Dune: Awakening lets players bypass faction restrictions when collecting gear. Exclusive traders in key locations provide access to rival faction items despite your allegiance.

This breakdown reveals vendor locations and acquisition methods for cross-faction vehicles, armor, and Stronghold blueprints across both major factions.

Acquiring Home Faction Gear (Atreides)

Atreides-aligned players locate their primary vendor on Arrakeen’s western sector. Navigate to the map marker labeled “Atreides Vendor” to access faction-specific buggies, sandbikes, and architectural blueprints at standard prices.

Scrolling through inventory reveals premium armor sets and specialized vehicles. The 80,000 Solaris Stronghold Construction Set enables building faction-themed bases with unique architectural elements.

Purchasing Rival Faction Items (Atreides Players)

Harkonnen gear becomes available through an unmarked merchant near Arrakeen’s eastern entrance. Approach the NPC beside the Scrap Trader – though lacking a map indicator, this vendor stocks Harkonnen equipment at 200% standard cost.

Inventory includes Harkonnen Desert Armor variants and vehicle modifications. While pricing discourages bulk purchases, this remains the only method for Atreides loyalists to obtain opposing faction gear.

Harkonnen Loyalist Purchases

Harkonnen members access their primary quartermaster immediately after security checkpoints in Harko Village. This explicitly labeled vendor provides standard-cost access to faction-exclusive weaponry and mechanized units.

Faction-locked access prevents Atreides infiltration, ensuring Harkonnen players maintain exclusive affordability for their signature gear.

Cross-Faction Acquisition for Harkonnen Members

Harkonnen operatives seeking Atreides technology must navigate to the Weapons Merchant in Harko Village’s northeastern quadrant. Passing Bene Gesserit training grounds leads to a premium vendor charging 160,000 Solaris for base construction sets.

This markup mirrors the premium Atreides players face when obtaining Harkonnen items, creating balanced economic barriers for cross-faction collectors.
