Mid and Late Game Progression

Upgrade your base with high-efficiency generators and modular storage systems for streamlined production. Create distinct areas for manufacturing, stockpiling resources, and deploying automated defenses. Completing faction missions unlocks exclusive gear and passive perks—prioritize recurring tasks to maintain a competitive edge. 

Forge alliances to coordinate collective defenses and rapid resource acquisition. Combine abilities from all available classes to craft unique playstyles suited for solo survival or team-based domination.

Salvaging Wrecks

Scan crash sites using the Cutter Array to locate removable hull panels. Extract rare components swiftly, as lingering increases exposure to hostile players and environmental threats. Prioritize schematics and lightweight materials to conserve inventory space.

Buried Loot Excavation

Mount the Sandbag Scanner M2 on vehicles for wide-range cache detection in open dunes. Deploy Static Compactors immediately upon signal detection to reveal underground stashes. Carry multiple Compactors during expeditions to maximize loot retrieval from randomized rewards.

Efficient Hydration

Construct Dew Reapers to harvest moisture during twilight hours. Transfer captured water into portable containers for on-demand hydration. Centralize storage tanks near crafting stations to minimize refill downtime between missions.

Trading Post Strategies

Secure the Hajra Literjon schematic early to craft enhanced water containers. Acquire all available blueprints from wandering merchants and prioritize immediate research. Stockpile multiple Literjons to sustain prolonged operations in moisture-scarce regions.

Setting Your Respawn

Activate Sub-Fief terminals immediately to avoid spawning at distant locations. Regularly update waypoints when relocating bases to prevent costly retrieval missions across dangerous territories.

Resource Scouting

Map mineral deposits and fiber clusters before finalizing base locations. Seek granite formations that provide dual benefits as resource nodes and Sandworm shelters. Position near conflict zones if engaging in PvP to scavenge abandoned gear efficiently.

Vehicle Management

Store Sandbikes in enclosed structures during storms using the Vehicle Backup Tool. Prioritize shelter over speed when weather alerts activate—abandoning unprotected transports often outweighs repair costs.

Early Base Building

Establish temporary bases with essential infrastructure before unlocking the Solido Replicator for seamless relocation. Balance power consumption across multiple generators to prevent system failures. Schedule fuel replenishment to deter structural decay and enemy raids.

Sandworm Evasion Techniques

Divert worm attention by abandoning vehicles during pursuits. Seek elevated rocky formations immediately after dismounting—geological barriers impede worm movement better than open terrain.

Character Creation

Customize your character’s appearance without stat considerations—focus on Heritage and Background for narrative customization. Select classes offering immediate combat advantages: Swordmasters excel in melee engagements, Bene Gesserit manipulates battlefield control, while Mentats enhance defensive capabilities before diversifying skill trees.
