Understanding the Landsraad in Dune: Awakening
In Dune: Awakening, the Landsraad adds a unique layer to the game’s faction-based warfare. It's not just about combat — it’s about control, strategy, and teamwork. If you're new to the Landsraad, this guide will walk you through how it works, what rewards you can earn, and how your actions directly impact your faction's success.
Before participating, you’ll need to join a faction and complete a short quest chain. Once you’re aligned, you can help your house dominate in weekly competitions for rewards, cosmetics, and bonuses.
Joining a Faction and Starting Landsraad Quests
To begin, head to the Anvil Outpost in Eastern Vermilius. You’ll see two key NPCs — one representing House Atreides and the other representing House Harkonnen. Pick a side by completing their initial quests. These missions are pretty simple and just help you reach Reputation Level 2 with that house.
⚠️ Important: Once you commit to one house, switching later will count as betrayal. Stick with your choice if you’re looking to engage seriously in the Landsraad.
Guild Alignment and the Landsraad Menu
Your personal alignment isn’t the only thing that matters. If you’re part of a guild, it also needs to align with your chosen house. If you’re the guild leader, open the Social Tab, find the Landsraad option in the bottom-left corner, and set the faction alignment.
📌 Heads-up: Any guild member currently aligned with the opposite house will automatically be kicked out once your guild commits.
How the Weekly Tasks Work
Once your alignment is locked in, you’ll get access to weekly Landsraad tasks. At the start of every week, the board resets. Then, each evening, four or more tiles light up — each representing a Lesser House task. These assignments vary but generally include:
-
Defeating specific enemies
-
Delivering crafted materials
-
Supplying rare items like plastium or spice mange
-
Turning in fully-built vehicles
You’ll drop off all items at your faction’s Haga Basin military base, with Atreides on the left side of the map and Harkonnen on the right.
Earning Points and Claiming Tiles
Each completed task contributes points to your faction’s score on that tile. When your side hits 70,000 points, the tile becomes “claimed.” Every turn-in and objective matters, especially if you're aiming to win more tiles by week’s end.
The more tiles you claim, the higher your chance of winning the Landsraad — but we’ll get into that shortly.
Controlling PvP Points in the Deep Desert
Another key part of the system involves PvP control points. After tasks go live for a tile, you can hunt down that lesser house’s unique PvP location hidden in the deep desert. Only one of these exists per house, and their position resets weekly.
If you control the spot, your faction earns 10 points per minute. Since items for some tasks can be expensive or scarce, many players focus on PvP control instead.
This leads to some serious fighting when both sides want those free point gains instead of spending rare materials.
Winning the Landsraad: Tiles or Bingo Line
There are two ways to win the Landsraad for your faction:
-
Claiming the Most Tiles: Straightforward — earn and lock down more tiles than the other faction by week's end.
-
Bingo-Style Line Victory: If your faction claims a straight line of connected tiles (like bingo), it results in an instant win, even if you have fewer tiles overall.
This adds a strategic element beyond just brute-forcing tile control — you’ll need coordination and planning to outmaneuver the other side.
Voting for Faction-Wide Bonuses
When the week ends, the winning faction gets to vote on one of three random bonuses for the upcoming week. These can range from combat buffs to access to exclusive vendors offering rare crafting recipes.
Your guild’s contribution to the lesser house tiles determines your voting power. So even if one guild does the heavy lifting, other groups can still sway the outcome by pooling their votes.
Unlocking Personal Rewards for Contributions
Aside from helping your faction, you’ll also get individual rewards based on how much you contribute. Once you reach 14,000 personal points for a specific tile, that lesser house will reward you with their exclusive armor color swatch.
This unlocks a new color option for your gear, giving you more ways to customize your look. For those into cosmetics and personal flair, this is one of the most exciting reasons to participate weekly.
Just keep in mind: these rewards are per tile, so you’ll need to focus on the same house’s objectives to rack up enough points.
Where to Turn in Items and Claim Rewards
After reaching 14,000 points, you’ll need to visit the lesser house's representative NPC to claim your armor swatch. These characters are spread across Haga Basin, and their positions include:
-
Arken Town
-
Harko Village
-
PvE zones in the Deep Desert
Their icons refresh weekly, but as of now, their actual locations don’t change. You’ll recognize them on the map once you know what to look for.
Even if you don’t turn in during peak hours, the system still counts your contributions toward personal and faction goals.
Bribing Lesser Houses: A Risky Advantage
There’s one more strategic layer to consider: bribery. Some of the lesser house NPCs allow you to bribe them for 300 spice malage. Doing this unlocks their tile instantly for your faction.
It’s a costly move, but it provides two big benefits:
-
Your faction can start scoring points before anyone else, building an early lead.
-
If timed outside of peak hours, your guild might even claim the 14,000-point cosmetic before anyone notices the tile is live.
However, it’s a gamble — you’ll be using up rare resources and need strong coordination to make the bribe pay off.
Final Thoughts on the Landsraad System
The Landsraad is one of the most involved and rewarding mechanics in Dune: Awakening. Whether you're looking to flex your PvP skills, contribute crafted goods, or unlock rare cosmetics, there’s something here for every kind of player.
Just remember:
-
Choose and stick to your faction early.
-
Align your guild if you're a leader.
-
Focus on tasks and control points that suit your group’s strengths.
-
And don’t forget to claim your rewards before the weekly reset.
Conclusion
The Landsraad system in Dune: Awakening adds more than just faction PvP — it delivers weekly goals, individual rewards, and strategic depth. Whether you're capturing control points, turning in supplies, or coordinating a guild-wide effort, your actions have a direct impact on your house’s success.
Remember to stay aligned, contribute consistently, and look for those chances to tip the scales in your favor — especially through PvP zones or even well-timed bribes. With enough teamwork and effort, you’ll not only help your faction win, but earn exclusive cosmetics and unlock powerful bonuses along the way.
