I’ve been wandering the deserts of Arrakis in Dune: Awakening for a while now, and let me tell you, survival here is no joke. The heat, the sandstorms, the constant need for water—it’s a lot to handle. One piece of gear that’s been a lifesaver for me is the Scavenger Stillsuit. It’s a Fremen-designed armor set that helps you endure the planet’s brutal conditions, and I’m here to break down everything you need to craft it and what it offers in terms of stats. Let’s dive into the details with some handy tables to make your crafting journey smoother.
The Scavenger Stillsuit is a full set of armor that includes a mask, body, gloves, and boots. Each piece needs specific components to craft, and the game points you toward caves as the main spot to gather them. The Fremen really knew what they were doing with this suit—copper fittings help with the distillation process, so you lose less water while exploring. Here’s what you’ll need to craft each piece, and what kind of protection you’ll get once it’s done.
Crafting the Scavenger Stillsuit: Components Needed
To craft the Scavenger Stillsuit, you’ll need to hunt down resources, mostly from caves as the game suggests. I’ve put together a table below that lists the components required for each piece of the stillsuit, along with a total for the whole set so you know what to gather.
| Stillsuit Piece | Micro-Sandwich Fabric (Required) | Plant Fiber (Required) | Fabricated With |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scavenger Stillsuit Mask | 1 | 3 | Garment Fabricator |
| Scavenger Stillsuit Body | 1 | 3 | Garment Fabricator |
| Scavenger Stillsuit Gloves | 1 | 3 | Garment Fabricator |
| Scavenger Stillsuit Boots | 1 | 3 | Garment Fabricator |
| Total Required | 4 | 12 | – |
Each piece of the Scavenger Stillsuit requires 1 Micro-Sandwich Fabric and 3 Plant Fiber, so for the full set, you’ll need 4 Micro-Sandwich Fabric and 12 Plant Fiber in total. You’ll also need a Garment Fabricator to craft these, so make sure you’ve got one set up at your base. Gathering these resources is pretty straightforward—caves are your best bet, as the game suggests. I spent some time foraging in the desert to get what I needed, and I’d recommend planning a route near cave systems to stock up efficiently.
Scavenger Stillsuit Stats: What You Gain
Once you’ve crafted the Scavenger Stillsuit, you’ll notice a big difference in how long you can survive out there. Here’s a table breaking down the stats for each piece, all at Level 4 (IV) quality.
| Stillsuit Piece | Armor Value | Heat Protection | Catchpocket Size (Body Only) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scavenger Stillsuit Mask | 3 | 0.3 | – |
| Scavenger Stillsuit Body | 6 | 0.3 | 500 |
| Scavenger Stillsuit Gloves | 2 | 0.3 | – |
| Scavenger Stillsuit Boots | 2 | 0.3 | – |
| Total | 13 | 1.2 | 500 |
The Scavenger Stillsuit gives you a total Armor Value of 13, which is decent for handling environmental hazards and the occasional scuffle. The Heat Protection adds up to 1.2, meaning you’ll lose less water to the desert heat—a huge deal when you’re exploring for hours. The Catchpocket Size of 500 on the Scavenger Stillsuit Body is a game-changer, letting you store plenty of water so you don’t have to head back to base as often.
Why the Scavenger Stillsuit Is Worth Crafting
I’ve found the Scavenger Stillsuit to be a solid investment for surviving Arrakis. It doesn’t take too many resources to craft, and the benefits—like the high Heat Protection and that Catchpocket Size—make a huge difference when you’re out in the desert. The Armor Value isn’t amazing, but it’s enough to get you through early adventures while you work toward better gear. I remember one trip where I was deep in the dunes, and the sun was relentless—if I hadn’t had this stillsuit, I would’ve been in serious trouble. So, if you’re looking to explore further without constantly worrying about water, start gathering those materials and get crafting. Arrakis isn’t going to wait for you!
