- **added** — Five new Landsraad missions across Hagga Basin and Smuggler's Run
- **changed** — Improved visibility during Coriolis build-up in Hagga Basin by removing wind particles, increasing buildup duration, and decreasing fog density in the final hour
- **changed** — Made cargo containers heavier to prevent being easily pushed around by other vehicles
- **changed** — Players are now pushed off ornithopters at higher speeds while remaining able to stand on them at lower speeds
- **changed** — UNSTUCK menu feature now teleports players to the start location inside Overland map dungeons instead of finding the closest valid spot

Greetings Sleepers.

We have a large patch full of tweaks, fixes, and additions, including five new Landsraad missions! Thanks to those who sent in feedback and reports; we’ll continue to monitor those along with this patch.

:handshake: – denotes changes made based on player feedback.

Changes implemented during the Public Test Client testing are marked in blue.

For the list of known issues, please visit our[ Discord server](https://discord.gg/DuneAwakening) or [Steam discussion boards](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1172710/discussions/0/595150966093809034/?snr=1_2108_9__2107).

##### Highlights

- Five new Landsraad missions across Hagga Basin and Smuggler’s Run!

- Improved visibility during Coriolis build-up in Hagga Basin. Wind particles were removed, and the buildup duration was increased. For the final hour of the storm build-up, the fog density was decreased.

- Made the cargo container heavier so that it is not easily pushed around by other vehicles.

- Players are now pushed off ornithopters at higher speeds. Standing on a flying vehicle enabled unintended combat tactics, particularly in PvP. You can still stand on ornithopters at lower speeds.

- The UNSTUCK menu feature will now work differently inside Overland map dungeons by teleporting the player to the start location. Outside of overland map dungeons the behavior will be the same as before - it will attempt to find the closest valid spot and teleport the player to that location.

- **added** — New cosmetic rewards added for Anniversary Event including 'Contemplation Tea House' decoration set and 'Master Operative of the Dunes' light armor
- **added** — New main menu notification to highlight Anniversary Event information
- **added** — Option to change the static IP or DHCP setting after setup for self-hosted servers
- **added** — Proper polling for Start/Stop battlegroup operations so stop finishes when the battlegroup is fully stopped and start fires after all services are ready
- **added** — Ability to set the IP Battlegroups advertise for players to join with auto-refresh for public IP options across battlegroup start/restart
- **added** — Option to change the battlegroup's broadcasted IP after setup with logic moved inside the VM for Linux usage
- **added** — Director options in battlegroup edit to adjust settings like 'Minimum Servers' for each map with settings persisting through battlegroup restarts
- **fixed** — Fixed in-game event notifications to correctly display players' local time zone
- **fixed** — In-game event notifications no longer triggered on map change and on every login
- **fixed** — Fixed issue where DHCP would update the IP to a different one even when a VM used a static IP, breaking connections

Hey Sleepers,

This hotfix requires a client-side download. Remember to restart your Steam client if the download does not appear automatically for you. Servers will be coming back up shortly.

For the list of known issues, please visit our[ Discord server](https://discord.gg/DuneAwakening) or [Steam discussion boards](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1172710/discussions/0/595150966093809034/?snr=1_2108_9__2107).

##### Features and Changes

- New cosmetic rewards added for Anniversary Event. Happy first anniversary!

- ‘Contemplation Tea House’ decoration set

- ‘Master Operative of the Dunes’ light armor

- Implemented a new main menu notification to highlight Anniversary Event information.

- Self-hosted server improvements:

- Added an option to change the static IP or DHCP setting after setup.

- Added proper polling for Start/Stop battlegroup operations, so now stop only finishes when the battlegroup is fully stopped, and start only fires after all services are ready. This is needed as the IP change requires a VM reboot, and a proper battlegroup shutdown is required.

- Fixed an issue where sometimes DHCP would update the IP to a different one, even when a VM used a static IP, breaking connections.

- You can now set the IP Battlegroups to advertise for players to join. Before, it was only available during setup. If a public IP option is picked, the IP will also be auto-refreshed across battlegroup start/restart.

- Added an option to change the battlegroup's broadcasted IP after setup, and moved the logic inside the VM for usage within Linux.

- The battlegroup edit has now options for the director so that users can adjust settings like "Minimum Servers" for each map, and the adjusted settings will persist with battlegroup restarts.

##### Fixes

- Fixed in-game event notifications to correctly display players' local time zone.

- In-game event notifications are no longer triggered on map change and on every login.

- **added** — Five new Landsraad missions in The Wind Pass with unique rewards
- **added** — New boss Dr. Jalanta with unique mechanics in The Old Quarry Testing Station
- **added** — Self-hosting capability for Dune: Awakening battlegroups on player machines with customizable server settings

- **changed** — PvP is now fully optional, allowing players to customize the balance of PvE and PvP on their servers

Greetings Sleepers,

The new **Update 1.4** is officially available. This update introduces **two new locations** and **new Landsraad missions**. In addition, the **Water Wars DLC** launches today, adding Water Shipper–themed building pieces and cosmetics.

##### The Wind Pass

Once a Harkonnen tech hub, the Wind Pass is now controlled by the Water Shippers and serves as a key center of Arrakis’ water trade. This location also brings **five new Landsraad missions** with unique rewards.

