During the Dune: Awakening open beta, many players underestimated the role of water in the early game—and paid the price in zones like the Vermillius Gap.
This region offers access to iron-tier crafting and advanced base building, but the resource demands scale up sharply—especially the need for water. It’s not just for survival: you’ll need 75ml of water per steel ingot.
Tip 1: Scale Your Blood-to-Water Production Early
- Place at least 3 blood purifiers and keep them running nonstop
- Always carry blood-bags when heading out
- Build multiple water tanks before you start refining materials
- Upgrade your purifiers when resources allow
Tip 2: Farm Blood Efficiently
- Get Kaleff’s Drinker from the Wreck of the Alcyon in Hagga South
- Each kill with Kaleff’s yields 1000ml of blood
- Use an exsanguination tool to collect an extra 1000ml
- Later, switch to Scipio’s Drinker (20% drop chance from Vermillius North Chest)

Tip 3: Maximize Dew Harvesting
- Always carry literjohns and fill them before returning to base
- Use a dew reaper just before sunrise for peak yield
- In Western Vermillius, get the Buoyant Dew Reaper Mk2 (33% drop from Flatrock Clifftop Chest)
Why This Water Strategy Matters
Once you've stockpiled enough water, you can easily hit the 90 steel mark needed for a wind trap—unleashing passive water generation. From there, you snowball hard, unlocking the ornithopter early and leveling across Hagga Basin effortlessly.
