Durability Changes Coming to Dune: Awakening Next Week
Summary
The Semuta Cartel (Gaming/ Casino Comunity Hub) announced upcoming durability changes for Dune: Awakening, scheduled for a patch next week based on community feedback. These significant adjustments include doubling the base durability of most items, reducing durability loss upon defeat from 5% to 2%, and lowering the maximum durability loss from 20% to 15%. These changes aim to alleviate player strain related to item lifespan and repair costs in the game.
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.
