This update isn't just about distant horizons—it's packed with immediate tools to enhance your survival saga. The Base Backup Tool, hitting the Public Test Client next week, lets you store entire bases as inventory items. Imagine dismantling your hard-earned outpost and rebuilding it elsewhere on the dunes, preserving your progress amid the planet's unforgiving shifts.
What Does Chapter 3 Mean for Your Fremen Journey?
Chapter 3 promises to uncover more about the Fremen's disappearance, weaving in narrative threads that tie into the core mystery. The new Landsraad system introduces contracts that could align you with powerful houses, influencing your character's development and alliances. Specializations might let you specialize in spice harvesting or sandworm evasion, adding layers to how you shape your legend on Arrakis.
Before that, character transfers are rolling out within the next few weeks, with server merges planned by year's end. This means you can carry your seasoned survivor to a new server without losing a beat, crucial for those who've invested hours in resource management and base building.
How Will the December Update Change Exploration?
The December patch brings the Cargo Container for Carrier Ornithopters, allowing you to haul harnessed vehicles between maps. This opens up seamless travel across Arrakis's vast expanses, making it easier to explore distant regions without abandoning your crafted gear. It's a game-changer for adventure-focused players delving into the planet's secrets.
On the balance front, they've tweaked Crippling Strike: stamina dash costs are down, and dash distance is up, improving your ability to disengage in combat. This subtle shift could redefine close-quarters fights against rival survivors or environmental threats, giving you more options to forge your path without getting bogged down in prolonged skirmishes.
Funcom also mentioned an in-game vendor for past Twitch Drops arriving in November, ensuring you can snag those missed rewards to enhance your role-playing kit. As Dune: Awakening evolves, these updates keep the sci-fi RPG's world feeling alive and responsive to player needs.
