Dune: Awakeningis a pretty polished game, especially for an MMO in which a multitude of different things can go wrong. It’s got its issues,but they mostly involve design decisions like PvPandthe lack of PvE stuff in the endgame. On the bugs and glitches front, it’s pretty smooth sailing, but one particular issue has popped up recently that is separating players from their beloved ornithopters.
First shared on the Dune: Awakening subreddit by a user called Qreyon, they explain that they lost their ornithopter to the void after completing the epilogue mission ‘An End To Many Things’. If you haven’t undertaken it yet, it’s essentially a mission that requires you to have an ornithopter to complete, as you’ll need to fly to a certain area.
Dune: Awakening’s Epilogue Mission Is Stealing Ornithopters From Players
Unfortunately, the same mission will teleport you away from the place you flew your ornithopter to, and since you require an ornithopter to get there, it means your little vehicle is now lost to the void, and you’re then forced to build a new one. Given that it takes a considerable amount of effort to actually get an ornithopter, and the mission could potentially dump you nowhere near your base, it’s quite frankly amazing that this oversight made it into the game at all.
It seems to be a pretty common problem too,as many are reporting not being able to find their vehicles, despite it still existing when using the vehicle scanner. Thankfully, it appears that Funcom is aware of the problem, as it has been included onthe developer’s list of “known issues” that are being addressed. We have no idea when it will be fixed, but at least we know Funcom is on it.
For now, there is a workaround that was pointed out by a user called Kashinoda. When you reach the part of the mission that has you upstairs in the bar in Arrakeen, you’ll then watch a cutscene with two other characters. After this, fly your ornithopter back to Haga, and then you can use a trader to teleport to Harko Village. It’s a pain in the neck, but it will keep your ornithopter safe until Funcom fixes the problem.
