Dune Awakening update 1.3.5.0 introduces combat balance adjustments, vendor changes, and multiple gameplay fixes across vehicles, dungeons, and user interface systems. Dungeon bosses now resist slowing effects, energy weapon mitigation has been increased in overmap dungeons, and the Dueling Ring vendor has seen significant pricing changes.
