Traversing the expansive deserts of Arrakis in Dune Awakening isn’t an easy affair. It’s challenging to walk long distances on the map, as the desert heat is harsh and sandworms are always lurking. The most important thing you need to navigate this world, is a sandbike. A great guide below on how to unlock this important vehicle will keep the players occupied.
Dune Awakening features a Sandbike quest that’s embedded in the storyline. It’s located in the South Hagga Basin, starting area of the game. You can find this opportunity at the end of this zone, during A New Beginning quest. The Across the Gap mission comes at a crucial moment after conquering the Wreck of the Alcyon, in Bermuda. Before constructing the Sandbike, it’s important to research Sandbike Mk1 Assembly.
Crafting the Sandbike Components
To build a Sandbike you will need to assemble various things starting from the Welding Torch Mk1 and some Welding Wire. Once you have these, you can start building the core parts of your vehicle – Chassis, Hull, Engine, PSU and 3 Treads. To create these components, you will need 43 Copper Ingots, 6 Particle Capacitors, and 13 Advanced Servoks. It requires some effort to gather these materials, but they are vital to the build.
Assembling and Fueling the Vehicle
After crafting and carrying all the parts, players must go to an open space by holding their Welding Torch. In the game, a Sandbike outline shall be displayed indicating the positions of each of its parts, in addition, yellow markers will indicate the missing parts. The powered-up Sandbike requires a Small Vehicle Fuel Cell after fitting all the parts. You can find these fuel cells while looting in the game’s open world. Players can use an Inventory or Backseat on the bike for added utility, depending on their style of play.
Protecting Your Sandbike
Sandstorms can be very damaging for the Sandbike. So, making a Vehicle Backup Tool is a great choice of research. It lets players park the Sandbike securely, allowing it to be transported without being damaged. With it handy, the vehicle is always ready to roll.
