How to Get Your First Sandbike in Dune Awakening

Hey, gamers! 🎮 Are you ready to zoom across the expansive deserts of Arrakis in Dune Awakening? If you’ve just started your adventure, getting a Sandbike should be at the top of your to-do list! This super cool three-wheeled vehicle lets you race over dunes, escape from big Sandworms, and explore new areas. Plus, it looks awesome! Let’s dive into how you can get your very own Sandbike.

1. Follow the Main Quest

To kick things off, the easiest way to grab a Sandbike is by sticking to the main missions in the game. Early on, you’ll go through some tutorial tasks that teach you the basics. One of the last quests in this intro phase is called “Across the Gap.” In this mission, you’ll head to something called the Imperial Testing Station #2. There, you’ll search for items needed to make the Sandbike.

Make sure to pay attention to the Sandbike Mk1 schematics you’ll collect. These blueprints show you how to craft your vehicle!

2. Gather What You Need

Once you’ve completed the mission, you can head back to your base to start putting the Sandbike together. Here are the parts you’ll need to create:

• Sandbike Chassis Mk1: 12 Copper Ingots, 5 Advanced Servoks
• Sandbike Engine Mk1: 5 Copper Ingots, 3 Particle Capacitors
• Sandbike Hull Mk1: 12 Copper Ingots, 5 Advanced Servoks
• Sandbike PSU Mk1: 5 Copper Ingots, 3 Particle Capacitors
• Sandbike Tread Mk1: 3 Copper Ingots, 1 Advanced Servok (x3 since you’ll need three Treads)

You can find Copper Ore pretty easily in the Hagga Basin region, usually lying around on the ground or in big rocks. Once you’ve collected five pieces of Copper Ore, you can turn them into Copper Ingots at an Ore Refinery.

3. Collect More Items

To find the Advanced Servoks and Particle Capacitors, you’ll want to revisit the Imperial Testing Station. You’ll need to wait about 45 minutes in real-time for the chests to reset before you can loot them again.

4. Time to Assemble

Once you have all your parts, you will need a Welding Torch to assemble your Sandbike. This requires 6 Copper Ingots. Plus, you’ll want to create a Small Chemical Refinery to make the Fuel Cells to power your vehicle. That’ll take 45 Copper Ingots.

If you’re low on resources, no worries! You might have collected fuel cells during your earlier missions.

And just like that, you’re ready to ride your Sandbike!

Tips and Tricks for Your Sandbike Adventure

Now that you have your Sandbike, here are some fun tips to get the most out of your ride:
