Introduction to Duneborn

Duneborn is an open-world survival and extraction game set in a brutal, post-apocalyptic desert. The game challenges players to scavenge, survive, and fight for resources against a backdrop of extreme environmental hazards. It can be played entirely solo, following your own journey, or on shared servers where you'll encounter other players.

In this unforgiving world, gasoline and scrap are more valuable than life itself. The desert is ruled by Raiders, colossal mutated creatures, and hostile convoys, all vying for territory and resources. Beyond these dangers, the environment itself poses a constant threat with extreme heat, toxic dust, and violent sandstorms, making every decision a test of survival.

Your Vehicle: Your Lifeline

Your vehicle is paramount to your survival in Duneborn; it's more than just transportation. It functions as your mobile shelter, support, storage, workshop, and your last line of defense. Keeping your vehicle close is essential, as venturing too far without it can be costly, and losing it can mean the end of an incursion.

  • Customization and Upgrades: You can customize and upgrade parts of your combat vehicle, improving its performance, durability, and mobility to better handle the brutal terrain, sandstorms, and ambushes.
  • Vehicle Inventory: Your vehicle has its own inventory, allowing you to store loot gathered from the map.
  • Vehicle Weaponry: Vehicles are equipped with guns, but remember that you'll need to craft the ammunition for them.
  • Extraction: When extracting from a zone, it is crucial to pull your vehicle inside the extraction container. Failing to do so will result in the loss of everything stored inside the vehicle, including upgrades. If your vehicle's health is low or it needs fuel, extracting is often the best course of action.
