If you’re gearing up to play Lost Harvest, this guide will help you make the most of the Cheap Dune Awakening Solari  DLC: what to prioritize, how to survive, how to extract maximum lore, loot, and fun.

Getting Started: Where & When

  • Make sure you have unlocked sufficient base‑game content (survival tools, mobility, armor) so you can handle environmental hazards and enemies in the testing stations.

  • Completing up to Act 3 in the main story helps for context, especially as Chapter 2 begins right after. Even though Lost Harvest is standalone, doing base‑game missions helps you build your character and gear so you’re not underprepared. 

Key Objectives to Tackle Early

  1. Investigate the Mithra crash site

    • Explore carefully, gather clues. Talk to survivors and scavenge what you can (not just loot, but lore items)

    • Be cautious—there may be hostile NPCs / scavengers in and around the wreckage

  2. Gain access to the Imperial Testing Stations

    • These are major sources of loot and secrets.

    • Bring supplies, healing, possibly group up (if co‑op) for challenging encounters.

    • Prioritize gear and weapons that deal well with mix of ranged and close threats—interiors of stations often lead to close combat.

  3. Craft the Treadwheel early (if feasible)

    • Even though it doesn’t give stat‑advantages, its mobility and animations can make travel more interesting, especially when crossing difficult terrain.

    • Use it to explore base building locations, wreckage, desert paths, maybe to escape quickly from danger.

Exploring for Lore

  • Always check every corner of crashed vehicles, stations, interior rooms.

  • Keep an eye out for environmental storytelling—scorch marks, fallen equipment, survivors’ journals or logs. These often hold the most satisfying lore bits.

  • Revisit areas later in case new clues or mission stages unlock previously inaccessible sections (doors, locked/test chambers, etc.)

Optimizing Loot & Cosmetic Gains

  • Imperial Testing Stations: focus on gear skins, weapons, and rare cosmetic items inside.

  • Base decorations / building pieces: get familiar with what’s available so you can plan your base layout accordingly. Decide if you want a fortress style, a desert outpost style, or something hybrid.

  • Collect emotes (e.g. the Thumper emote) and rare skins early where possible; they tend to show off best when less common.

Base‑Building Tips

  • With the new Dune Man building pieces, consider where shade, windbreaks, or defensible positions would make sense. Even though building doesn’t affect hazards directly, placement (for both aesthetics and convenience) matters.

  • Use the base decorations to tell a story—one corner could be salvaged from the crash, another outfitted like a field lab, etc.

Preparing for Challenges

  • Testing Stations likely have tougher enemies / traps. Bring a well‑rounded loadout.

  • Ensure your mobility is high—vehicles, climbing gear, sprinting, mobility perks all help.

  • Stock supplies—healing, ammunition, survival utilities. Don’t neglect environmental hazards like heat, sand, etc.

How to Blend with the Main Game & Free Update

  • While playing Lost Harvest, don’t ignore what Chapter 2 brings: new customization, the continuation of main plot. The free update may yield gear or resources that benefit your DLC play.

  • If you are a builder or style‑focused, invest in main game base expansion so your new cosmetic items have Dune Awakening Solari for Sale  suitable space.
