In the harsh dunes of Arrakis, securing your legacy just got easier. The new Base Backup Tool in Patch 1.2.20.0 allows you to save and restore your constructions, though it skips vehicles and anything placed on natural rock formations. This means you can experiment with base designs without fear of total loss during raids or sandworm encounters, enhancing the role-playing depth as you forge your path as a survivor.
Vehicle Transport and Audio Upgrades
Carrier ornithopters now let you transport vehicles between maps, opening up new strategic options for exploration and resource gathering. Imagine relocating your thumper-equipped buggy to a spice-rich zone without starting from scratch—it changes how you approach the open world's vast distances. Plus, fresh radio music tracks add atmospheric layers to your journeys, immersing you further in the sci-fi lore.
What New Building Pieces Come with the Lost Harvest DLC?
The Lost Harvest DLC expands with 17 new Dune Man building pieces, perfect for crafting thematic strongholds that blend into the desert environment. These additions encourage creative base-building tied to the game's narrative of Fremen mysteries and survival against imperial forces.
Artbook and Community Perks
Dive deeper into the game's creation with 'The Art and Making of Dune: Awakening,' now available for purchase. It uncovers the artistic secrets behind Arrakis' design, offering insights that enrich your appreciation of the world's lore. Meanwhile, the Twitch Drops campaign runs until November 19, 2025, rewarding viewers with items like the Atreides Battle Rifle skin for featured community contributors.
How Does the Base Backup Tool Impact Gameplay?
This tool safeguards your progress, letting you recover from disasters and focus on uncovering Arrakis' secrets rather than constant rebuilding. It's a game-changer for long-term playthroughs, where every structure tells part of your character's story.
