Plus, its sleek design combines futurism with practicality—a must-have for your adventures!
As an avid gamer who understands the ins and outs of crafting in survival games, I can guide you through acquiring your first Sandbike with ease. Let’s dive right in!
How to Acquire Your First Sandbike in Dune Awakening
Your most straightforward path to a Sandbike is by following the main questline. The initial hours of gameplay are packed with tutorial missions, culminating in a crucial quest that teaches you how to craft your Sandbike.
This quest, titled ‘Across the Gap,’ requires you to infiltrate Imperial Testing Station #2 to loot crafting materials essential for the Sandbike recipe. You’ll also need to research the Sandbike Mk1 schematics as part of this journey.
After you complete your resource hunting, you can return to your base and fabricate the necessary components using a Fabricator. In addition to the Particle Capacitors you gathered, you’ll need Advanced Servoks and a considerable amount of Copper Ore. Here’s a breakdown of the Sandbike’s components and their crafting needs:
- 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 Servoks (x3 needed for three Treads)
Copper is readily available in the Hagga Basin region, where you’ll find plenty of deposits. To convert Copper Ore into Copper Ingots, you’ll need to use an Ore Refinery.
The best way to gather the Advanced Servoks and Particle Capacitors is to revisit the Imperial Testing Station. Just wait about 45 minutes in real-time for the chests to reset. Repeat this as often as needed to collect sufficient materials.
Once you’ve crafted all Sandbike components, you need to create a Welding Torch to assemble them. This requires 6 Copper Ingots. Additionally, establish a Small Chemical Refinery to produce Fuel Cells for your vehicle, which will need 45 Copper Ingots. If you’re low on resources, you can use any fuel cells you might have scavenged earlier. With everything in place, you’re finally ready to take your Sandbike for a ride.
Tips and Tricks for Your Sandbike in Dune Awakening
Now that your Sandbike is ready, you’re free to explore the vast landscapes. To enhance your experience and protect your vehicle, consider these handy tips:
- Craft a Vehicle Backup Tool: This tool allows you to park and summon your vehicle anytime, preventing permanent loss if you’re consumed by a Sandworm or caught in a storm.
- Repair Your Sandbike: Over time, wear and tear will occur. Use the Fabricator to create Welding Wire, then equip your Welding Torch to repair any damaged parts.
- Add a Seat for Your Friend: Want to ride with a buddy? Craft the Sandbike Inventory Mk1 and Backseat Mk1, each requiring 12 Copper Ingots and 7 Advanced Servoks.
- Customize Its Color: With your Welding Torch, access the ‘Customize’ option to change the bike’s appearance using various color palettes.
- Install the Sandbike Scanner: This useful addition allows you to search for resources on the go, enhancing your treasure hunting.
