Dune Awakening: Ultimate Early Game Loot Route in Hagga Basin South

We're going to cover how to get the best early-game weapons, armor, and items in Hagga Basin South in Dune: Awakening---and more importantly, how to farm them efficiently.

We'll start our farming circuit at Griffin Reach Trade Post, hitting key locations in a loop to farm top-tier gear. You can do this on foot, but having a sand bike, water, and fuel is recommended. Items respawn every 45 minutes.

Dune Awakening: Hagga Basin South Farming Route (Best Drop Spots)

1. Old Griffin Hideaway

Close to Griffin Reach you'll find a schematic for Way of the Fallen, a powerful mauler with:

• 10.4 damage per shot
• 24-round clip
• 1.2s reload time
• 38m range

Low accuracy, but stable and deadly early on. Also, loot other nearby chests. You must be careful when passing through, the entrance to the room with the chest is booby-trapped.

2. Dewgap Gateway

One of the most important kits at the start of the game. Passively accumulates hydration level and protects from heat.

Here, you can get schematics for the full Hollower Stillsuit Set. It has:

• Armor value: 64
• Heat protection: 0.3

Compare that to the Scavenger set's 4 armor---this is a massive upgrade. Gloves drop the most often; boots are rare.

3. Broken Stone Station

You'll find the Aren's Vengeance, a burst-fire battle rifle:

• 7.8 damage per shot
• Fun and powerful early weapon

Also contains Spice-Infused Copper Dust---a rare resource.

4. Keyhole Rock

This spot can drop:

• Old Sparky Mk1 (fast-recharge power pack)
• Sim's Cutter (boosts resource yield)
• Mohandis Sandbike Engine Mk1 (top speed: 93 km/h)

One of the best tech stops on the circuit.

5. Unmarked Cliff Location

Near Keyhole Rock. Climb up to find Hajra Litrejon Mk1, the best early water container:

• Holds 6 water slots
• 1,500 capacity

Easy to access with minimal enemy resistance.

6. Wreck of Osayon

A key quest location. Loot the Kaleff's Drinker Knife:

• Converts blood to water
• 10.9 damage per hit
• Great synergy with stillsuit's armor

7. Unmarked Rock Formation

Next to the shipwreck. Farm this spot to collect the Aren's Light Armor Set:

• Best light armor early-game
• Massive stat boost over basic scavenger armor

No enemies---just grab the loot.

8. Imperial Testing Station

Easy to reach during quests. Grab the Emperor's Wing Mk1, a suspensor belt for short float bursts. Activate by double-jumping.
