Starting today, you can experience a little piece of Dune: Awakening in Fortnite.
To celebrate the recent launch of the open world survival game on consoles, Funcom joined forces with the Power Up team at Meta4 Interactive to create a unique Dune: Awakening experience that now makes an appearance in select Fortnite creator islands.
One of the islands where players can get a taste of spice is the highly popular Crazy Red vs. Blue (island code 2898-7886-8847). Over the course of the campaign, millions of players will find a unique Dune: Awakening area featuring three different gameplay mechanics:
- THE SANDWORM: By entering a secret code, players get access to a Thumper that can summon Shai-Hulud himself. Place the Thumper and watch chaos unfold as the sandworm breaches through the ground, eliminating players and destroying structures.
- THE JABAL SPITDART RIFLE: Players can collect one of Dune: Awakening’s most recognizable weapons: the Jabal Spitdart Rifle. Eliminating players with this weapon will see them disintegrate into a cloud of Spice!
- ELIMINATION QUEST: Players can enroll in an elimination quest and rank up through three tiers of Arrakis mastery. Each rank unlocks an item that can be worn on the creator island in Fortnite: the Atreides Scout Hood, the Atreides Scout Helmet, and Gurney Halleck’s Baliset.
Another island where players can enjoy the Dune: Awakening experience is Troll Bedwars (island code 9783-9810-3294). Here, players will find that the familiar lava areas have all turned into sand! The perfect habitat for Shai-Hulud.
The activities will be available for the next several days before being reclaimed by the sands.
