Vehicles in Dune Awakening need to be built and assembled at your base or shelter. Vehicle parts can be unlocked using Intel Points in the Research Menu. To unlock a vehicle, you will need its Schematic Kit to craft parts for it. For instance, unlocking the Mk1 Sandcrawler Assembly will allow you to craft the components of that specific vehicle.

Once you have the correct resources and have unlocked the specific Schematic Kit, you can assemble the vehicle with a welding torch. The welding torch is a special tool used to create, repair, and disassemble vehicles.

After assembling the vehicles with a welding torch, you’ll also need vehicle fuel cells from a chemical finery. These fuel cells are used to power your vehicles through the desert.

Vehicle Grades and Repairs in Dune Awakening

A vehicle’s grade determines its quality and performance. You will unlock new Schematic Kits with higher-grade parts as you progress through the Research Menu. Higher-grade schematics will require rarer resources and typically have better stats. You can also mix and match parts to create a complete design with unique stats.

As you travel through Arrakis, your vehicles will slowly degrade in quality. If your vehicle takes damage, the quality will degrade further, and smoke will rise from it. To repair it, you’ll need a welding torch and some type of Welding Wire, the special ammunition used to repair your vehicles. You can fire your welding torch at the damaged vehicle component to repair it. This reduces the durability of the repaired component. Welding Wire with higher stats will help lower durability degradation over time.

The Scout Ornithopter is also known as the Light Ornithopter. This vehicle is the lightest and smallest of all flying vehicles in Dune Awakening. Light Ornithopters can only carry one person across great distances. The aircraft might not be ideal for combat due to its mediocre armor and limited weapons. However, its speed allows it to evade opponents easily.

Assault Ornithopter
