In simpler terms, a desert is an enigmatic landscape. It may appear as merely an expanse of sand, rocks, and sparse plant life, but it teems with life if you look closer. As the mathematician Albert Einstein once put it, “Life finds a way,” and this holds true for deserts too. This concept might have inspired Frank Herbert to write “Dune,” a novel centered around a desert planet named Arrakis. Despite its lack of natural rainfall, life thrives there – from saguaro cacti, burro bushes, and date palms to kit foxes, desert hawks, kangaroo mice, and the colossal sandworms that are synonymous with this universe. These creatures, including the sandworms, are featured in the latest game inspired by Herbert’s vision – Dune Awakening. Since the game is played from a third-person perspective, encounters with the sandworms feel more personal and terrifying than ever, especially since losing your loot is the consequence of death in
How to avoid worms in Dune Awakening
In Frank Herbert’s world, sandworms are undeniably iconic creatures. These giant, worm-like beings can swiftly strip you of your valuable gear in the game Dune Awakening. It’s often unavoidable to come across them, especially when delving into the Deep Desert for endgame items like thermoelectric coolers on a planet like Arrakis – finding a single grain of sand can be as challenging as finding a needle in a haystack. To prevent losing the precious resources you’ve gathered due to an unwanted encounter with a sandworm, you might find it beneficial to learn some strategies for avoiding them.
- It is probably obvious, yet don’t venture through worms’ territory without a vehicle. Without it, you are basically dead in the sand. Having one with a boost is a must.
- Observe the desert surface. If you notice sand shifts, you see worm breaches or detect vibrations, reconsider your path. It’s better to stay safe and go around to your destination than being eaten alive.
- Clad yourself in Softstep Boots, which reduce the worm threat. You will be able to craft them at a General Fabricator or a Garment Fabricator. To get them, you will need some iron ingots, plasteel microflora fiber, plant fiber and spice-infused iron dust.
- Do not use your shields in the worm-infested area. This device acts as a lure for those critters once used.
- If you find yourself in a pinch, you can consider using well timed knee charge skill to avoid smaller worms’ maws.
Navigating through Funcom’s desert world can prove challenging, not just because of the rampant sandworms, but also due to occasional technical hurdles. For instance, you may encounter errors like “server locked” or “outdated client,” which were apparent even during the London presentation. Despite these issues, the game was enthusiastically received by fans upon its release on Steam. Intriguingly, some fans seem to prefer it over Destiny 2, a situation that could potentially pose a challenge for Bungie, given their past struggles with Marathon.
Looking forward, updates for Dune Awakening should enhance the gameplay, making it even more enjoyable since it already offers a fantastic adventure through the breathtaking yet harsh environment of Arrakis. Enjoy your time exploring!
