The Arrakis depicted in this survival MMO offers a starkly altered reality. Without Paul Atreides’ influence, rampant warfare consumes rival factions while the enigmatic Fremen remain mysteriously absent. Though recognizable through its environmental hazards, this version amplifies the desert’s lethality to frightening new extremes.

Despite these narrative shifts, the planet maintains its core identity. Blistering heat still ravages unprepared travelers, combatants remain perpetually battle-ready, and colossal sandworms patrol the dunes. Among these existential challenges, surprise sinkholes of shifting sand pose perhaps the greatest immediate threat to survival.

This guide addresses one of Arrakis’ deadliest environmental hazards – mobile sands capable of immobilizing and crushing both player and vehicle. We’ll explore effective countermeasures to these deadly traps, crucial knowledge given the game’s punitive death system involving permanent item loss.

Surviving Mobile Sand Hazards

When confronting granular traps, decisive actions prevent catastrophic losses:

• Immediately evacuate any sinking transport – mechanical weight accelerates submersion rates
• Activate Shigawire Claw tech upon personal entrapment for rapid vertical extraction
• Deploy Vehicle Retrieval Systems promptly to salvage equipment before complete engulfment
