Each server has its own persistent Hagga Basin (99% PVE Zone) with 60 Players slots. The Player can create 1 character per World, and that character can move between Servers in that world. Maintaining all the Gear, Level, Skills and Inventory. The Player can establish bases in only ONE Server, which will be considered the Home Server. Now the Player can have multiple bases in different servers! { The Deep Desert and Factions Social HUBs }Those are the locations where a high number of players from all the Servers may meet. The Deep Desert Map (50% PVP Zone) will reset every week on Tuesdays, changing the map entirely and destroying all the buildings. { Regions, Worlds and Servers }[ Region ] Asia [ Worlds ] = 5 [ Servers ] = 20 per World [ Region ] Europe [ Worlds ] = 35 [ Servers ] = 20 per World [Region] North America [ Worlds ] = 40 [ Servers ] = 20 per World [Region] Oceania [ Worlds ] = 5 [ Servers ] = 20 per World [Region] South America [ Worlds ] = 2 [ Servers ] = 20 per World Players from Official Servers CANT meet Players from Private Servers { Official Servers } [ Interconnected Servers ] - Official Servers in the same World are interconnected, which means you can freely move to another Sietch and meet people from all the other Sietches in the Social Hubs and The Deep Desert. [ Can Build in Multiple Sietches ] - The Player can have multiple bases in different Sietches. (Need to check if the number of Sub-Fiefs is still limited) [ Higher Population ] - Official Servers tend to have more players than Private Servers, that can be a problem when fighting for resources or to build your base in a specific place. The game will feel more alive and populated, offering multiple opportunities to meet new people. [ Higher Player Slots ] - Currently all the Sietches have a max capacity of 40 Players, the Devs confirmed they might increase it in the future. [ Default Settings ] - All servers have PvP Enabled in some areas, Taxation and Sandstorms are Enabled. Currently there’s no plans to add Official Servers with different settings. { Private Servers } [ Interconnected Private Servers ] - Private Servers in the same World are interconnected, which means you can freely move to another Sietch and meet people from all the other Sietches in the Social Hubs and The Deep Desert. [ Can Build in Multiple Sietches ] - The Player can have multiple bases in different Sietches. (Need to check if the number of Sub-Fiefs is still limited) [ Lower Population ] - Private Servers tend to have less players than Official Servers, which can be great when fighting for resources or to build your base in a specific place. [ Possible Lower Player Slots ] - Private Servers player slot is defined by whoever bought the hosting, it may vary from 6 to 40 Players. [ Custom Settings ] - The Host can choose to enable PvP everywhere, disable Taxation and Sandstorms. --- Gameplay --- There’s no need to rush the content. PVP isn’t essential to access all the End-game content. On day one after the Coriolis Storm, big guilds will rush to control the resource nodes of Titanium and Stravidium in the PVP Sectors. This will also happen in the PVE sectors where any individual player can build a base around Resource nodes. (FIX THIS FUNCOM, I cant destroy bases in PVE zones...) Ringmouth Spice Fields may be a dangerous place when big guilds are active harvesting it with their Carryall + Sandcrawler and multiple Assault Ornithopters defending the operation. Landsraad dominance can be achieved by doing either PVE or PVP tasks. --- Classes --- { Choosing your Class }The best classes to pick in the Character Creation are: [ Mentat ] = High Ranged Damage, clear POIs solo easily. [ Bene Gesserit ] = High Mobility and Survivability Passives (The mobility aspect of this class for exploration will get obsolete really fast after the early-game.) Don’t choose [ Trooper ] or [ Planetologist ] when creating your Character, those 2 classes can quickly be unlocked in the first area of the game (Hagga Basin South). [ Swordmaster ] is better late/endgame when the enemies are tougher and use shields, it will also require more player skill to deal with multiple melee enemies at the same time. You can unlock and mix all the Classes skills by completing the Trainers Questlines. { Skills }[ Max Level ] = 200? [ Total Skill Points ] = 200? [ Skills Shapes Meaning ] Rhombus = Equippable Abilities (Max of 3 Active) Octagons = Equippable Techniques (Max of 3 Active) Circle = Passive Effects (All Active) { Class Builders }https://dune.gaming.tools/skill-builder https://www.openworld.gg/dune-awakening/skill-builder --- Survival --- { Hotbar Setup }Short / Long Blade Sidearm / Disruptor / Drillshot / Flamethrower Rifle / Spitdart / Vulcan Cutter / Dew Harvester / Compactor Healkit Blood Harvester / Binoculars / Compactor Vehicle Backup Tool Welding Torch / Resource Scanner / Construction Tool / Probe Launcher { Player Status }[ Unsheltered ] = You are totally exposed to the elements. [ Sheltered ] = You are protected from Sandstorms. [ Enclosed ] = You and your vehicles are protected from Sandstorms. [ Watersealed ] = You and your vehicles are protected from Sandstorms, you can learn