Players in the Dune: Awakening community have raised concerns about combat and environmental hazards affecting gameplay. Several reports describe frustrating deaths caused by sandworms during mining activities, with some players losing valuable items and not receiving expected rewards like worm teeth. Melee combat is also under scrutiny, as players struggle with the reliability of heavy attacks, suspecting an unlisted cooldown on slow blade strikes. Additionally, a bug preventing players from mounting their bikes to escape worm attacks has been reported, compounding survival challenges in the harsh desert environment. These issues highlight ongoing challenges in balancing combat mechanics and environmental threats as the game evolves.
- Sandworm attacks cause item loss without expected rewards.
- Melee heavy attacks may have an unlisted cooldown affecting execution.
