In Dune Awakening, survival hinges on mastering specialized equipment within Arrakis’s unforgiving environment. Among these tools, the Respawn Beacon proves indispensable by letting players designate respawn locations. This device becomes accessible during the ‘The Attitude of the Knife’ mission, where you’ll need to study its design before deployment.

Below, we break down the beacon’s mechanics, from crafting to strategic implementation.

Crafting the Respawn Beacon

To acquire this item, first unlock its blueprint by spending 1 Intel Point in the Research interface. Production requires 20x Salvaged Metal, obtainable from Scavenger Camps in mountainous zones. Use any Fabricator (Personal, General, or Survival) to assemble it once materials are gathered.

Strategic Deployment Tips

Assign the beacon to your inventory, then place it at strategic locations to streamline recovery after death. Prioritize high-traffic danger zones like contested Outposts, as this minimizes time spent retrieving gear. Note that only one active beacon exists per player—new placements override previous ones automatically.
