Vehicles in-game

Vehicles have a variety of utility purposes, such as swift traversal and cargo transport across the untamed lands of Arrakis, and as such are a vital asset to players looking to venture beyond the beginning stages of the game.

Some vehicles are single-seated, while others are able to carry several players, either inherently or through modifications.

Travelling in a ground vehicle across the open sands attracts sandworms, similar to running or stepping on drum sand. Players must take note of nearby conditions when choosing to cross to another region. Players should also keep a supply of vehicle fuel cells on-hand, as a stalled vehicle can quickly become a beacon for hostile players, hungry sandworms and other dangers.

Vehicles can sustain damage due to natural phenomenon, such as sandstorms, or through damage by both enemies and hostile players, requiring maintenance.

Spice harvesting in large quantities will become available to players through the use of sandcrawlers.

Some vehicles can also be outfitted with weaponry, like rocket launchers.

Customization and Abilities

Vehicles will have plentiful customization options for several different functional components, such as engines, as well as appearance customizations.

Unique schematics for these upgrades can be found in the world, likely at locations like the Ecology-Labs.
