If confrontation isn’t your strategy, explore the rocky terrain surrounding the scavenger outposts. Numerous metal fragments lie scattered across these slopes, providing sufficient resources without needing combat. After gathering 65 units, return to craft the Maula Pistol and ammunition to advance your mission objectives.

Northwest of your initial position after escaping the Sandworm, you’ll discover abandoned encampments filled with scrap materials. Hostile scavengers patrol these zones – defeat them to access storage containers holding valuable metal components. Environmental structures can also be harvested using specialized cutting tools for additional yields.

Early progression in Dune Awakening requires strategic resource gathering after obtaining basic gear. The “Getting Equipped” quest introduces essential crafting mechanics, demanding players collect 65 Salvaged Metal for weapon development. While the objective seems unclear initially, material sources prove abundant near survival camps established on Arrakis.

New survivors must prioritize scavenging operations following their worm escape sequence. Zantara’s mission upgrades your arsenal through this critical phase, transitioning players from melee combat to ranged capabilities via crafted firearms.
