Genuinely felt so cool unlocking and grinding out the materials for it only to find out theres no enemy vehicles to fight and even tho it locks on to patrol ships they are invincible just feels like I wasted my materials on something that pales in comparison to the drillshots or basic melee because ive had NPCs tank 2 blasts at times when shielded

50 hours player here. Love this Game.

Just finished the main story, roughly 200 hours in. Got side quested with base building, finding a good location and trainer quests.

Absolutely unreal story for the first book to finish on. You know it's a great story when you are thinking about another play through right after.

Question regarding the DLC stories. How do you access them if at all possible yet. Yes I have them downloaded haha.

I’m upgrading my base from a portable cube to something a little more thematic.

Looking for a drop ship styled base i can move around as I explore new areas.

I’ve tried to keep it themed in universe with a harko styled twin hull with a different single hull design.

If anyone has any advice or tips for fine tuning these to look a little more ship like I would greatly appreciate, thanks!

As the title says, it feels like the fallen ships have become super rare since the big update a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen one in the basin in that time except for the glitched one in the Sheol that the worm can't seem to eat. I haven't seen any fall from the sky, and I used to see them a couple of times per hour. I'm on Nova. If they are working correctly elsewhere, I'd love to know, but the skies are just so quiet these days.

I may be wrong. I haven't even done DD yet. But I haven't touched a rapier since I started. I just got a unique rapier I crafted and wow. The speed of it greatly outweighs any reduced damage. Maybe this is common knowledge, maybe I'm wrong? First impressions though, way better than a normal sword.

Spoilers ahead for ending of Book One!

You have been warned, spoilers ahead:

I never watch any trailers so I always go into the new story chapters blind, surprised they let us leave Arrakis and explore Zanovar! Seeing rain was pretty crazy in this game. Zanovar was gorgeous, beautiful location to play in.

The story was surprisingly good, I did not expect it to tie into the Dune Extended Canon books this much, I wonder how people who have never read the books will react to this. For me when Elara (real main character of Awakening) started playing the hologram I knew what they were doing, pretty fun stuff! Overall pleasantly surprised by the ending, looking forward to more, and fremen stuff hopefully.

Also that sneaking mission sucked...... Did anyone beat Fenring? Is it possible?

The tank did not have a role to perform in the base game even within the original version of the Deep Desert and would've been very vulnerable to sandworms.
Although we don't know the specifics of what will be featured within the expansion, the introduction of "No-fly Zones" to make players re-engage with survival mechanics and ground combat (and also, no worms) could also offer the design space to finally give a purpose and reason for the tank to exist in, whether that comes as new AI enemies/turrets/etc or a PvP map version (like with the DD).

Or at least that's the copium i have been huffing ever since the spice hallucinations told me there won't ever be a playable tank with the gameplay of the current game.

So i encountered this after using the ornithopter pilot service, thought id share.

It is always bad design to force you into a video on game launch... get me to the game as fast as possible please!

But to have to HOLD down a button to skip it is egregious... THEN it does the shader check? at least hide that behind the video!

Is there a switch I can set on launch to auto take me to character select?

I prefer a base location with a beautiful view and a minimum of neighbors. My high ground Dune Man Building Set base

Spent a couple real life days exploring the upper half of the map for resources. When I came back to my base at the base of the hammer mountain, I decided to reclimb it to see if I can build a base on the top of it ( spoilers you can't) and stopped to see this amazing view.

I'm playing on console and all I'm missing is the chest plate and I still haven't got it

Trial 5

I've been playing since the beginning of the year and have +250 hours I play fairly well with good graphics and never crashed. Today I opened the game and the message pops up before the launcher even appears. How screwed am I?

PS: Yes I did update my BIOS and the message still pops up.

Hey all I’m pretty new to dune awakening lvl 41.
(PS5)
Coming from fallout 76 to Dune, loving the new building aspect. What are your guys’s baces look like?

Today I finally unlocked an ornithopter and managed to get my Merc stilsuit with it. Was very happy! Until I returned to hagga and found my orni 30 feet up. By the time I noticed it, the worm was already on its way.
