But, ultimately, we feel people are coming here to be on Arrakis and https://Observatorioedu.Com to play the first game where you're living on Arrakis and experiencing Arrakis. Arrakis is Dune, and Dune is sand and rocks. It's what people want in it, and I think the art team has done a really good job of making that come to reality and keeping things varied as if you are going into different bio

You can get individual bike parts by looting Imperial Testing Stations or from merchants at the trading post. Use the fabricator in your base to build the welder, and then use it to manually construct your Sandbike. This will cut your travel time in half and make it much easier to collect exploration experience , which is one of the fastest ways to level in Dune: Awaken

Having experienced little more than the base level survival aspects, some tweaking during the ongoing closed beta periods will be needed. The majority of the objectives I was tasked with asked me to find specific resources, which were usually plentiful, and then return to my base to use it in crafting. Rinse and repeat. The sort of stuff has been the staple of this genre for years

Sandworms are unkillable goliaths that will pop out of the sand and swallow you whole. As you pass over large open sections of the desert, you'll notice a sand vibration meter that will show you how much noise you're creating. If you stay out in the open long enough, a sandworm will charge you, and dying to one means losing every item you're carry

When you're working with an IP like Dune, you have to have these narrative elements . That's what people expect, or it doesn't really feel like the IP. The narrative here is more important than probably any survival game that I've played. I'm sure there are maybe some single-player ones that have similar narrative elements, but it's important to us. It will be important throughout the player's journey. The post-launch will continue to expand the narrative by building on the story, eventually concluding at some time far in the future, and then starting a new type of story that takes o

Combat can go any number of ways in survival games, and Dune: Awakening finds itself somewhere right in the middle. It is fun and serviceable, even if it is not exactly groundbreaking for the genre. Players can acquire new skills throughout the skill trees, based on archetypes in Dune like the Bene Gesserit , and use those in various combat encounters. Because of my choices at the start of the game, I began with a deployable turret. Throughout my time with the game, it became my go-to skill because it would consistently kill all enemies in the area very quickly. I later acquired a deployable shield wall that would also let me protect myself and let the turret put in the work. The combination was fun, although there were times when I had (or wanted) to get involved myself. My third skill was effectively a poison grenade, but I only used it if my turret couldn't be deplo

Zantara was injured in the escape, giving us tasks to survive now through a communication device. We acquired some basic armor, began collecting resources with our cutteray, and crafted a Maula Pistol (which uses darts instead of bullets given the shield technology of Dune and how ineffective firearms became). Then we researched and crafted binoculars and a respawn beacon. What we could not scavenge ourselves, of course, we needed to take from others. We identified a nearby scavenger camp with our binoculars and attacked them for resources. Using those, as well as finding more resources, let us craft a Construction T

You can do this by gathering Intel, a resource you can find marked on your map at various outposts. You also get Intel by leveling up and playing through the game normally. The more Intel you have, the more technology you can research, and the more powerful you can bec

It took us some time to find this cave, and in the process, we came across one of the underground labs/dungeons. While it wasn't without challenge, it essentially involved us fighting through groups of enemies to acquire rare components. Afterward, we finally found the cave, grabbed some resources from it too, and then had to go all the way back to the base to purify water and drink it. And craft a stillsuit that would slowly charge with urine for us to hydrate w

As the world opens up, traversal also gets easier. I was only given a brief chance to test out the Ornithopter and Sandbike, both of which were a lot of fun, and they also make exploration less stressful. When the full game is released, I’m going to be using the Ornithopter at every opportunity instead of trawling through the sands on my own two feet. It’ll keep me safe from patrolling sandworms

While most of Arrakis is a barren wasteland filled with scavenger camps and other locales to discover, there are also various settlements and trading outposts that are worth exploring. The first one you can discover in the starting area is called Griffin's Reach Tradepost, and has a merchant in addition to some other important N
