Players in Dune: Awakening are voicing frustration over vehicle combat and guild mechanics. Ground vehicles are reported to be extremely fragile, often destroyed within two hits by handheld missile launchers, making their use risky and unappealing. Ornithopter combat also faces criticism, particularly the rocket pods that reduce speed and force pilots to alternate between boosters and rockets, disrupting gameplay flow. The Assault (Medium) Ornithopter is viewed as underpowered compared to other variants. These concerns suggest a pressing need for rebalancing to improve combat dynamics and player experience.
- Ground vehicles destroyed in two hits by handheld missile launchers.
