In the world of Dune Awakening, there are very special creatures that pose a great threat to players: Worms. These huge Worms, although very scary in appearance, are not deadly everywhere. Understanding their behavior and survival mechanisms can help you effectively avoid danger.

This article will provide an in-depth analysis of Worms' attack methods and how to avoid falling into their death traps, helping players better cope with this challenge.Dune Awakening Worms Attacks: How To Avoid?

Real Threat Of Worms

Many players generally believe that Worms are instantly fatal as soon as they appear. There are even rumors that Worms will crush you into sand powder as soon as they look at you.

Actually, this view is somewhat misunderstood. After a long period of experimentation and observation, we can find that Worms do not pose a threat to players in every state.

Especially when they are in the roaming state, they will not actively attack the player unless the player is in a special situation, such as being injured or touching some special traps.

This is very important because it shows that Worms attacks don't occur at any time or anywhere, but are triggered only under certain conditions. Understanding the triggering mechanism of Worms attacks can mitigate the threat they pose to us, so there is no need to panic.

Worms' Aggro Mechanics And Warning Signs

Worms' attacks don't usually come without warning. When you enter a sandworm's aggro range, the system will alert you through multiple audio signals. These signals include a change in background music and a crackling sound similar to the sound of worms approaching the surface of water.

These audio cues can be quite noticeable when you're out in the open in the desert, especially when Worms are in aggression, but in some situations, such as when Worms go underground on an island, you might miss these warnings.

In addition, more importantly, Worms usually have one or two warning animations before launching an attack. During the animation, the game will display its position on the map with a red compass icon to remind players that it is entering an aggression state.

How To Deal With Worms' Attacks?

Once a worm enters its aggressive state, the player's survival is threatened. To avoid being attacked, the most effective way is to quickly move away from the sand and observe the visual indicator on the screen. When the indicator disappears, it means the worm is no longer attacking you.

In some special terrains, such as Hagga Basin or Deep Desert, a Worm's aggression state may have a 30-second buffer time, which you can use to continue completing tasks and earn Dune Awakening Solari.

In Deep Desert, worms may remain in the aggression state for 20 to 40 seconds, while in Hagga Basin, once the indicator disappears, the worms will re-enter the aggression state. Therefore, it is safest to wait patiently for the indicator to disappear.

However, when Worms are about to eat, the threat to the player will be greater. Worms' eating animations are divided into two types: vertical and horizontal.

Typically, vertical feeding is used for large objects such as vehicles, spacecraft, and slammers, while horizontal feeding is primarily used to attack players.

When a Worm begins feeding horizontally, it will aim directly at the player, dealing fatal damage quickly. To avoid this, the player should avoid approaching Worm while it is feeding horizontally. If you can't avoid Worms, your best bet is to get away from the area in time, or find cover before the feeding animation begins.

Emergencies And Survival Skills

Another worrying characteristic of Worms is that they can suddenly appear near you, usually when they jump back to the ground. If the player happens to be standing under a Worm at this time, they will be crushed to death.

In addition, if the player's perspective shifts at this time, we may not be able to react in time and miss the opportunity to escape. To avoid this, the player should remain calm and try to adjust the perspective upwards so that the camera will follow the character and avoid entering the underground perspective. Ornithopter selection options will then reappear, allowing the player to quickly escape.

In short, although Dune Awakening Worms may seem like a deadly threat, their attacks are not without warning. Knowing their attack states and attack methods can greatly increase your chances of survival.

The correct response is to remain calm, recognize the warning signs promptly and stay away from the sand to avoid direct contact with the sandworms' feeding areas.

If you are still very anxious about the worm's attack, it is recommended that you improve your reaction ability by practicing surviving the worm's aggression state.

After all, fear is often just a psychological pressure in the game, and the real danger is the unnecessary panic caused by not understanding the mechanism.