Schematics, your water consumption is highly decreased. { Hydration }Summary High Hydration = Bonus Stamina Bar. Blood Extractor = Extract Blood from a dead enemy body and stores it in a Blood Bag. Blood Purifier = Purifies the Blood deposited inside of it from a Blood Bag. Literjon = Stores Water. Stillsuit = Drinkable Water over time. Dew Harvester = Harvest water from plants at night. (Infinite water anywhere… with plants) Windtraps = Passively generates water from the air, need a consumable Filter to work. Fremen Deathstills = Deposit bodies to extract dozens of liters overtime.How to Gather it? [ Water Plants ] Drink Water directly from some plants. [ Blood Harvesting ] Use a Blood Extractor on dead enemies bodies and store it in a Blood Bag. [ Dew Harvesting ] Use a Scythe tool to gather water from Plants at night and store it in a Literjon. This is the best method of gathering water anywhere, grab a Dew Harvester and ~3 Literjon and you will be fine for a long time. [ Windtraps ] Passively harvests Water from air humidity. Need a Filter to work. [ Fremen Deathstills] By completing the 8th Trial of Aql you unlock the Deathstills, which harvest all the water from a corpse.How to Produce it? [ Blood Purifier ] Stores blood from Blood Bags and turn it into Water over time. [ Stillsuits ] Recycle water over time from your body moisture and make it drinkable.How to Store it? [ Literjons ] Manually stores water from Blood Purifiers or automatically stores water gathered with a Dew Harvester. [ Water Cisterns ] Automatically stores purified water from Blood Purifiers. You can also use the method with the Dew Harvester to fill out your cisterns, just grab ~10 Literjon and go out hunting for plants at night. { Heatstroke }Summary Shade = No Heatstroke / No Dehydration Heat Protection Gear = Slower Heatstroke Effects Heat Level = Biomes have different Heat Levels.What causes it? [ Sun Exposure ] Long time exposure to the sun without a Heat Protection gear set. [ Biome Heat Level ] Different biomes have different Heat Levels.What it does? [ Dehydration ] Fast dehydration when the bar turns red.How to get protection from it? [ Shadows ] Stay in the shadows. [ Heat Protection Gear ] Stillsuits give you some Heat Protection slowing down the Heatstroke bar. { Sandstorm }Summary Sunlight = Sandstorms may happen. Damages = Unsheltered Player and Sheltered Vehicles (Sheltered Players and Enclosed Vehicles are good)What causes it? From time to time during daytime a Sandstorm will sweep the map.What it does? Sandstorms will damage the players, exposed vehicles and buildings with inactive shields.How to get protection from it? Find a [ Sheltered ] area or better. Vehicles need to be in an [ Enclosed ] area or better to prevent getting damaged. { Sardaukar Search Ship }Summary Searchlights = Stay out of it. Caught = Run/Drive fast after Stun Effect.What are they? They are the Sardaukars looking for people to punish.When do they show up? [ Night ] They tend to patrol the Tier 2+ Sectors during the night with powerful searchlights. The searchlight color changes based on their awareness of their target: White Light = They are Searching Red Light = They are pursuing someone Yellow Light = They recently lost track of their target What if they spot me? [ Stun ] A bubble will stun you in place for a few seconds and the ship will launch some Jetpack Troopers after you.How do I evade them? [ Run ] Look where the ship is and run far from it. { The Sandworm }Summary Open Sands = Worms Habitat. Find the closest gaps between Rocky Areas to cross. Vibration = Aggros the Worm. Softstep Boots = Decreases Worm Threat by almost half (-45%), which means you can collect Flour Sand or Spice for a longer time. Powered/Suspensor Gadgets = Extremely increases the Worm Threat. Drumsand = Extremely increases the Worm Threat when over it. Quicksand = Slows you down and stuck your vehicle, don’t get near it!Where does it live? What does it eat? It lives in the Open Sands areas. It eats everything including vehicles and buildings.What increases it Attraction Chance? [ Vibration ] Running or using Vehicles in the Open Sands. [ Powered Gadgets ] Don’t use Powered/Suspensor Gadgets in the Open Sands, it extremely increases the Worm attraction to you. [ Drumsand ] Increases the Worm Attraction. Increasing the speed the Worm spawns. [ Quicksand ] Slows you or a vehicle down while also damaging the vehicle parts over time.How do I know if I'm in Danger? When you enter the Open Sands a Vibration Graph will show up at the bottom of the screen. [ White Graph ] = You are Safe. [ Orange Graph ] = You are Detectable. [ Red Graph ] = Worm spawned and will chase you. How to prevent it? [ Taking Cover ] The Rocky Areas are your friend, don’t run too far from it and the Worm won’t even spawn. [ Ground Vehicle ] If you are driving a vehicle you are fast enough and will be safe if you stick to the Rocky Areas and choose the closest gaps to cross the Open Sands. [ Threat Reduction Gear ] Some Schematics can give you Threat Reduction, like the Softstep Boots which reduce the Worm Threat by -145%.How to survive it? [ Running ] Run to the closest mountain with everything