Combat & the RDA
Hunting the thanator and dismantling the RDA — installations, outposts and the big 100% air-quality cleanup that reclaims Pandora.
No Easy Prey

No Easy Prey
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Defeat a thanator — the large, non-feral apex predator that stalks the Western Frontier. It's fast and hits hard, so treat it like a mini-boss: whittle it with a heavy bow or the RDA rifle, aim for the glowing weak points and dodge its lunges.
Tip
Weaken it first with poison or heavy ammo from range, and fight near cover so you can break line of sight when it charges. If you're struggling, come back after unlocking Apex/Ancestor combat skills — it becomes far more manageable.

Little by Little
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Defeat 10 RDA installations — the smaller mapped enemy sites. Fight or sneak in and take down the garrison or objective at each.
Tip
Every installation you clear also raises the local air quality, feeding Reclaim Pandora. Knock these out region by region and you'll be most of the way to 100% air quality without a separate grind.
Hit Them Where It Hurts

Hit Them Where It Hurts
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Defeat five RDA Outposts — the larger, fortified bases. Break in past the defences and hack or destroy the central pollution device to bring each one down.
Tip
Outposts are tougher than installations, so approach with stealth: tag enemies with Na'vi senses, thin them quietly, then hit the objective. They also count big toward air quality, so they're never wasted effort.
Reclaim Pandora

Reclaim Pandora
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Reach 100% air quality by destroying every RDA pollution source across all regions — that means clearing all installations and outposts everywhere, not just in one area.
Tip
Track each region's air-quality meter and let the map flag the remaining RDA sites. Work through them region by region until every meter reads 100%; the installation and outpost trophies fall out of this naturally.
