Getting Started With the Trooper Class
To begin unlocking the Trooper skill tree in Dune: Awakening, you need access to the Trooper class itself. If it’s not available yet, head straight to the Griffin’s Reach trade post—this is the first hub area you'll encounter early in the game.
Look for an NPC named Mr. Guani. He might take a few extra dialogue clicks, so make sure to exhaust every conversation option. After that, he’ll give you a short mission to complete. The objective is simple: eliminate three nearby bandits to the east.
Head out from Griffin’s Reach toward a marked cave, clear the enemies, then return to Mr. Guani. Once turned in, this mission unlocks your Level 1 Trooper skills.
Why You’ll Want to Wait for the Ornithopter
Before you go further down the Trooper path, consider progressing far enough in the game to unlock the Ornithopter. While it’s technically possible to continue by spending Salari (credits) to fast-travel, you’ll end up losing a lot of money if you don’t have the Ornithopter yet.
Here’s why: you'll be traveling across zones frequently—from Anvil Base to the eastern map zones and back again. Without an Ornithopter, each trip can cost 2,500 Salari, which adds up quickly. You’ll also lose time due to detours around quicksand and long paths between points.
TL;DR: Wait until your Ornithopter is unlocked. It saves time, money, and headaches.
How to Use the World Map Efficiently
Once your Ornithopter is ready, fly toward the edge of the map. Look for shimmering effects—they’ll prompt the game to ask if you want to open the World Map. This won’t consume fuel or damage your aircraft, so don’t worry about those resources.
You’ll now see several regions around the Hager Basin, which includes the Arken settlement—your key destination for accessing the advanced Trooper trainer.
Pro Tip: Avoid entering through radiated zones unless you have a suit. Choose one of the cleaner zones for a smoother ride.
Locating the Trooper Advanced Trainer
Once inside the Arken area, navigate toward the staircase at the rear section of the map. From there, loop around to the left until you reach a box positioned at the bottom.
An NPC—typically a blonde-haired Trooper woman—will be standing nearby. This is your Trooper advanced trainer. You’ll likely get a short cutscene or interaction to confirm her role.
Tracking Trainer Quests
If no quest marker appears, don’t panic. Open your Journey tab, go to Contracts, and scroll to the section labeled Arken Settlement Quests. Selecting the active contract will update your HUD with a blue pin marker that shows where to go next.
These missions are pretty straightforward, so you won’t need a full walkthrough for each one. Just keep an eye on your quest log and follow the updated objectives.
Tips Before Starting Advanced Trooper Missions
Before diving into the next phase of missions, here are a few things that’ll make life easier:
-
Radiation Suit (Optional): One zone requires it. Some players manage without, but better safe than sorry.
-
Hand Scanner (Required): At some point, you’ll need to scan a cache. If you don’t have one on you, you’ll be forced to fly back to base, losing time and money.
-
Inventory Space: Free up space. You’ll loot resources and gear during the missions.
Skill Usage and Final Unlock Phase
Toward the end of the Trooper quest chain, there’s a section where you’re required to use several of your unlocked Trooper skills. This is essentially a mini-tutorial designed to test your understanding of the abilities.
Complete this stage and you'll finish the entire Trooper progression path. That means full access to all powers in the Trooper skill tree, making your character much more powerful and ready for the deeper game content.
Why Trooper Progression is Worth It Early
Unlocking the full Trooper class skill set gives you:
-
Stronger combat abilities
-
Access to late-game mechanics earlier
-
Significant XP gains (700+ per mission)
-
Multiple skill points you can invest as you grow
This progression is ideal before you venture into the Deep Desert—a high-stakes zone with tougher enemies and better rewards. Having a full skill loadout makes survival and success more likely.

Conclusion
Unlocking the full Trooper skill set in Dune Awakening sets you up for success in tougher zones and deeper gameplay.

This method saves both time and in-game currency while maximizing your XP and power early on.
