In Dune: Awakening, your base is more than just shelter-it's a reflection of your allegiance, your survival strategy, and your status on Arrakis. One of the most sought-after customizations is the Harkonnen Building Set, which allows you to transform your base into a brutalist fortress straight from the halls of Giedi Prime. Here's how to unlock it and what you need to watch out for along the way.

Why Building Sets Matter in Dune: Awakening

Building sets not only define the look of your base but also broadcast your faction allegiance. While flaunting your Harkonnen pride might paint a target on your back in neutral or enemy zones like the Deep Desert, it also gives your allies a strong signal of loyalty, and it just looks badass.

Step-by-Step Guide to Unlocking the Harkonnen Building Set

1. Align Yourself with House Harkonnen

To access any faction-specific content, including Building Sets, you must formally join House Harkonnen. Here's how:

·Travel to The Anvil Trade Post, located in the Vermillius Gap.

·Speak with the Harkonnen recruiter NPC.

·Complete the initiation quest chain. These quests often require combat and Dune Awakening Items gathering, so make sure you've got decent gear and a functional Sandbike to cross the desert quickly.

Once you finish the recruitment quests, you'll gain full faction membership and unlock access to Harkonnen faction vendors.

2. Visit Faction Vendors in Arrakeen, Harkonnenno

With your loyalty pledged, head to one of the following cities:

·Arrakeen - Visit the Scrap Trader.

·Harko - Speak to the Weapons Vendor.

These NPCs will now recognize you as Harkonnen and allow you to buy Dune Awakening Items, including the Harkonnen Building Set.

3. Purchase the Harkonnen Building Set

·Cost: 80,000 Solari

·Materials Required: Various structural pieces will also need Plastone, a common but essential building material.

This is a non-refundable investment, so make sure you're committed to the Harkonnen cause before you shell out your hard-earned currency.

Tip: To earn Solari quickly, focus on Faction Contracts, spice trading, and corpse processing via the Fremen Deathstill at your base.

4. (Optional) Buy Both Building Sets

If you're a completionist or just want the option to switch aesthetics later, it is possible to obtain both the Atreides and Harkonnen Building Sets.

·You must first switch allegiances, which comes with penalties (cooldown timers, loss of some faction perks).

·After switching, you can buy the other set from the same vendors.

·Again, Plastone is required to construct either style.

Final Notes on Building

·Stockpile Resources: Before starting construction, ensure you have enough Plastone, Water, and Power to support your build.

·Design Strategically: Aesthetics aside, your base should serve your survival. Reinforce high-traffic zones, install security measures, and leave space for essential crafting stations.

·Defend Your Territory: Faction-aligned bases can become targets in PvP zones. Prepare accordingly.