you got (Stamina, Skills, Powered Gadgets) and hope for the best, and don't look back. :) [ Vehicle Boost Module ] Equip your vehicle with a Boost Module, use it to increase your speed even more, but don’t overheat the engine!Can it be killed? Currently no? --- Combat --- { Holtzman Shield }How to Acquire it? Find or Craft and equip a Holtzman Shield and a decent Powerbank.How to Drain it? [ Overwhelm ] High RPM Weapons or Melee Fast Attacks block the Shield from recharging. [ Stunlocking ] Multiple fast light attacks with a blade make the enemy incapable of reacting while being hit, draining their Shield Power with each hit.How to Bypass it? [ Short/Long Blade ] Heavy attacks with blades bypass the shield, damaging the user. [ Disruptor Guns ] High RPM disruptor guns make some Darts to pass through the shield and damage the enemy. [ Drillshotgun ] A shotgun capable of firing a burrow-dart that penetrates the shield and damages directly the enemy. [ Skills/Effects ] Damage over Time effects (DoTs) like Poison and Bleed damages directly the user. { Player Death / Loot } When a Player gets killed by the Sandworm, everything is lost. When a Player dies in PVP/PVE only the Resources/Schematics/Solaris are dropped, the Gear Durability will get slightly damaged, 10%?. (Even in the Deep Desert) A Landsraad Decree may enable Full PvP Loot during the week in the Deep Desert, making it possible to loot everything someone is carrying. { PvP Areas }Currently ALL servers have PVP enabled in some specific Sectors or Zones [ Hagga Basin ] Only ~10% of the area has PVP Enabled, specific POIs like [Green POIs] Shipwrecks and T5 [Outposts].[ Deep Desert ] ~50% of the area has PVP Enabled. Ringmouth Spice Fields will always be inside the PVP zone, all the Control Points and Shipwrecks no matter where they are will be a PVP zone. { Respawn Points }[ Previous Visited POI ] The last POI you visited will show up as a respawn point.[ Respawn Beacon ] You can place multiple Respawn Beacons, but only the last one placed will be active.[ Subfiefs (Bases) ] You can interact with your Subfief and enable the respawn on it.[ Vehicles ] Your last used vehicle can also be used as a respawn point, but beware where you park it. --- Storage ---{ Circuit Setup } While building your base with a Construction Tool all resources will be pulled from your Inventory or a Circuit 1 Storage. [ Inventory Selection ] You can switch from your Backpack inventory to a Vehicle inventory in the same interface, click the “Backpack” button and choose which vehicle inventory to display. This way you can easily move resources around your base without moving your character. [ Input/Output ] Storages and Machinery have a specific Circuit Number assigned as their Input and Output. For example you can choose where the production of an Ore Refinery should be stored after the ores get refined, or from which storage the Ore refinery should get the ores from. To force a Machine to output to the desired location simply manually place a single item in each slot of the machine. (Use 1x Salvaged Metal in each slot for example) --- The Deep Desert --- { The Layout }The Deep Desert is a 3x3 Grid with each grid containing 9 Sectors, a total of 81 Sectors. Each Grid has a Player Capacity of 100 players. The whole Deep Desert has a Maximum Player Capacity of 300 players. You can move freely between the Grids as long as that grid doesn't have 100 players already in it. Each Sector requires a Survey Probe to be fully explored. The Sectors in row "A" is PVE, some other Sectors may be flagged as PVE depending on the week. (Lately PVE sectors is extended from row "A" to half of row "E") The rules from Hagga Basin still apply for Shipwrecks, which is PVP. Also all the Control Points is PVP. This is a great area to build your Temporary Outpost or Refinery, where you can drop or refine anything before transporting back to Hagga Basin. Sectors "A" PVE Imperial Testing Stations is a great source for T5 Unique Schematics and equipment, the weapons and gear might be damaged but its still useful. Testing Stations and Shipwrecks from row "B" to row "I" are extremely difficult to solo, those POIs where meant to be cleared in a group of 4 players, but its still possible to solo it with T5 Gear, Weapons, a good Build, player skill and tactics. Loot takes only 20min to respawn compared to Hagga Basin which is 40min, in PvP areas only the first one to loot will get the items. There’s multiple NPC Houses Control Points, which can be captured by the players from a Playable House. As long as it stays under your control your Guild/House will get points over time. (10 Points per minute) Those Control Points will be highly contested by Player Guilds, where they will usually build a base on top of it to hold it for as long as possible. (Never seen anybody do that, but the Devs said it would happen) [ The Coriolis Storm ] They strike each Tuesday morning during the server daily restart. This is when the wipe happens. You’ll see them rise on the horizon the hours before and the Communinet will warn you. This is the visual warning. The entire Deep Desert is wiped: bases and environment alike. A new layout for