Verticality and dangerous terrain are ever-present in the game Dune: Awakening. High cliffs, ravines, architecture, and other hazards present numerous opportunities for players to suffer severe injury—or even death—from falling. The developers have given players a few tools and abilities to prevent such outcomes, though. Here in this article, we'll discuss the key methods of preventing fall damage in Dune: Awakening.

Use a Suspensor Belt

The most reliable way to avoid fall-related injuries is by equipping a Suspensor Belt. For example, the Leap Suspensor Belt allows you to slow your descent and land safely, even from great heights. The belt activates automatically when you approach the ground and absorbs all potential damage. It's especially useful when exploring mountainous areas or escaping combat situations.

Keep in mind: the belt must be charged and undamaged to function. It can be upgraded or repaired using the appropriate equipment.

Utilize the Shigawire Claw

The Shigawire Claw is an ability which allows you to attach yourself to surfaces at a distance or pull yourself toward an aiming point. If you trigger the ability when about to land on the ground, the whole impact would stop and save your health. This ability is highly useful for players opting for the Trooper class since they get to deploy this technology.

his method requires some practice, as timing is crucial. But once you master the skill, you’ll be able to save yourself from nearly any height.

Grab Walls While Falling

Another method to avoid injury is by grabbing a vertical surface during your fall. If there’s a nearby wall or ledge, try pressing the jump key as you approach it. In most cases, your character can grab the edge and either slow the fall or stop it completely.

This technique doesn’t require any extra equipment, but it does demand attentiveness and good coordination. It’s ideal for emergency situations where other tools are unavailable or broken.

Falling From Vehicles

When descending on ground transport like an ornithopter or sandbike, an excellent drop won't kill your character but rather harms the transport you are on. This system can be used when you decide to safely descend but don't have access to a Suspensor Belt or even a Shigawire Claw.

However, keep in mind that repairing the vehicle after a fall can be costly or time-consuming, so this method is best reserved for emergencies.
