I’ve pulled off a lot of cool stunts in games over the years, but nothing quite compares to what happened last night in Dune: Awakening. I had to cross a massive stretch of open desert to get to a crashed shuttle I’d spotted from a ridge. I knew there’d be high-level loot. I also knew it meant walking across worm territory Dune Awakening Items.

So I came up with a plan. No gadgets. No noise. Just me, the sand, and a prayer.

First step? Gear check. I turned off every piece of tech I had that could attract attention — including shields and my levitation rig. I switched to a lightweight loadout to move faster on foot and crouch longer without burning stamina.

Next, I plotted a route from rock to rock. Using my scope, I scanned the landscape and marked patches of solid ground. It was like setting up lily pads across a lake — only the water could kill you at any moment.

Then came the approach. I moved slowly, crouching, carefully stepping over drumsand whenever I spotted it. Every time I saw the vibration meter start to climb, I stopped and let it drop. It felt like defusing a bomb.

Halfway through, the meter spiked — too high. I had to sprint for the next rocky outcrop. That’s when the Sandworm showed up, and it was CLOSE.

I didn’t panic. I didn’t look back. I bolted straight for the rocks. The worm’s roar echoed behind me, the sand shaking like an earthquake. Just as I reached the edge of the rocks, I hit my grapple hook — and it yanked me to safety.

The worm stopped just short, twisting in fury before diving back under.

Moments like that are why I play this game. The tension. The planning. The reward of making it through when the odds are stacked against you.

Dune: Awakening turns every desert crossing into an adventure. And when you learn to master the silence, to move like the sands demand, it’s one of the most satisfying feelings in gaming Cheapest Dune Awakening Solari.
