What is New in the Dune: Awakening Chapter 3 Update?

This update is a direct response to community feedback, focusing heavily on expanding what happens after you reach Tier 6. Whether you are a solo survivor or part of a massive guild, Chapter 3 introduces systems designed to give you meaningful goals and deeper choices.

A New Endgame & Rebuilt Landsraad System

The Landsraad system has been completely rebuilt to offer more diverse ways to progress and earn rewards. This rework ensures that both PvP and PvE players have a stake in the political and economic landscape of Arrakis. Faction ranks have been extended, providing a longer tail of progression that rewards dedicated service to the Great Houses.

New Weapons, Map Expansions & Progression Loops

Chapter 3 isn’t just about politics; it’s about survival. Two major new progression loops, Specialization and Augmentations, have been introduced. These systems work together to allow for highly customized character builds, letting you fine-tune your playstyle like never before.

The update also expands the arsenal and the world itself:

• New Weapons: Wield the explosive Pyrorocket or slice through enemies with the Dual Blades. The Rapier has also received a significant rework to improve its combat viability.
• Map Expansion: The overland map has grown, featuring unique testing stations and new locations to explore.
• Boss Encounters: Face off in repeatable, scaling boss encounters that offer increasingly valuable loot for those brave enough to challenge them.
• Story Continuation: Pick up right where Chapter 2 left off with hours of new story-driven content.

The Raiders of the Broken Lands DLC

Releasing alongside the free update is the Raiders of the Broken Lands DLC. Included in the Season Pass or available separately, this pack addresses one of the biggest requests from the community: more building variety.

Embrace the life of a smuggler with this extensive content pack, which includes:

• Smuggler Building Set: 74 new pieces to construct hideouts that fit the rugged aesthetic of the deep desert.
• Smuggler Decorations: 17 new items to clutter and detail your base.
• Smuggler Armor Sets: 3 distinct armor sets to look the part.
• Weapon Variants: 2 new smuggler-themed weapon skins.
• Vehicle Skin: A Raider skin for your buggy.
• Extras: Exclusive smuggler swatches and emotes.

Conquer the Dune: Awakening Chapter 3 Update

There is no better time to dive back into Arrakis. The expanded map and intense new boss encounters demand a smooth, lag-free experience, especially when you are coordinating with your guild to dominate the rebuilt Landsraad system. Whether you are testing out the new Pyrocket or building a smuggler’s den with your guild, a private server gives you the control you need to survive on your own terms.
