A Beginner’s Guide to the Overland Map in Dune: Awakening

[Tonyshuangbai]

The Overland map in Dune: Awakening is where the world truly opens up. After leaving the Hagga Basin using your Ornithopter, you’ll enter a top-down map that allows you to fly to distant areas, including Arrakeen, Harko Village, and the Deep Desert.

Navigating this map is easy once you understand its core mechanics. Movement is click-to-move, with your Ornithopter traveling in real time. But movement isn't free—Fuel is consumed with each flight, and time spent on the Overland map slowly drains your Water reserve.

Fortunately, Fuel and Water deposits are scattered across the map. You can hover over these locations, and your Ornithopter will perform a short landing animation to refill your resources. Simply flying over a deposit won't work—you must stop and land to replenish.

Strategic refueling is vital, especially during long trips or when heading to remote locations like the Deep Desert. Without planning, you could run out of resources and be forced to reroute or risk failure.

Beyond practical concerns, the Overland map also allows for dynamic re-entry into the Hagga Basin. Depending on which direction you fly in from, you'll land in different areas—ideal for optimizing travel time to your base.

Mastering the Overland map is key to making the most of your mobility, exploration, and survival in the harsh world of Dune: Awakening. You can learn more about it now at www.u4gm.com.
