Funcom has just dropped a significant update for Dune: Awakening, introducing Patch 1.2.10.0 packed with player-friendly features and a swift hotfix to iron out some pesky issues. This update enhances survival gameplay on the harsh sands of Arrakis, making resource management and exploration even more thrilling.
What's New in Patch 1.2.10.0?
This patch brings a host of improvements that directly impact how players navigate the open-world survival RPG. The standout Vehicle Recovery System lets you reclaim lost rides, saving precious time and resources in the Deep Desert. Increased vehicle draw distance means spotting your ornithopter from farther away, reducing those frustrating moments of getting stranded.
Loot hunters will love the new instanced loot in the Deep Desert, ensuring everyone gets a fair shot at rare finds without competition turning cutthroat. Building enthusiasts get a Replace Mode in the menu for seamless structure tweaks, plus 17 fresh Dune Man pieces to customize your base with that authentic Arrakis flair.
- Tech Tree search bar for quicker navigation through upgrades
- Expanded bank slots and storage volume to hoard more spice and gear
As a player who's spent hours dodging sandworms, these changes feel like a breath of fresh air—or should I say, a gulp of recycled water? They streamline the core loop of gathering, crafting, and surviving, potentially shifting strategies for base defense and exploration.
Hotfix 1.2.10.1 Tackles Critical Bugs
Hot on the heels of the patch, Funcom deployed Hotfix 1.2.10.1 to squash some urgent problems. It fixes server crashes that could interrupt intense sessions, resolves Ornithopter glitches when using pentashields, and corrects paid taxes defaulting incorrectly on North American servers.
