Dune: Awakening is an open-world action-survival MMO game scheduled for release on PC on June 10th. It is easier to survive on the desolate Arrakis with friends than to fight alone, and it will be more fun to explore.
However, it must be said that this game is more linear in the early stages than most current survival sandbox games, and there are many settings and requirements in multiplayer games. So this guide will show you how to play multiplayer in Dune: Awakening so that you can survive together.
To play multiplayer, you need to first open the social menu at the bottom of any menu, which can be found on the map or inventory screen. Then fill in your friend’s character or account name in the search bar provided by the player tab on this screen in the upper left corner of the screen.
Once the search results appear, send a friend request and wait for it to be accepted. After successfully becoming friends, you can select the player on your friends list and invite him/her to explore with you through Invite button next to him/her.
Other players can also invite you to join other teams through this method. You need to hold down Enter key before the timer ends or accept the other party’s team or friend request through the social menu. In addition, you can also manage your friends’ list through Players tab, such as setting their permissions and levels in the team.
It is worth noting that if you encounter problems with teaming or searching for friends or no results, please check whether you are on the same server. When you team up with other players, their locations will be marked on the map, making them easier to find.
Once you’ve identified your party members, you can manage the permissions they have: raising or lowering them to control how much they can access in the game, which requires you to go into the social menu and make adjustments accordingly.
But if you want to change the permissions they have for loot you’ve acquired together, such as chests, you’ll need to interact with the character they own and adjust it in General Settings tab. Normally, the players you’re partying with are set to associates, who can’t add or remove players from your party.
Also, associates can’t use most of the base-building features, such as opening containers or using vehicles. But if you specifically lower the permissions of this player, they won’t even have permission to open some doors, which is very useful if you’re trapped in a building with someone you don’t trust when exploring together.
Of course, if you’re partying with a good friend you know in real life, you can raise them to co-owners, which gives them the ability to add or remove party members and interact with all the items in the base. However, co-owners cannot level up or down the rest of the players, so if you are the one setting up the party, you have a lot of autonomy.
The following are the access permissions each member has on the team.
Actually, the fact that a group makes exploring easier is just one advantage of Dune Awakening. Another advantage is that it makes trading between players easier to achieve. In face-to-face trading, whether it is exchanging items for items or exchanging items for Dune Awakening Solari, it is very convenient.
To trade, you need to hold down the Interact key to look at the player you are trading with, and then complete the operation by selecting an appropriate trade option. From here, you can place any item in your inventory, and then throw the item or Solari to the ground when both players agree to complete the transaction.
From the information provided in the current closed beta, Dune: Awakening may not support cross-platform teaming, and only PC version has announced the official release date.
Although the developer promised to launch this game on Xbox and PS5, the console version may need to be launched at an unspecified time in the future.
But it is still worth looking forward to, because it has become a trend for MMO games to add cross-platform linkage and couch cooperation functions. After all, it is more fun to complete exploration with friends!
The above are the steps to set up multiplayer exploration in Dune Awakening and the precautions you need to pay attention to. I hope this can help you quickly understand the deployment of multiplayer functions in this game with a very deep background story, so that you can get started faster when entering the game. I wish you a happy game!
