How To Get and Use Thumper in Dune Awakening

Thumpers are one of the most important tools every player should carry in Dune Awakening, allowing you to effectively counter the Sandworms.

Surviving the harsh desertlands in Dune Awakening is no easy task. Beyond the scorching heat and hostile enemies, the greatest danger comes from the Sandworms. These massive creatures are extremely powerful and can instantly kill you, causing you to lose all your resources. Since you cannot kill the Sandworms, escaping them is the only option.

Using the right equipment and devising proper strategies is essential for escaping the Sandworms. The Thumper is a special device specifically designed to counter Sandworm encounters by distracting them. Here is a complete guide on how to obtain and use them effectively in Dune Awakening.

How To Get Thumper in Dune Awakening

To craft a Thumper, you must first unlock its schematic, just like with any other tool. You can find the Thumper schematic under the Steel Products section. You can unlock and craft Thumper after completing The Fifth Trial of Aql. To craft a Thumper, you need the following materials:

Water (35): Collected using Dew Reaper, Blood Purifier, and Windtraps.
Steel Ingot (5): Refined at Ore Refinery using Carbon Ore, Iron Ingot, and Water.
EMF Generator (4): Obtained from chests inside the caves.

The Thumpers are used to lure or distract Sandworms. To use the device, equip it and place it anywhere in the open desert. It will cause high vibration and attract Sandworms. The Sandworms will then emerge from the sand and devour the Thumpers. Using Thumpers to distract Sandworms can be highly effective when you aim to farm Flour Sand or Spice in open deserts, providing a brief window to gather the resources and leave the spot.
