In Arrakis, players will compete with each other for resources in specific areas where PvP is enabled. 

Hagga Basin

In Hagga Basin, PvP will be enabled in all shipwrecks (this excludes the one in Hagga Basin South)

When entering the area, players will receive a heads-up warning with a "Changing Area" countdown in the middle upper section (underneath the compass) informing them that they are zoning in to a PvP area. The same will happen when a player leaves a PvP area.

Deep Desert

The Deep Desert is an area only accessible via the Overland map where danger intensifies, affected by a Coriolis Storm. The Deep Desert also has PvP enabled in almost its entirety; as in Hagga Basin, players will be prompted with a heads-up warning when leaving the initial safe zone. 

Alternatives to PvP

While PvP exists in the world of Dune: Awakening, players are not obligated to engage with it. There are alternatives to obtaining the resources available in both Shipwrecks and Deep Desert; for example, the Auction House or the vendors available in outposts.