##### The Old Quarry Testing Station

A scalable new Testing Station where players will face **Dr. Jalanta**, a devious new boss with her own set of unique mechanics, hidden deep within her secret laboratory.

##### Self-Hosting Now an Option

Players can now **self**‑**host Dune: Awakening battlegroups** on their own machines and customize their experience. Hosts can adjust various settings through configuration files to tailor server behavior. Among a myriad of other settings you can tweak, you can also adjust the balance of PvE and PvP, even making your server fully PvE or PvE if you prefer. This feature is still an early iteration and will continue to evolve.

##### PVP Now Optional

Approaching the one‑year anniversary, the game has received more than 15 updates — including the recent change making **PvP fully optional**, giving players full control over how they experience Arrakis.

##### Bigger Things to Come

Update 1.4 is not a Chapter update. It’s a smaller release while the team continues work on major upcoming content. Beyond the recently discussed **Polar Cap map**, even more is in development: new features, new content, and the continuation of the main story.

##### Sale and Community Event (May 22nd - June 1st)

To celebrate the launch of Update 1.4, **Dune: Awakening is 40% off on Steam**, bringing the price below $30 / €30. Funcom is also launching the **Community Challenge: Secrets of the Water Shippers**, challenging players to complete **The Old Quarry **as many times as possible. If all milestones are hit, there are two unique weapon variants to unlock: the **Vivisectionists Bone Saw**, and the **Asteroid Harvester Maula** Pistol.

##### Water Wars DLC

Also available today, the **Water Wars DLC** adds Water Shipper–inspired building pieces and cosmetics based on the dynasty that dominates Arrakis’ water economy. This DLC completes the **Season Pass**, included in the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions. Price: **$9.99**, or included in the **Season Pass ($24.99 / €24.99)**.

The Water Wars DLC contains:

- Water Shippers Building Set (52 pieces)

- Water Shippers Decoration Set (18 pieces)

- Water Shippers Stillsuit Variant Set

- Water Shippers Light Armor Variant Set

- Water Shippers Heavy Armor Variant Set

- Water Shippers Weapon Variants

- 1 x Melee

- 1 x Ranged

- Water Shippers Scout Ornithopter Variant

- Water Shippers Swatch

- Water Shippers 2 x Emotes

Update 1.4 is free for all players. The Water Wars DLC is priced at $9.99 or included as part of the Season Pass ($24.99 / €24.99).

Greetings, Sleepers!

Update 1.4 is here to give you the opportunity to check out and provide feedback before it’s pushed to the live client. To reiterate, this is a smaller update rather than a whole chapter update; there is more story content, new locations, new features, and even a whole new map coming in the future so stay tuned for more on that!

To assist you with testing, don’t forget to take advantage of the Progression Unlock Panel (only available in the PTC) where aside from getting resources and gear, XP and unlocking Journey chapters, you can unlock faction ranks and crafting materials.

Please note this is still a Work in Progress build and as a result you may found placeholder text and assets in it. This will be polished during the PTC period.

Learn more about our Public Test Clients and how they work (https://funcom.helpshift.com/hc/en/4-dune-awakening/faq/69-dune-awakening-public-test-client/). The best place to discuss the PTC is the relevant [Steam Discussion Board](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1172710/discussions/5/) and our [PTC Discussion server on Discord](https://discord.gg/jBeXuGSvev).

##### Highlights

- **NEW** Overland Map locations:

- **The Wind Pass:** Once a Harkonnen tech hub, now a key point in Arrakis’ water trade under the control of the Water Shippers.

- **The Old Quarry Testing Station**: Players will confront the morally questionable scientist Dr. Jalanta, operating from a hidden laboratory.

- **NEW** The first iteration of Self-hosting Servers is now available for testing!

- Self-hosting is a way to host Dune Awakening world on your own machines and connect to them. Hosts will be able to tweak various settings in configuration files to change the behavior of the game servers to their liking.

- You can read the full technical documentation on how to set up a self-hosted server in [our blog post](https://duneawakening.com/self-hosted-servers/).

- Fixed an issue where players who betrayed their faction at rank 20 would have to replay faction content for their new faction.

- New location: The Ruins of Tsimpo - A ruined village which once held important strategic value during the War of Assassins. Since then, Tsimpo has been considered a haunted place, with those who venture there to plunder returning to speak of ghosts and madness.

- Five new Landsraad missions tied to the Ruins of Tsimpo (one per specialization) have been added.

- Adjusted PvP damage dealt to vehicles and structures to better handle the increased damage output from high grade weapons and augments.

- Items with a durability higher than 100 due to having Crafting Specialization will now show that they have improved durability.

- Changed Landsraad end time to be 5 minutes before the Coriolis apex, so that there is almost no downtime to when Landsraad missions can be played.

- This also means that voting and the previously elected decree last until 5 minutes before Coriolis reset.

- A new Battle Rifle variant, which was unlocked as a stretch goal during the Raiders of the Lost Stations global community challenge, is now available.

- Log in to the game between March 25 and April 25, 2026, to automatically receive it in your customization menu.
