While there are quite a few different categories and types of weapons inDune: Awakening, some of the rarest items you’re able to find are the unique weapons crafted from schematics found in rare containers around Arrakis.

Overall, these unique weapons are well worth crafting if you manage to track down their schematics, as they’ll give you a proper advantage during yourjourney across Arrakisin search of the Sleeper.

Unique weapons are crafted the same as any other item in Dune: Awakening, but unlike other weapons in the game, their associated schematics are found in rare containers around Arrakis. They will require a bit more looking around and exploring than your primary weapon arsenal, and typically have unique materials required compared to other items. Most significantly, each one willrequire some form of Spice-infused Dust, which can typically be found in Shipwrecks and labs.
Overall, finding unique weapons is a great way to give yourself an upper hand, though finding the schematics and materials needed for them will be a bit more of a challenge than the primary weapons you’ll craft. Unique weapons have special abilities thanks to the Spice infused during crafting, and they are well worth tracking down rare containers whenever possible.