the Deep Desert is revealed with new POIs and locations. A new Landsraad cycle begins. Bases in Hagga Basin remain unaffected by the Coriolis Storm. You will need to survey the area for resources again because some of the nodes in the Hagga Basin may have changed. ### BEGINNER SECTION ### --- Locations : Trials --- { 1st Trial }[ Hagga Basin South ] - Mihna Cavern { 2nd Trial }[ Eastern Vermillius Gap ] - The Deep Struggle Cave { 3rd Trial }[ Western Vermillius Gap ] - Cave of the Lost Pilgrim { 4th Trial }[ Eastern Vermillius Gap ] - Mirzabah's Head Cave { 5th Trial }[ Hagga Rift ] - The Hidden Test Cave { 6th Trial }[ Jabal Eifrit Al-Sharq ] - Devil's Eye Cavern { 7th Trial }[ Hagga Rift ] - The Red Maw Cave { The Footsteps of the Fremen }[ Mysa Tarill ] - Sietch Ta'lab Cave DOOR ANSWERS: Nilotic Al-Ourouba Poritrin Salusa Secundus Bela Tegeuse Rossak Thurgrod Harmonthep BOULDERS Right > Left = Objective Right > Right = Lore + Container Right > Front = Lore Left > Left = Water + Trap + Container Front > Left = Trap + Container Front > Front = Container RUNES Look at the 4 murals in the walls for the words.

Build a Processing Facility/Storage in the Deep Desert soon after the weekly reset. Best place for a base is around Column 4, 5 or 6 at the edge of the PVE zone, a central area. Move everything from the Deep Desert back to Hagga Basin on Sunday before the weekly reset on Monday/Tuesday. (Check your region for the accurate reset time){ What to Bring to the Deep Desert every Week }If you don't want to look at the charts, bring the following every week to build a Base in the Deep Desert: Fuel Cells and Low-Grade Lubricant (To Power the Base) 100x Corpses or more (For Water) [4 Stacks] 2000x Silicone Block [4 Stacks] 2000x Cobalt Paste [3 Stacks] 1500x Duraluminum Ingot [2 Stacks] 1000x Plastanium Ingot [1 Stack] 500x Salvaged Metal [1 Stack] 500x Steel Ingot 750x Spice Melange (If its your first base 18x is enough for the Medium Chemical Refinery) 525x Complex Machinery 250x Calibrated Servok 100x Copper Ingot (For Recycler and Probes) 100x Aluminum Ingot (For Storage Containers) 39x Industrial Pump (For Large Water Cisterns) 20x Iron Ingot (For Repair Station) 15x Thermoelectric Cooler (For the Advanced Survival Fabricator, which can be used to craft Advanced Machinery or other Advanced Materials needed) 48x Advanced Machinery (For the Large Ore Refinery and Large Spice Refinery) Silicone Block is also used in the production of Fuel for the Base and Vehicles. Cobalt Paste/Duraluminum Ingot are also used in repairs of items made with it. Salvaged Metal is also used for Welding Wires to repair vehicles and ammunition for weapons. Steel Ingot is used mainly for the Wind Turbines and Pentashield. Copper Ingot is also used to craft Probes and repair the Launcher. Aluminum Ingot is only needed if you are still using Storage Containers. { Base Progression Stage 1 to Stage 5 }https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1icNjscBY1iFSBs5DgzCOgB-RhbkpazwY9Km5uvtF4AY/edit?usp=sharing === Unique Schematics === --- Hagga Basin South --- { Armors | Stillsuits } [Stillsuit] Hollower Stillsuit Set (Mask, Garment, Gloves, Boots) = [Outpost] The Dewgap.

(Smugglers?) The Playable Faction who win the vote of 5 NPC Houses in a row Vertically or Horizontally will win. The Playable Faction who have the support of the majority of the NPC Houses will win. The NPC Houses have multiple tasks that can be completed to gain their support. (PvE and PvP tasks) After a Playable Faction is declared the victor, the Guild Leaders of guilds whose members contributed will have to choose between 3 Decrees to place their votes on.

Sheesh, this game does NOT tell you stuff. And after dumping over 200h on my alt, I noticed that man... Did I make some stupid decisions and failed to enjoy the game to its fullest. So I decided to give it another go here for a flawless, no nonsense playtrough. These are my *45 things I wish I've known* for Dune: Awakening. Important Stuff If you're too lazy to read the rest, take note of AT LEAST the following: Get the hookshot ASAP As soon as possible you wanna get the grappling hook, as it'll allow you to go up in buildings and mountains and whatnot. It is an absolute game changer. You can get it as part of the Trooper Class' starter inventory. Start with a class that’s annoying to unlock later But, here's the kicker: DO NOT pick Trooper as your starting class. I'll talk about classes in a bit, but long story short you can unlock it and change to it pretty, PRETTY early on at the game (with Ghavouri, at the Griffin's Reach Tradepost in Hagga Basin South). Instead, start with a Mentat or Bene Gesserit, as their trainers are found way, way further on, behind some nasty difficulty spikes. You can test both Houses before choosing At some point you'll have to pick a faction in the game. But both Atreides and Harkonnen let you run their early quest chains (up to mission 2) without locking you in. You’re free to dip your toes before picking a side. Don't overdesign your first base More on Bases and Building in a bit, but for now... Just make it a 4x4 cube and go on with the game. You'll thank me later. And last, but not least... Do the damn quests Especially early on. Doesn’t matter if it’s a fetch job, lore dump, or some dude asking you to recalibrate probes for the ffifth time. I know, we all wanna go out exploring and doing side hustles... But hear me out... These early campaign quests give you gear, spice, and a better grasp of what the game actually wants from you -which, frankly, isn’t always obvious. Treat them like training wheels. They fall off FAST. General Tips Now, onto the bulk of the guide. 