Reaching the battle location and receiving Staff Sling

2. Use the fact that your new weapon, Staff Sling, can be used to place Trip Grenades traps. Place them around the area, especially the areas with yellow smoke. Yellow smoke marks locations where Samson Helicopter Transports will land, delivering soldiers to the battlefield. Additionally, if possible, place traps in narrow pathways to increase the chance of them killing enemies.
3. Finally, before the battle starts, you can collect supplies scattered around the area, such as sticks to be made into arrows, special ammo, or more Trip Grenades for Staff Sling.

How to defeat incoming RDA soldiers?

1. Once the battle starts, attack exoskeleton enemies first. As a reminder, viable tactics for fighting machines involve aiming at their pilots and weak spots on their backsides, using Stun Grenades to paralyze them temporarily, and firing explosive arrows.
2. After dealing with machines, target RDA footsoldiers next. Try to avoid staying in the open, rely on compass indications (red dots in the upper part of the screen) and Na'vi Senses to locate enemies easily.

1. You need to deliver the items to Resistance Research Station. Unfortunately, your paths will cross with additional soldiers and machines. For easy defeating of exoskeletons, consider using the newly acquired Assault Rifle which is effective against them. You can also use grenades, Staff Sling, or explosive arrows.

1. You need to reach the objective to open the room with Alma - screenshot above) before the time limit runs out. Once the objective is completed, the time limit is lifted, and this is also the end of fighting around the Resistance Research Station.
