How to Repair Vehicles, Items, and Buildings in Dune: Awakening – Complete Repair Guide

In Dune: Awakening, equipment durability matters. Whether it’s your weapon, armor, vehicle, or base, everything degrades with use or damage. This guide will show you how to repair vehicles, gear, and structures so you’re always ready for survival on Arrakis.

How the Repair System Works

Every item in Dune: Awakening—including weapons, tools, armor, vehicles, and buildings—has a durability rating. Once it reaches zero, the item becomes unusable or inoperative until repaired.

There are three main repair categories:

  • Personal items (weapons, tools, armor)
  • Vehicles (ornithopters, harvesters)
  • Structures (doors, crafting stations, walls)

How to Repair Weapons, Tools, and Armor

Method 1: Use a Repair Station

  1. Go to any base or outpost with a Repair Station. These are available in safe zones and player-built bases.
  2. Interact with the station.
  3. Drag your damaged gear into the repair slot.
  4. Use required materials (often metal scraps, repair kits, or adhesives) to complete the repair.

Method 2: Use a Field Repair Kit (On the Go)

  • Craft or purchase Field Repair Kits from vendors or fabricators.
  • Open your inventory and right-click the kit to repair an equipped item.
  • Field kits are limited and only work on certain item types.

Tip: Don’t wait until durability hits zero—early repairs cost fewer materials.

How to Repair Vehicles (Ornithopter, Spice Harvester)

Required Items:

  • Welding Tool
  • Welding Wire or Repair Nanogel (varies by vehicle tier)

Steps to Repair:

  1. Approach the damaged vehicle.
  2. Equip the Welding Tool (crafted at a Fabricator or bought from a vendor).
  3. Aim at the vehicle and begin the repair process.
  4. Use the appropriate consumables to restore full health.

Note: Some vehicles require you to return them to a vehicle pad or garage to initiate advanced repairs or refueling.

Pro Tip: Keep spare repair materials in your thopter cargo—especially in the Deep Desert.

How to Repair Buildings and Base Structures

What You Need:

  • Construction Tool (used for building and repairs)
  • Base materials like stone, alloy, resin, or wiring

Steps:

  1. Equip your Construction Tool.
  2. Aim at the damaged structure (wall, station, door, etc.).
  3. Choose the “Repair” option from the radial menu or UI prompt.
  4. Confirm the repair and spend the required resources.

If the structure is badly damaged, repairs may cost more or require rare components.

How to Check Durability

  • Weapons and Armor: Hover over the item in your inventory.
  • Vehicles: Health/damage status is visible in the vehicle HUD or maintenance menu.
  • Buildings: Look for cracks, smoke, or UI damage indicators when inspected with the Construction Tool.

Preventing Unnecessary Repairs

  • Avoid overusing tools or weapons—swap gear to spread out wear.
  • Land vehicles on solid terrain to avoid landing damage.
  • Don’t leave bases exposed in PvP zones—reinforce walls and place traps.
  • Use higher-quality materials to extend durability.
