Choosing between House Harkonnen and Atreides feels like one defining moment, but what if you pledge your sword to the wrong banner? Well, fear not as treachery is woven within the harsh world's fabric, and to change sides is not just possible, but it is a calculated gamble with thrilling Arrakis betrayal consequences and high stakes. Here is how you can navigate the perilous path of betrayal. How to betray and change Faction in Dune Awakening ?

Here, the representatives stand ready to hear disloyal whispers. So, approach Maxim Kazmir if you wear the Harkonnen colors but are craving Atreides green and black. But if you are Atreides, who's dreaming of Harkonnen's brutality, seek Lieutenant Tolliver. Dune Awakening - Faction Betrayal Quests To speak to opposite faction representatives would trigger a critical dialogue option—a path of betrayal. Selecting it is not like a simple button press.

Note: Once you confirm your decision, the former faction will mark you as the outcast. Consequences of Faction betrayal in Dune Awakening To betray factions Dune Awakening on Arrakis is not taken lightly. Its consequences are permanent and severe. Once you burn bridges with your faction, you can never rejoin them. Their territories would become a hostile ground for you. If you step foot inside, you must expect lethal force. Any guild that's firmly aligned with your former masters would also instantly repel you, and every active contract that's tied to the faction will vanish—canceled outright. If you are worried about missing exclusive gear, the Arrakeen (Atreides) or the Harko Village (Harkonnen) vendors still sell some cosmetics for the opposing faction. You can get it from them. Remember that betrayal in Dune: Awakening will reshape your world and demand careful strategy regarding where you trend or who you can trust next. It's like a political exile but with a spice-laced silver lining. So, choose wiser or simply embrace chaos. Alternate ways to initiate betrayal in Dune Awakening If main NPCs are not offering a betrayal option, you, for betraying Atreides, can seek out Piter de Vries near the Harko's landing zone. For Harkonnen traitors, you must approach Thufir Hawat in Arrakeen. Their involvement here suggests that faction standing might influence the availability of betrayal. Players with level 2 faction standing could trigger a betrayal at the Anvil Outpost. However, the ones with lower ranks might need some alternate NPCs. While the exact mechanics here are unclear, the thing that's certain is, once you make a switch, you cannot turn back. So, will you embrace treachery, or will you stay loyal to the house? The choice would define your fate in Dune: Awakening. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

How to collect every faction building sets in Dune Awakening
(Image via Funcom) Building a unique stronghold is quite vital for survival within Dune: Awakening's Arrakis. Beyond some basic structures, players could acquire stunning building sets while reflecting upon iconic Harkonnen faction and Atreides faction. To obtain the prestigious blueprints needs dedication. It's a journey of resourcefulness, commitment and proving one's worth to the chosen House. Here is how you can expand the architectural arsenal in Dune: Awakening to have desert dominion. How to join a Faction and unlock a building set? To have access to faction-specific structures is not instant, but one must at first pledge their loyalty. For it, they must visit Vermillius Gap's The Anvil trade post. Here, the representatives from the two factions await. To align with either House Harkonnen or Atreides will start a questline, and to complete the mission proves one's worth. How To Join A House (Faction) In Dune Awakening | House Atreides or Harkonnen Note: You can join the desired faction via the Landstraad system, and initial allegiance will open the door. Your reputation is key. Every task completed by you will boost your standing, and to reach Tier 2 reputation will unlock the faction's construction set. After you achieve it, head to their quartermaster—Atreides in Arrakeen and Harkonnen in Harko, to purchase blueprints for 80,000 Solaris. Pro tip: Complete the faction-specific missions in a diligent manner. The tasks quite often involve travelling across some dangerous regions. Required resource investment for building sets To own blueprints is just half a battle. To construct the faction-themed structures demands the use of an advanced material, Plastone. To craft it, you need some significant resources, including precious Silicon Block, 50 water and 200 Basalt Stone. Remember, to have an efficient gathering of resources is important. Basalt Stone can be found in plenty in the rocky areas, including Eastern Shield Wall. The Silicon Blocks need processing of Flour Sand (prepare yourself for risky harvesting), the late-game challenge (zones). Lastly, Water is always important in Dune Awakening. So, refine the components together in the Ore Refinery. The larger refineries would offer you better yields, making all investments worth it for the ambitious builders. Note: To refine yields will deliver 250 Plastone in every batch. It will be enough to start the construction. Beyond blueprints, maximizing faction's rewards To secure a faction building set will cost 80,000 Solaris. It demands some smart economic play. For it, sell surplus gears, unused base designs or materials at the trading posts. Additionally, pursue some lucrative contracts from the mission boards. Diversify the income streams to be able to afford the architectural luxury. Note: To grind faction missions is not just about the aesthetics. It strengthens the foothold within the political war. After the purchase, your creativity will flourish. Mix and match the Faction pieces with the standard blocks to get some unique bases. Also, experiment with functions and layouts. Use Solido Projector for saving designs and enabling easier relocation/redesign. The base of yours with all will become a powerful symbol of the faction allegiance and personal ingenuity on harsh sands, whether you favour Atreides regal halls or the brutalist fortresses of Harkonnen.

Dune fans overjoyed by latest revelation about third film
The third instalment in the Dune series will reportedly start filming this summer ahead of a reported release date of December 2026. Denis Villeneuve 's epic adaptation of Frank Herbert's influential sci-fi saga has proven to be a huge hit for the director and Warner Bros, with Dune: Part Two earning more than $700m (£555m) worldwide and five Oscar nominations. Although the last film concluded the first novel, Villeneuve has expressed a desire to make the second book, Dune Messiah into a film to wrap up Paul Atreides' character arc. R eports from April 2024 stated that the project was already in development. A name for the film is yet to be confirmed. Deadline now reports that shooting is expected to begin this summer, but June is considered to be too early with a mid-late summer start being seen as more feasible. The film will likely see Zendaya return as Chani. But the production might have to work around her busy 2025 schedule, which includes Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, a fourth Spider-Man film and Euphoria season 3. Shooting locations are yet to be confirmed but the two previous films were made in Hungary, Jordan and Abu Dhabi. Although the information on Dune 3 is thin at the moment, this latest revelation has fans excited. 'Man if Messiah is any good as the previous, it deserves Best Picture,' said one person. Another fan wrote: 'It's still crazy to me that we will have seen three Dune movies in the span of 5 years. I can't wait to see this version of Messiah, likely in Winter 2026 (which is years earlier than I had ever dared expect). This is going to be such a heartbreaking finale to the trilogy.' A third enthusiastic fan added: 'Villeneuve is about to cook again. Give this man unlimited budget and creative freedom!' The second novel is set 12 years after the events of the first book, with Atreides still serving as Emperor of the Known Universe having unleashed the Fremen's deadly jihad on the galaxy, leaving billions dead. Atreides, though, begins to realise that despite his position he has become powerless to stop the excessive religious violence that he has authorised. The novel also sees a bigger role for Paul's sister, Alia, who was briefly played by Anya Taylor-Joy in the previous film. It also curiously sees the return of the previously dead Duncan Idaho, who was played by Jason Momoa in the first film.
