The release of the acclaimed MMO Dune: Awakening based on the books by Frank Herbert is not long to wait - the release is scheduled for May 20. And while the public is anticipating this event, the developers are heating up people's interest by releasing different materials about the virtual universe. This time Funcom employees decided to share information about the study of the most dangerous planet in the universe. Let's tell you more about what the sands of Arrakis hide.
Players have been told how to explore the planet in Dune: Awakening
What to do in the open world of Dune: Awakening?
The developers immediately say that without exploring the world in the game will not go far. You have to search for rare technologies and materials to equip your personal shelter and equip your hero. And for this you will have to make maps of the area, putting on them new details and points of interest. You will learn that Arrakis is not just a vast sea of dunes, but a diverse planet, where you can find ancient ruins, deposits of materials and even locations with special gameplay - like the radioactive Sheol. To properly explore the world around you, you need to build transportation. This will not only allow you to travel further, but also to scan around for anything of value, be it spare parts, ore, spice or anything else.
At the beginning of the journey the main problems of the characters will be heat, thirst, quicksand and sandstorms. One should not forget about giant worms. In such conditions will help shade and night, after which you can collect dew and thus replenish water supplies. But build a shelter and the dangers are gone. Here you can rest from your adventures, replenish your supplies and make useful equipment. Another interesting mechanic is towers, like in Assassin's Creed or Mad Max. To map a region, you need to climb up to a high point and survey the area from above. This method allows you to find the wrecks of spaceships that crashed into the dunes or imperial climate stations.