2 easy ways down Don’t waste time looking for a safe slope every time you want to go down. - If you're mounted, feel free to yeet yourself off cliffs with your bike, it absorbs all fall damage. - If you're on foot, can jump and grab the slope wall to cancel fall damage, no matter the height. Become the Tarzan of the canyons Speaking of grabbing slopes, consider unlocking and equipping both the Bene Gesserit airdash ability to reattach to walls while midair, and the Trooper's hookshot to reach them from a distance. Probes get wiped by sandstorms No one tells you this, but sandstorms can and will erase your probe coverage. Expect to re-scan. It’s part of the loop. Don’t cry when your 98% zone drops to 60% overnight. Patched? Hit the bar Almost every settlement or tradepost has a bar, and the barkeep sells 100ml shots of water for pocket change. It’s faster and cheaper than fiddling with purifiers. Blood Sacks are your daily canteens Speaking of water... Until midgame~lategame, blood purifiers will be your main water source. Build at least 2 or 3 early on and keep a stash of Blood Sacks (4 or 5 minimum) (yup you can do that) to stay hydrated. Later, you’ll unlock Medium Blood Sacks, which hold more and save space. But in the early game? Blood Sacks are basically your water bottles. Park your vehicle under cover There's no need to build a whole fortress at every corner just to protect you buggy. Just wedge it under a rock shelf or natural overhang and call it a day. Worms and griefers will still be a threat, but at least it won’t be nuked by a random event while you’re off looting and farming. Press "T" to check if your status is either sheltered or enclosed. Or... Store your sand bike with the Vehicle Backup Tool Use the backup tool to store your vehicle whenever you dismount. Research facilities are worth the detour These not just map clutter. Differently from other games (cough starfield cough cough) These places are actually pretty well designed and useful. They're gold mines for rare loot and unlocks, especially early game. If you find one near your base, congratulations - you’ve basically got a passive loot faucet. Biomes can roast you Each biome has a heat level, and hydration loss scales fast. Heat Level 2 or 3 zones can kill you just for going AFK, especially if you don’t have proper gear. Don’t treat the environment like it’s just cosmetic... it’s not. Solaris can be banked You can deposit your money at Harko Village or Arakeen. To get there, speak to the Ornithopter pilot at any Tradepost. Once in either of those towns, look for the CHOAM Exchange (Guild Bank). You should have a sidequest for this at some point. Once deposited, you can spend banked money with most vendors. The Exchange lets players auction stuff The acution house on this game is at these same 2 towns, it's called "The Exchange". How to pay for fast travel with banked money without withdrawing If you’re paying for a pilot trip, you can drop your money on the floor before paying, then pick it back up. Otherwise, the game drains your wallet before using your bank balance. But BE CAAAAAAAAAAAREFUL, on public servers floor-cash is public cash. Shipwrecks are PvP hot zones If you see a crashed ship, don’t sprint in willy nilly. These areas flagged and swarming with PvP. On public servers, always scan the site first with binoculars. Dead NPCs = someone’s already there. Look up. Base and Building Area 2+ means you have to pay taxes Welcome to the grown-up part of Arrakis. Once you progress in your jorney to the point of Area 2 and beyond, your base will be subject to imperial taxation. If you don’t pay, your base shield goes down... and you know what happens next lmao. Here's what it triggers it: You don’t need a large base right away LIIIIIIISTEN UP!!!!!!!!!! At the aforementioned point the game will nudge you towards upgrading to a larger base. More specifically, it'll ask you to research and deploy an advanced sub fief. But it turns out you can perfectly stick with your small one for a while longer. Doing so skips the tax system entirely. You pay taxes oldschool style I can't stress the above tip enough. To make matters worse, taxes aren't just debited from your account. Hahahaha noooo no no no no. You have to go to a place that requires either a taxi from a trade post or a thopter to get to. So, if you don't have a thopter yet, you'll end up paying a $2500 taxi fare just to get to the cashier and pay your $190 tax. Whoever thought it was a good idea to subtly nudge the player to build an advanced base that early in the game is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. But how many can I build? You are limited to three bases in the game in total, with a maximum of two basic consoles. All three can be advanced consoles. You can't merge them There will always be a slight gap between sub-fief build areas. So no you can't line up multiple bases and make a single building out of them. You can, theoretically, however, make it so that the gap is a courtyard or something. Be creative!