Dune: Awakening – Chapter 3

Most of the improvements and additions in Chapter 3 come directly from player requests and feedback. One of the most popular requests has been providing players with more avenues for progression once they reach tier 6. Chapter 3 aims to deliver on that, providing players with deeper choices and more meaningful ways to advance in both PvE and other playstyles. That's far from an exhaustive list. A massive amount of changes, improvements, and additions make Chapter 3 the biggest update to Dune: Awakening since launch.

Combat also sees several improvements alongside the introduction of the Dual Blades, Pyrocket, and a full Rapier rework. For those who can't wait to see where the main story goes, Chapter 3 picks up where Chapter 2 left off, offering hours more story-driven survival gameplay.

Raiders of the Broken Lands

Releasing at the same time as the free Chapter 3 update is Raiders of the Broken Lands, included at no extra cost in the Season Pass. This DLC responds to one of the biggest player asks: more stuff to build with! This comes in the form of a whopping 73 building pieces and 17 decorations inspired by the Imperium's Smugglers, as well as a dedicated stillsuit set, a light and heavy armor set, weapon variants, swatches, and emotes.
