The headline feature of this update is the opening of the Ruins of Tsimpo, offering fresh territory for explorers to delve into. Alongside this new location, Funcom has introduced five new Landsraad Missions, providing more ways to gain influence and resources within the game's political ecosystem. For those who prefer the edge of a blade or the kick of a rifle against other players, the patch also includes crucial PvP damage adjustments designed to refine the combat meta and ensure encounters feel more balanced.
If you participated in the recent community challenge, the reward window is now open. Players can claim their specialized Battle Rifle Variant until April 25, 2026. This limited-time weapon isn't just a trophy; it's a statement of your contribution to the collective efforts on Arrakis.
Beyond the mechanical changes, the latest Communinet Signal #14 showcased stunning new Smuggler armor concept art by Filipe Augusto and Gabriel Blain. These designs lean heavily into the gritty, utilitarian aesthetic required to survive the deep desert while looking the part of a spice runner. The community focus continued with a deep dive into hotbar UI feedback, revealing that most of us are hard-wired to keep melee weapons in slot 1, while slot 6 has become the go-to 'utility flex' spot for various gadgets.
Whether you're decorating your player-built structures or heading into the ruins to test the new PvP tweaks, Patch 1.3.10 adds much-needed depth to the mid-game loop. Keep an eye on your comms for more updates as we get closer to the end of the current reward window.