不要对第一个基地投入太多感情。一旦你推进到下一个区域，初始基地就会因为距离太远而变得不实用，因此99%的玩家都会选择放弃它。你可以尽可能回收有用的东西然后继续前进，或者就让它在沙漠里慢慢荒废。这一点也适用于你在那11个小型容器里存放的所有东西——我知道你肯定建了这些容器……所以，不要当囤积者。把那些你不愿意使用或携带的东西都回收掉。不管怎样，不要过度建造。或者…… 帮助一下其他新手。你可以把你的东西留给新玩家，记得把容器的权限改成公开，并保持子领地处于激活状态。我第一次玩的时候，发现了一栋开着门的房子，里面有大量材料。这让我省去了一个小时徒步采集花岗岩和铜的时间。感谢善良的陌生人！ 不要在公共服务器上堵塞通道。 说真的，别做那样的人。在峡谷和瓶颈地带留出2x2的空隙，能确保人员和载具可以通行。恶意建造是快速招致仇恨、被抄家、被欺负甚至基地被举报并移除的方式。别这么做。 相反，建造美观的通道吧！资源方面也是如此。如果你遇到此类情况，请进行举报（按Esc键->请求帮助->提交漏洞报告）。（没错，选择“漏洞报告”即可。Funcom官方也一直建议玩家这样操作。）No need to run back and forth between your storage and buggy Thanks @defiant! You don't need to shuttle between your storage chests and vehicle storage. When you open a base storage chest up in the upper left you'll see Backpack with a drop down, click that and you can choose the vehicle storage and empty it directly to the storage chest you have open. No need to run back and forth. Turn off idle machines In your base’s general settings, disable any machines you’re not actively using. Stuff like the recycler and repair station are major power hogs and don’t need to run 24/7. Don’t nuke your own base by accident This is not like most survival games where you can have floating stuff. Buildings need structural support. Remove a floor or wall and anything attached to it will collapse. Machines can pull fuel from storage Fuel Cells, Lubricants, etc. don’t have to be in your inventory. As long as they’re in a nearby storage chest, machines will use them. Fabricators treat your refinery like a storage box They’ll auto-pull the materials when needed. No need to drag things back and forth between stations like a logistics mule. Protect your water bud Lastly, this is a good one I've seen many people caught by surprise: Unlike power, water flows through your base as a limited, single shared resource. So if you open public access to something like a cistern, someone could drain your entire supply. Be smart about permissions... hydration theft is real. Misc, System and UI There were some untold tips regarding the game menus and systems in general, I felt they deserved their own section. Complete tutorial journals for easy XP Check your Journal for area-specific tutorial objectives. Each one you finish nets you 200 XP, and they usually take 2–5 minutes. Great for pushing you to explore systems you’d otherwise ignore. Use the Social Menu for friends and base access You can assign permissions for your base, vehicles, or machines directly from the social menu. No need to run halfway across the map to hand your friends a key. The CommNet has actual radio stations Also in the Social Menu: CommNet. It’s not just filler. Think of it as the game's soundtrack, like GTA's or Fallout's radios. Press t to pay respects Your character UI hides a ton of useful info, and pressing T reveals all kinds of useful stuff, like environmental stats, temperature, radiation, and wind. There's also a paperdoll panel showing your current resistances and protection levels, look it up before planning excursions. Know the time and harvest dew like a pro Also inside the T menu is a time-of-day wheel: black means night, blue is dawn, and gold is day. Dew harvesting is best during the blue phase, that’s early morning. Hit a field at the right time and you’ll fill several Litrjons from just one patch. Shelter status matters, and you can see it live Your HUD shows your current shelter level: Unsheltered, Sheltered, Enclosed, or Watersealed. To survive sandstorms, you need at least Sheltered. Only Watersealed areas (typically inside your base) prevent hydration drain entirely. Oh, also note vehicles also need shelter during storms, or they’ll get wrecked. You’re not locked into your first class I said I'd get into classes soon enough. So, here goes... This is not a make-a-new-character-for-a-new-class kind of game. As you progress, you’ll eventually unlock all class trees. You’re free to respec every 48 hours, so don’t stress too much about your first build. Experiment and respec every now and then once you know what you're doing. Class trainers are spread out There are 5 basic class trainers: 2 at Tradeposts, and 1 each at the Atreides and Harkonnen bases. Advanced trainers? You’ll find those in Harko Village or Arakeen. The Planetologist line starts in the tutorial zone and always circles back to the first NPC you met there. Skip the intro movie Don’t want to sit through the splash screen every time you launch? Backup and delete the file named InitialIntro4k.bk2 within the game files. Patched! Intro can be easily skipped by pressing space now. Thanks @RunForRest Skip the Funcom 3rd party launcher Add the game's exe directory, followed by -nosplash -BattlEye -continuesession %command% to the Launch Options in the game's properties (steam library -> right click on game -> properties). This is how it ended up looking like on mine, it might differ on yours: "C: Program Files (x86) Steam steamapps common DuneAwakening DuneSandbox.exe" -nosplash -BattlEye -continuesession %command% Exploration, Traversal and Anti-Worm-Tips The worm and the deserts it roams is the reason we're all playing this game. Let's be honest. So, it's appropriate you know it's ins and outs. Watch the mouses Tiny desert mice (Muad’Dibs) are nature’s worm alert. If you see one burrow itself into the sand, RUN.