Gadgets

Gadgets are a specified type of gear, usable for committing actions otherwise undoable, or allowing their execution in the first place. Dune: Awakening will implement many gadgets to help with mundane tasks and combat.

Holtzman effect based gadgets

Holtzman effect is a theory, from which a lot of Dune's technology derives, allowing the negating the effects of gravity, foldspace and even shields.

Suspensor

Suspensors are gadgets used to lessen the effects of gravity on an object, wearing a Holtzman field generator. They can be used to slow down fall, and even fly upwards (possibly for the cost of power consumption).

Shields

Shields are a big part of the Dune universe, as such they will be omnipresent. Shields will allow you to mitigate (probably) all incoming ranged damage and will effectively force melee combat. Maintaining a running shield requires power.

Shigawire

Shigawire is a very strong, natural thread from vines growing on a few planets.

Shigawire Claw

Shigawire Claw seems to function as a typical "grappling hook" allowing you to move to high ground quicker.

Other

This section contains gadgets without closer specification.

Hunter-Seeker

Hunter-Seeker is a tadpole-like, remotely controlled tool, used commonly for assassinating high-standing individuals. It requires an operator at close range and can only hardly recognize its target requiring its movement for recognizing it. Although this exact disadvantage seems fixed in the world of Dune: Awakening.

Dewreaper

Dewreaper is a tool used for extracting plant moisture.
