Explore Dune: Awakening’s Sandworm Rides

While sandworm-riding typically seems like an impossible dream in Dune: Awakening, persistent players willing to endure visual glitches and occasional clipping have proven it's achievable. This isn't an official game mechanic—though developer Funcom reportedly considered implementing it before scrapping the idea—but through meticulous observation of sandworm behaviors and reflexes worthy of an Elden Ring victory, players can mount these legendary creatures. Redditor SgtDolphin recently showcased two successful attempts using specialized techniques: the rapid Bindu Sprint ability, Full Suspensor Belt, and Emperor's Wings gear for aerial control (via PC Gamer). While maintaining balance remains challenging and directional control impossible, Dolphin's footage confirms this improbable feat.

"The animation becomes particularly unstable when interacting with displaced sand," SgtDolphin explained in comment threads. "Countless unsuccessful attempts preceded these rides—worm riding remains an extreme sport!"

Our ongoing Dune: Awakening review remains unfinished. Though we're reserving final judgment, and firearm mechanics currently disappoint, our preliminary assessment notes: "After 35+ hours, I've barely scratched the surface—new regions await exploration, major story arcs remain untouched, and PvP engagements have been minimal. Expect comprehensive coverage later this week as I progress toward endgame content."

The survival MMO has already achieved impressive traction, reaching 117,000 concurrent Steam players at peak. For deeper insights, explore the game's monetization strategy and roadmap.
