Sandworm
The Sandworm is a native inhabitant of Arrakis and one of the dangers players will encounter during their time on the planet. Sandworm's are attracted through vibrations caused by walking on the sand, or through the use of Imperial technology such as Holtzman Shields, or Lasguns.
The interactions between the worm and players are restricted. For example, a player can only avoid the worm, and lure it away with a Thumper; players are unable to ride the worm or kill it at this moment in time; it is unknown if this will be added at a later date,[1] but the developers have hinted that they would at least like to add riding of the sandworms to gameplay in the future.[2]
Description[edit | edit source]
The great sandworms of Dune roam the open desert and are sensitive to any rhythmic vibration, including footsteps. Seek the safety of rock islands and learn how to use a thumper to distract worms.
