RDA facility is nearby.

Another solid spot is at Resistance Field Labs that have lost power. There's one west of Step's Cradle in the Upper Plains region. Your first job here will be to get the power back on so you can access everything inside, like the Crafting Table and Cooking Station. It's a simple process: just repair the control panel, then use your SID (Systems Interrogation Device) to link up any parts that need juice. Once the power's flowing again, you'll be able to use the Ammo Resupply locker, craft new weapons, or whip up a meal. But the real prize is usually a large yellow crate waiting for you, giving you another five Spare Parts.

Looting AMP Mechs with the Scavenging Expert Skill

Now, if you're willing to invest a bit in your skills, there's another cool way to get Spare Parts. Head over to the Memories of the Maker Skill Tree and look for the Scavenging Expert skill on the far left. You'll need at least six Skill Points to get there, so make sure you're grabbing those Ancestor Skills (they give you two Skill Points each) and Tarsyu Saplings (one Skill Point each) to build up your pool. Once you've got this skill unlocked, you can snag a single Spare Part from defeated RDA AMPs (those big mechs). It's not a guaranteed drop every time, but if you're going in hot to an RDA base, it really adds up, especially after you've already looted all the yellow crates. Trust me, later in the game, this becomes one of the best methods, especially after you've found all the Resistance Field Labs.

Spare Parts Uses

You might be thinking, 'Why all the fuss about Spare Parts?' Well, they're used for two main things in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. First off, you'll find out early on, once you get to the Resistance HQ in Kinglor Forest. There are merchants there who take Spare Parts as currency. You can trade them for some sweet RDA weapons like Assault Rifles and Shotguns, attachments, or even armor pieces. The Exquisite Assault Rifle and Shotguns are particularly great because they're hard to beat and, despite the cost, will give your Combat Strength a massive boost early on.

The second, and arguably more important, use for Spare Parts is crafting special ammo for your weapons. We're talking about things like Explosive or Poison Arrows. This secondary ammo is incredibly potent, and you'll want a good stock of Spare Parts so you can craft more on the fly during intense firefights, especially when you're deep in an RDA facility. It can seriously make the difference between life and death.

So, keep an eye out for those crates and facilities, and don't forget to invest in that Scavenging Expert skill if you want to keep your inventory stocked!
