Augments have been added to Dune Awakening as part of the Chapter 3 updates, allowing you to customize your endgame builds by modifying your high-tier gears.
The Augmentation system lets you improve your armor and weapons by increasing their power. However, your enhanced gear parts will have less durability, which makes it a fine balancing act. This guide will provide you with all the required information for you to improve your T6 gear parts.
How to unlock Augments in Dune Awakening
If you’ve just started playing Dune Awakening, there are plenty of hours of content you’ll need to clear. The Augments only work at Mk6 tier (or tier 6), and you’ll need to reach that point by clearing main and side quests. You can add Augments to gear that are at Plastanium-tier only.
- Play the new Challenge Mode testing stations that are repeatable events. Completing them will help you to get various schematics and Augment blueprints.
- You can use the blueprints to craft the Augments with the required resources (more on this later in the guide).
To start earning the schematics and blueprints, you’ll need to participate in the Challenge Mode testing stations. You can find the testing stations on the Overland Map, and they range from difficulty 1 to 100. To get the best rewards, you’ll need to reach Level 40; all levels beyond that point only raise the difficulty.
It’s advisable to play at higher difficulty levels since you’ll have a better chance of getting higher-quality blueprints. All blueprint and schematic rewards are random.
How to craft Augments in Dune Awakening
Once you’ve obtained an Augment blueprint, you can start the crafting process. You can craft exactly one Augment with the blueprint. If you want to craft the same Augment again, you’ll again need to find its blueprint.
To craft, you’ll either need the Advanced Garment Fabricator or the Advanced Weapons Fabricator. If it’s an armor, go for the Garment Fabricator. If it’s for a weapon, go for the Weapons Fabricator. Once the crafting process is complete, you will need an Augmentation Station.
The Augmentation Station can be built with 15 Spice Melange and 75 Plastanium Ingots. The station allows you to slot in augments on any gear/weapon of your choice (as long as they’re eligible).
