How To Fast Travel In Dune: Awakening

When I started playing Dune: Awakening for the first time, what stood out most was the immense size of the game world. The sand dunes on Arrakis are colossal in scope, and I soon found myself growing frustrated with how long it was taking me to move across them. This is when I stumbled upon the game’s somewhat complicated fast-travel system. Here are some instructions for using fast travel in Dune: Awakening, as well as information on when you can unlock it and a list of locations where you can quickly travel between.

When I began playing Dune: Awakening for the first time, I was amazed by the enormous size of the game world. The massive sand dunes on Arrakis made me feel frustrated because it took so long to move across them. Then I found out about the game’s complex fast-travel system. Here are some instructions on how to use fast travel in Dune: Awakening, including when you can unlock it and a list of places where you can quickly jump to.

How to unlock fast travel

In Dune: Awakening, you’ll discover that fast travel isn’t introduced through the main quests, quite unexpectedly. Instead, you’ll encounter an NPC hidden within a side quest who will guide you on how to use fast travel. The earliest chance to utilize this feature comes during the “A Wider World” side quest, as you progress further in the game, you’ll unlock vehicles like the Sandbike and more.

The initial opportunity to accept this quest presents itself on your first trip to Griffin’s Reach Tradepost. For me, this occurred approximately three hours into the game. Considering I spent a considerable amount of time searching for an ideal location to establish my base and later expanded it into a four-story mansion, it’s clear how such tasks can consume time.

No matter what, when you’re at Griffin’s Reach, swing by the ornithopter pilot hanging out in the corner of the main building – you’ll spot ’em right across from the contracts board. You can chat them up and request a ride to one of their drop-off points: Hagga Basin, Arrakeen, or Harko Village.

In Harko Village, which is one of the Harkonnen strongholds, you’ll find yourself. House Atreides takes refuge in Arrakeen, another location you can easily reach. Lastly, you’ve already explored Hagga Basin. You have the option to quickly fly to any of these locations. Although fast travel through the main map isn’t available initially, there’s usually a Tradepost nearby, especially during the early stages of the game. Later on, you can use your own vehicles to swiftly navigate the dunes.

For those embarking on their initial journey through Dune: Awakening, here are some valuable starter suggestions to boost your chances of thriving!
