The Public Test for Dune: Awakening has a new build – the team has released the Public Test Client: Patch 1.2.0.0, which includes a second chapter, a character recustomizer, a new weapon, vehicle updates, and several quality-of-life fixes. I’ll walk through the highlights and drop the verbatim test notes below.
The update allows players to continue the main story with a new journey called ‘The Great Convention’, and it introduces base management tweaks, including the ability to rename placeables and vehicles, an auto-run toggle, and a new Adept Missile Launcher. There are also cosmetic options available in social hubs, as well as increased storage for certain vehicles. For the full list, please refer to the public test patch notes on duneawakening.com.
Patch Notes 1.2.0.0 Notes
Public Test Client: Patch 1.2.0.0
Welcome to chapter 2, Sleepers!
At least for the Public Testing Client! Before we push this to the live client, we’d love your thoughts and feedback on many of the additions and changes made with this large patch. Besides the main story chapter, we added new dynamic encounters, the ability to recustomize your character’s appearance, and many quality of life changes you can see right below. This patch, of course, also includes a multitude of bug fixes and improvements.
Happy reading and testing!
Highlights
- Introduced new journey storyline, ‘The Great Convention’. Continue the main story directly after the events of ‘Find the Fremen’ and ‘The Assassins Handbook’. Remember your mission. Wake the Sleeper, find the Fremen!
- Added renaming functionality in the Placeables and Vehicles menu for players to be able to organize their bases better.
- Implemented auto-run toggle which automatically moves character/vehicle forward.
- Completing the Advanced Trainer Contracts now rewards an exclusive armor set specific to each trainer, together with a customization item that allows other armors of the same type to be styled accordingly. Players that have already completed these contracts will get these armor sets retroactively.
- Added a new weapon, the Adept Missile Launcher! More on on this under the “Combat” header.
- Storage capacity for the Assault Ornithopters has been increased.
- Character Recustomizer: There is a new Recustomizer room in each Social hub (Harko Village and Arrakeen City) where you can pay to have your appearance altered. It also includes 4 new hairstyles, new tattoos, and new tattoo tinting and custom colors.
