If you ever wonder why your suspensor belts break so frequently when you're out and about, this guide is for you. Through careful testing, we've discovered and tested all belts available in the game, and how to best preserve their durability.
When using your suspensor belt, tapping it on is significantly more efficient for preserving your belt's lifespan. Always 'tap' over 'hold' your belt on your way down when trying to slow your descent - this way your belt will serve you longer!

Comparing Suspensor Belt Types
Dune: Awakening features several distinct suspensor belt types, each with unique characteristics and optimal use cases. Understanding these differences is crucial for maximizing your mobility and belt durability on Arrakis.
Passive Belt (Automatic)
The passive belt activates automatically when you reach fall-damage speeds. While convenient, it has major drawbacks:
- No manual control means it always performs held descents (worst for durability)
- Can be used for "climb gliding" (jumping and gliding between wall grabs)
- Dangerous at heights as it drains power continuously until landing
Planar & Responsive Belts
These specialised belts offer precise control but come with tactical limitations:
- Completely stop your momentum when activated
- Hold you vertically in mid air, letting you move left and right
- Allow repositioning after stabilisation
- Responsive version offers faster movement than Planar
- Not recommended for PvP due to making you an easy target (holding you still mid-air)

Leap Belt (Best All-Around)
The leap belt strikes the perfect balance between functionality and natural movement:
- Helps break falls while being affected by gravity
- Assists with upward jumps
- Doesn't freeze you in place like Responsive and Planar
- Provides the most natural movement feel (feels like jumping in low gravity)
Full Belt (Momentum Conservation)
The full belt is designed for advanced traversal and maximum distance coverage:
- Maintains any existing momentum perfectly
- Can keep momentum at the apex of the jump and keep pushing you up
- Provides strongest height/distance boosts, best for shigawiring around the map
- Still helps slow descents
Pro Tips for Belt Use
Master these techniques to maximize your suspensor belt's effectiveness and longevity:

- Always feather-tap instead of holding - this alone will dramatically reduce repair frequency
- For climbing, use brief activations between wall grabs
- The Leap Belt offers the best balance of utility and durability
- Avoid unnecessary midair hovering in combat situations
Remember: The key to suspensor longevity is in the taps, not the holds!
