Hey Sleepers,

We have some exciting news to share! We've been closely following the discussions and feedback regarding durability loss and we wanted to give a heads up that there are big changes coming. We currently plan on releasing a patch next week that will heavily change loss reduction. This will all be in the patch notes once the patch releases, but this is what you can expect:

• The base durability of all items (excluding scrap tier) will be increased by 100%, effectively doubling their lifespan. This should help with high-value items like power packs, suspensor belts, and compactors.
• Durability loss upon defeat is being reduced from 5% down to 2%, which will assist with alleviating strain on durability when tackling more difficult enemies or content.
• We are decreasing the maximum durability loss from 20% to 15%. So, for example, repairing an item from 0 to max will get you to 85% instead of 80%.

We recognize that there are other areas where improvements can be made, but we are constantly monitoring your feedback and changes like these are a direct result of your input. The Dune: Awakening team is still working full steam ahead on the ongoing development of the game and will continue to make adjustments and changes when necessary to make Arrakis a better place to survive.

New weapons. New bosses. New ways to survive. 🗡️

Enjoying the changes? Let us know by leaving a review on Steam! It helps new players understand what the game offers and supports continued development.

The servers are coming back online and patch notes for 1.3.0.1 Hotfix are available.

FIXES
- Fixed a crash that could happen if a specific placeable was in a base backed up before the Chapter 3 update, and the player unholstered the Base Reconstruction Tool after the update.
- Fixed an issue where players could end up blocked in the story if they missed the “Investigate the suboid corpse” step in the Extinguishing the Flames Journey.
- This fix does not address the issue retroactively for those who experienced it before this version was released. A retroactive fix will be included in the next hotfix, to be released as soon as possible.

Developer Update – November 2025 » Dune: Awakening

It’s time for another update from the dunes. In our last post, we covered several major improvements coming in the next patches, along with early details

The servers are coming back online and patch notes for 1.2.20.4 Hotfix are available.

Fixes

• Reverted a change introduced in 1.2.20.0 to NPC melee behavior. This change addressed an issue where some NPCs were not dashing out correctly after a slow blade attack penetrated their shield. This occurred when the attacker was using a short blade, regardless of the NPC’s stamina level.
• While this is an intended change that aligns with our goal of making enemy NPCs behave more like players who adhere to the same combat engagement rules, without other balance adjustments they might not be as enjoyable for everyone as we’d like.
• We understand that some of you who enjoyed the new behavior might be disappointed and we can’t wait to bring it back along with the rest of the balance changes we have in store at a later date.

Hey everyone,

In patch 1.2.20.0, some undocumented changes were made that adjusted the behavior of the enemy NPCs, causing them to dash out of the way of attacks and abilities much more often. While this is an intended change that aligns with our goal of making enemy NPCs behave more like players who adhere to the same combat engagement rules, we will revert it early this week.

These are some of the exciting combat changes our team is working on, but without other balance adjustments, they might not be as enjoyable for everyone as we’d like. We understand that some of you who enjoyed the new behavior might be disappointed and we can’t wait to bring it back along with the rest of the balance changes we have in store at a later date!

Thanks for all your feedback. Please keep it coming!

The servers are coming back online and patch notes for 1.2.20.3 Hotfix are available.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the large spice fields were missing in the Deep Desert.
• Fixed an issue where the “Secrets of the Past" and "Once Upon a Time" contracts during the Lost Harvest journey could’ve been affected by a recent bug that contracts that were not completed were removed from the character.
• Elara will now reissue these two contracts.
• Note: The new dialogue lines are in English only in the hotfix. Localization for these will come at a later date.
