Explore known glitches and exploits in Dune: Awakening, from disease outbreaks to avoiding automated endings. Learn how to navigate these game quirks.
Hey there, fellow Arrakis explorer! So, you're curious about some of the weird stuff that can happen in Dune: Awakening, huh? It's a harsh planet, and sometimes the game throws some curveballs that aren't quite intentional. Let's dive into a few of these quirks that players have stumbled upon. Think of these less as bugs and more as... interesting planetary phenomena!
Disease Outbreaks and Uncured Troops:
Ever feel like the universe is just piling on? Imagine this: you've got a bunch of spice harvesters and ornithopters working across the planet, and then BAM!

The Disappearing Blue Fort:
This one's a bit strange. Players have reported a blue fort just vanishing from the map. The weird part is, you might have had a troop captured there, and then after you defeat another fortress, the rest of the fortresses (including the one that seemed to disappear) just clear up. It's like the game momentarily forgot a piece of the map existed!
Keeping Duke Leto Alive (Sort Of):
Here's a neat trick to mess with the game's narrative flow. You know that scenario where your father, Duke Leto, sends you on an expedition? You can actually skip it. When Gurney Halleck is training your troops, you'll get a vision from your father asking you to come to the palace because