别被吞了。说真的。 已经警告过你了。被沙虫吃掉会删除你携带的所有东西……装备、战利品，甚至钱。而且，这些东西都无法找回。所以除非你想主动扮演弗雷曼风味的蛋白质，否则【远离深沙区域，不要在开放地带骑着载具做蠢事】。 被抢了？把他们喂给沙虫。 有时候这游戏的社区真糟糕。恶意玩家有时会突然出现，就为了抢夺你刚提炼的香料。如果有人像寄生虫一样烦你，在他们的载具旁放置一个震荡器，让沙虫来处理他们。随时携带一个震荡器……它不只是用于旅行，更是伸张正义的工具。规划你的沙漠路线 穿越沙漠不靠勇气，全凭准备。没错，这是第二款【STRAND TYPE GAME】（笑）。选择岛屿间最短、最平坦且最笔直的路径。避开会迫使你转向或减速的地形。如果目的地较远，可以先考虑在更近的安全区之间跳跃。 检查地图上的鼓点区和流沙 这些是伪装成地形的死亡陷阱。标记出所有需要转向或减速的危险区域。在被沙虫追逐时，你根本没时间思考（稍后会详细说明），所以，提前做好规划。 了解沙虫即将突袭的征兆 留意沙虫踪迹：沙子波动、岩石崩塌和扬起的尘云。注意倾听碎裂声或低沉的隆隆声，但不要仅依赖声音。沙虫可能会悄无声息地突袭。如果你看到或听到任何异常情况，等待30-60秒再移动。如果沙虫的突袭点很近（1公里以内），就原地等待直到结束。 不要慢慢挪到开阔沙地。 进入危险区域前，将摩托车对准方向并全速行驶。启动速度越慢，逃生速度就越慢。 不要试图对沙虫进行潜行。 直接冲过去，别想着偷偷摸摸地从它旁边过。站着不动或缓慢移动是骗不过沙虫的。 震动警报 如果震动警报一出现就从橙色跳变为红色，立即停下。你已经被沙虫盯上了。不要冒险，后退，重新规划路线。 突袭警报 如果突袭动画开始，立刻行动。全速前进。没时间查看地图或转弯。你可能无法逃脱，但犹豫的话就一定逃不掉。别低空悬停 说真的。这该死的沙虫有着不合常理的空中攻击范围。如果你在虫潮期间驾驶旋翼机低空飞行，基本就是在自投罗网。 沙虫什么都吃 残骸、尸体、废弃的摩托车，甚至混凝土……只要是在开阔的沙地上，都可能成为它的目标。如果你在行驶中翻车且没有立即死亡，有时最明智的做法就是弃车并寻找掩护。丢点装备总比失去一切好。Gear and Equipment You can cliff-dive with your sand bike I already mentioned this, but in case you missed it, feel free to yeet yourself off cliffs while mounted. It’s a great way to drop altitude without wasting suspensor energy. Belt’s about to run dry? Send it. Armor and stillsuits are separate categories You can mix looks as long as you don't break gear type. Want passive water retention? Wear the stillsuit chestpiece Head and foot pieces boost water collection quantity, but aren’t required. For pure function, chest is all you need. Armor for defense, Stillsuit for enviromental protection Light armor usually has enviromental protection. Heavy armor? Often zero. Don’t walk into a Level 3 biome in full plate unless you enjoy evaporating. You should always have a favorite set for each, one for when you'll go out looking for a fight, and another for exploration. Press U on equipped items to use another one's looks Equip the piece, then press U to open the appearance menu to transmog. PS: If you bought the Deluxe Edition, this is also where your Sardaukar armor lives. The Static Compactor isn’t just for crafting It doubles as a utility tool: you can use it to put out fires and clear poison gas. First time I played I skipped the tutorial and missed this, as it's mentioned there lol. Thus why I bothered putting it here. You can hand-harvest Spice and Flour Sand It's slower (way ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slower) but doing it manually causes fewer vibrations. Less noise = less chance of calling in a worm while trying to be subtle. Good in solo or PvP contexts where stealth > speed. Human bodies show up on scanners as water sources Yup... That’s a thing. Even through walls. So if your scanner pings “water” indoors and there’s no purifier, guess what: someone died in there. The Buggy-Cutarray is better than it looks Ignore the “bad efficiency” warning... the Cutarray still hauls in way more per swing than manual mining. It may not be pretty, but it gets the job done. Save your arms and use the damn thing. PVE Combat Dodging gets you out of stagger If you’re staggered and stuck in that slow recovery state, dodge. It cancels the stagger and gets you back in action faster. The game mentions this early, but if you’re like me, it took hours before it actually clicked. Burrow Darts can be dodged When you see those telltale burrowing lines heading toward you, don’t wait for the hit. Dodge while they’re still underground and they’ll miss entirely. Get close to shielded enemies Thanks @kamikaze [SWE]! Early-game wise, shielded heavy machine-gunners are easier to take down with a blade rather than wasting 500 darts to the head. Shields drop when enemies shoot If an enemy has a shield up, bait them into firing their weapon. As soon as they shoot, their shield drops and stays off during the reload animation. Use that window to rush or return fire. This applies to you too, by the way. You can break shields without shieldbreaking gear Enough raw damage will pop an enemy’s shield, even without specialized weapons. It’s slower, but doable, so don’t panic if you left your shock blade back at base. Melee enemies with shields will pull a gun if ignored If a melee unit can’t close the gap, it’ll eventually switch to a ranged weapon. And as you just learned, they’ll drop their shield while firing. Grenades still hurt shielded enemies Not a lot, but enough to matter. Even if they don’t break the shield, the splash damage and pressure will often make the enemy reposition, duck behind cover, or stop firing. Worth throwing just to break their flow. Any other PVE tips I missed? Comment below! Let's improve this! PVP Combat Rapier is clowning The rapier is the current (as of june 2025) meta. Better damage cadence, better initiative, better everything. Air combat gets boring. Fast