In the treacherous deserts of Dune Awakening, power often comes in the form of rare and devastating equipment. Among the most coveted Uniques in the game, The Ancient Way stands tall as a Plastanium-tier Unique Heavy Weapon, offering unmatched explosive firepower at mid-range. However, acquiring this weapon is no simple feat-it requires careful planning, patience, and the support of your faction. Here's everything you need to know to get The Ancient Way in Dune Awakening.

How to Get The Ancient Way Unique

The only known method to obtain The Ancient Way is by purchasing it from the Landsraad Weapons Vendor. This vendor is only accessible under specific conditions, and competition is fierce.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Join a Faction (House): You must be aligned with a faction to participate in the weekly Landsraad event.

2. Win the Landsraad: Only the winning faction in the weekly Landsraad event can summon the Landsraad Weapons Vendor.

3. Wait for Vendor Summon: Once your faction wins, ensure that the faction leadership summons the Weapons Vendor instead of another vendor type.

4. Buy the Weapon: With the vendor summoned, you can buy Dune Awakening Items, The Ancient Way for 160,000 Solari.

Note: You cannot access this vendor unless you're in the winning faction. While switching factions is possible, it comes with penalties and restrictions, so it's not a viable shortcut.

The Ancient Way - Crafting Components (if schematic becomes available)

While the current version of the game only allows you to buy The Ancient Way directly, data suggests that a crafting schematic may be released in a future update. If that happens, you'll need the following resources to craft it:

·Plastanium Ingot x70

·Mechanical Parts x26

·Silicone Block x47

·Plasteel Composite Gun Parts x24

·Precision Range Finder x6

·Spice Melange x62

·Spice-infused Plastanium Dust x10

·Water x520 ml

·Crafting Time: 15.0 seconds

·Required Workbench: Advanced Weapon Fabricator

If you're already crafting Plastanium-tier equipment, you should already have the Advanced Weapon Fabricator, which supports 40+ other high-end recipes.

The Ancient Way Unique - Weapon Stats and Performance

·Type: Unique Heavy Weapon (Missile Launcher)

·Damage (per shot): 919.3

·Fire Rate: 84

·Clip Size: 1

·Reload Time: 3.5 seconds

·Effective Range: 150 meters

·Accuracy: 0.65

Tracking Yes (Guided Missiles)

Despite having a single-shot clip, The Ancient Way excels at burst damage, especially against large, high-health targets. Its tracking missile system ensures it's deadly even with relatively low accuracy. The reload time is long, but the massive damage compensates for it in PvE and PvP.

Is The Ancient Way Worth It?

Absolutely-if you can get it. The Ancient Way is one of the most powerful mid-range weapons in Dune Awakening. While its utility in close quarters or long-range is limited, it shines in large battles, siege scenarios, and boss encounters.

However, its high cost and the requirement of being in the winning faction make it a rare trophy weapon that many players will only see in screenshots or kill feeds-unless they're part of a dominant House.

Tips for Obtaining The Ancient Way

·Coordinate with your House: Ensure your faction leadership understands the benefits of the Landsraad Weapons Vendor and prioritizes its summon.

·Save your Solari early: 160,000 Dune Awakening Solari is a steep price, so be prepared with your funds in advance.

·Farm PvP and PvE zones: Accumulate crafting materials and wealth through events, Wrecks, and bounties.

·Check faction wins: Monitor weekly Landsraad standings to plan your purchasing window.

Conclusion

The Ancient Way is one of Dune Awakening's rarest and most devastating weapons, blending high raw power with tracking missiles that devastate mid-range targets. With Plastanium-tier stats and a price tag to match, it's a status symbol and combat powerhouse rolled into one. If your faction wins the Landsraad, don't miss the chance to get it-and hold on tight, because others will try to take it from you.
