In Dune: Awakening, vehicles like buggies can drastically speed up exploration and resource gathering. What many players don't realize is that you can get a fully functioning buggy --- complete with upgrades like a mining laser --- without ever unlocking the recipe. Here's how to do it efficiently.
Skip the Tech Tree --- Yes, Really
Despite what the tech tree suggests, owning a buggy doesn't require you to research or craft one from scratch. Salvaging and looting are the keys here. You can build and repair a buggy using scavenged parts and a bit of clever exploration.
Where to Find a Buggy
While Science Station 10 has a buggy you can disassemble, it's isolated and not ideal due to the long travel time and high difficulty. Instead, head north to Eastern Shield Wall, near Helas Gate. This area features an outpost with a garage where a buggy can be driven out directly --- no blueprint required.
There's also a fuel cell canister nearby, which can sometimes drop fuel, giving you a double win.
Looting Buggy Parts
Nearby outpost camps are treasure troves. Loot large chests for a chance to find engines, boosters, storage modules, and occasionally even mining lasers. These parts can be assembled into a fully operational buggy --- even if you don't know the crafting recipes. If some parts are missing, head to villages like Arrakeen or Harko and buy them with Solari.
Assembly and Repairs
The main chassis and frame usually don't need replacing. Focus on acquiring an engine and wheels --- affordable parts that can be purchased if not found. Wheels cost around 6,000 Solari each, while engines are roughly 26,000.
For maintenance, use welding wire with repair tools to keep the buggy in good condition. Mining lasers can be paired with a storage module, enabling auto-deposit and streamlining your resource collection.

Efficient Farming Strategy
Build a temporary base with respawn beacons near the Eastern Shield Wall outpost. This allows you to respawn and re-loot every 40 minutes. Just make sure to store valuables in chests before dying or force-respawning, as inventory durability is affected.
