There are plenty of sand dunes, from prime-based building locations to sandwarm survival strategies. I’m not told before I wake up.

The focus of this guide is to optimize your early game progress and help you survive the many threats you encounter. Based on my own death and downfall at Arakis, Here are the most important tips and tricks you should know before you start.
Choose your starting class wisely
Dune: Awakening allows you to choose from four starting classes. Bene Gesselit, Trooper, Mentat, Swordsmanhowever, as you progress through the game, you will be able to meet each class’s mentor and mix the skills, passives and techniques of all your classes. Ultimately, a fifth class called planetologists specializing in exploration and resource gathering will be available.
This allows you to build hybrid characters and takes real-time to find the best one for your playstyle. Therefore, choosing a starting class is a very important decision. The sandworm is nearby and there’s no time to start over.

Always prepare
Survival Mechanics and Dunes: When Awakening nails it, there is a boundary of satisfaction and annoying. Hydration is the key to the hostile desert lands of Arachis, so you have to Keep your keen eye on your hydration meter. Find plants that hydrate themselves to carry drops and build blood purifiers at the base.
Get a blood purifier and a blood bag, and you can collect and purify the blood of your enemy, and drink it to survive. There are a few things you need to prepare for Arrakis. Stay hydrated, healing supplies and ammunition stock up, make sure your equipment is repaired, and make room for stock for new loot.
No one likes to take a walk of shame to retrieve items after being killed. It will slow your progress significantly, especially if the sandworm holds you. So take some time to prepare. Then you’re on your way to control the dunes.
Beware of sandworms
Sandworm is a crazy goliath It pops out of the sand and swallows your whole thing. As you pass through a large, open section of the desert, you will notice that a sand vibration meter shows you how much noise it will create. If you are open long enough, the sandworm will charge you, Dying to one means losing all the items you carry.
It is recommended to stay as close as possible to the rocks. If you need to cross open space, look for a pass that has not been exposed for a long period of time. Avoid high-pitched or jumping. Because avoid it as it makes more noise and attracts sandworms to your place faster.
I love the way funcom designed the sandworms for the dunes. When your inventory is full of valuable booty and you really don’t want to die. Embracing the rocks, looking at the sand vibration meter, looking for the shortest path as you cross open sand.
Hoarding helps
Some people may think they’ll try and collect all the last vegetable fiber and metal scraps in your way, but in the end it may slow you down Stock up and looting materials will begin to reach the spikes of massive progress. You find and loot resources everywhere you see, and there are several reasons why gathering extra time is so valuable.
Getting resources gives you experience, Even if you’re sprinting towards a quest marker, you can pick up resources without stoppingprovides a way to earn XP while traveling. Not only will you get XP by picking up resources, but once you have a great stockpile in your storage, you can create ammunition, consumables, gear, and build your base without stopping and going to search for more materials.
Basic positioning is important
Arrakis is huge and builds several bases in various locations, If you wisely choose your first base location, you will have a smoother early gaming experience. We recommend you settle close to the trading post. This will save you a lot of travel time by creating and replacing materials.
Another thing to consider is to settle close to large camps and POIs. This makes it easier to access the battles between XP and the loot. This is basically a leveling multiplier, which is what you’re looking for and for satisfying combat mechanics. Agricultural camping and leveling don’t feel like a chore.
Also, resources are located near Combat XP and loot, resource spawns and trading post POIS because they respawn resources after mining or collecting.
Finding the best place to call your home is not easy, especially in a desert filled with Godzilla-sized worms, but if you take a little time to explore, you will find that there are great benefits to planning your initial base construction.
Radie Sandbike Combo
Arrakis is a vast desert filled with mountains, and is a massive amount of ground soaked with worms to cover. The benefits of mobility are incredibly valuable. One of the best ways to avoid the desert is to use a sandbike. This will allow you to build it yourself once you find, create and weld all the parts.
You can loot Imperial test stations and get individual bicycle parts from merchants in the trading post. Use the base manufacturer to build a welder and use it to build a sandbike manually. This reduces travel time by half, which increases Easy to collect exploration experiencesthis is one of the fastest ways to level up in the dunes: awakening.
If you have made enough progress to unlock a trooper’s skill tree (or if the trooper is your starting class), You can access Shigaware Claw, an incredibly important mobility tool. Shigawire is essentially a grappling hook that allows you to easily discover hard-to-reach areas, and can also be used to stagger enemies in combat.
At the start of the game, you have the option to lock or unlock your research tree. I recommend you unlock it so that you have the freedom to build your own path and potentially be free Add the Shigawire-Sandbike combo to your kit as soon as possible.