Rocket thopter PvP? Fun for an hour, maybe two. Then it’s just flying in circles. Specially since... Thopter duels almost always end in ground combat Here’s how 95% of rocket thopter fights go: both players bail and VBT their way into a knife fight. The other 5% are fresh spawns running Tier 2 disticombs without even activating their shield. Pro tip: you’re often better off in a 1v2 air skirmish than trying to duel a lone suspensor belt spammer with a lock-on T6 launcher. Ground PvP is better than you’ve heard Despite all the doomposting during closed beta, ground combat is in surprisingly decent shape. Desync isn’t frequent enough to ruin fights... just annoying when it happens. Melee dominates, hybrids with a melee skew feel strongest, and ranged builds aren’t useless... just... not meta. Yet. Buggies need protection Currently, vehicles = glorified paperweights. A couple rocket hits and the entire squad’s dead. Don't count on it. Suspensor Blast is busted Between its weird animation cancels and infinite edge potential, Suspensor Blast is both broken and abusable. Either lock its animation or give it proper vulnerability during edge abuse. Right now, it’s a floaty cheese-fest. Control points are a joke They’re either locked for too long or unlocked for 10 seconds before being completed. Miss this. Any other PVP tips I missed? Comment below! Let's improve this! Best Early Sandbike - How to get Head to Keyhole Rock, southeast of Mihna Cavern. Inside the top room (right side), there’s a chest that can drop one of two blueprints: either Old Sparky Mk1 or the superior Mohandis Sandbike Engine Mk1. If you get the wrong one, wait 45 minutes and try again. The Mohandis Engine Mk1 is faster than anything else early on and only needs basic resources to craft. Next, do the Scrap Mettle contract chain to unlock: Sandbike Booster Mk2 (better speed/acceleration) Sandbike Inventory Mk2 (15 storage slots) Plus a decent cutterCombine the engine with both upgrades and you’re set for the entire early game. Best Early Weapon Set - How to get Way of the Fallen (Sidearm) Fast, reliable, and deadly at mid-range. Great fire rate, solid damage, not ideal for long-distance but perfect for aggressive skirmishes. Find the blueprint in the chest room at Old Griffin Hideaway, just west of Griffin’s Reach Tradepost. Aren’s Vengeance (Rifle) Fires in three-round bursts with great stability and accuracy. Strong at longer ranges and perfect for picking off targets before they get close. The blueprint is in the chest room at Broken Stone Station, south of Mihna Cavern (you'll go there naturally during the story). Kaleff’s Drinker (Blade) A short blade that deals solid melee damage and harvests blood with every hit, perfect for staying hydrated in the early game. You’ll find the blueprint at the end of the Wreck of Alcyon. Overall Experience These are mostly my personal yappings regarding how you should tackle the gameplay. These represent how I would’ve wanted to have played it back then, at least. Feel free to suggest counterpoints or suggestions in the comments! It’s fine to change your mind Pick the wrong class? Hate your build? Reroll your skills, swap classes, or just start a new character. You’re not locked into anything. Play the aspects of the game you most enjoy, ignore the rest PvE, PvP, crafting, base-building, blood-farming, lore-chasing, whatever. It’s all valid. You paid for the game, not for internet points. Arguing with randos about the “correct” way to play is just wasted time you could spend doing literally anything else. These ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ did enough damage on the soulsborne community (hurrr you can't summon, durrr if you use summons ur bad), don't listen to them here. Don’t base your expectations on the Steam Boards Know that the Steam discussion board (same goes for Facebook groups' and reddit subs') troll isn’t the average player. Most of what you’ll find here are extreme takes from people who grind the game nonstop or treat it like a second job. If you base your class or build decisions on Reddit meta-chatter, prepare for disappointment. Do your own thing! And have fun! This game is absolutely phenomenal! Enjoy the good that it has to offer! This game’s not “done” Know that what you’re playing is an evolving live service. Betas aren’t the final word, and even release isn’t either. Expect meaningful changes over time. Think a year out, not a weekend in. Dune Awakening is being built in motion, like most modern MMOs. It sometimes sucks, but that’s the industry now. Don’t chase meta The meta will shift. Guides will age. Skills will get buffed, nerfed, or replaced. This is a survival game!!! You're meant to make bad choices, learn from them, and improvise. Play how you want, mess things up, and enjoy the chaos. That's the point. Suggestions? Between the time I publish this and the time you read it, the game will probably have been patched dozens of times. So it's only natural that some inaccuracies might show up. If that's the case, feel free to leave your own tips or corrections in the comments! I'll gladly update the contents with them. Let's make this the definitive D:A guide!!!
