In Dune Awakening, players can explore Arrakis alone or collaborate with allies. Random encounters with others may occur even in solo play, featuring basic communication options through gesture-based expressions.

Though deep dialogue isn’t supported, you might greet fellow explorers with a friendly signal or convey hostile motives through ominous animations. Mastering emote customization enhances your social toolkit – here’s how to manage these visual cues.

Customizing Your Emote Collection

Modify your equipped emotes through the Inventory interface. Navigate using directional keys to access expression settings, then press designated controls to swap gestures. Alternatively, manually rearrange them via drag-and-drop functionality. Certain animation unlocks depend on your origin story selection during character setup, with distinct cultural gestures tied to specific planetary backgrounds.

Executing Nonverbal Communication

Activate gestures via radial menu accessed through mouse controls. Hold the middle button while selecting an animation, then release to perform it. For alternative input methods, utilize the Tab key to trigger the emote interface instead of mouse controls.
