Discovering the Holtzman Amplifier in Dune: Awakening

Alright, so you’re diving into this survival game, “Dune: Awakening.” Got this contract called “Wrecking Crew.” Sounds non-essential, but who am I to judge your gaming priorities, right? Anyway, you need the Holtzman Amplifier to get rolling. And let me tell you, the game isn’t just gonna hand it to you. Nope. You’ve gotta hunt for it like your cat trying to find that one perfect sunny spot on the floor.

Now, imagine this: you’re supposed to find this amplifier thing in the Alcyon wreck. Wrecked ships, no map guidance, and definitely no neon signs saying “Hey, it’s right here!” The usual looty boxes glow like they’re auditioning for “Avatar,” but not this one. Totally stealth mode. Who thought this was a good idea?

Anyway, um… oh, right, finding the amplifier. Duck into the Alcyon’s entry—clear that out first. There’s a staircase lurking in the back, right corner of the room. Tricky little thing. Takes you to a room with a giant planet hologram like they just casually have these lying around. Near this hologram, some crates are loitering. Tinker with the box at the end of the stack, and voila! Holtzman Amplifier and some Solari (that’s game-money if you care about such details).

Screen won’t stir a peep after you snag it. No congratulations, not even a pat on the back. Seriously, game? The quest log insists you haven’t got it ’til you cough it up at the contract terminal. But trust me, you’re good once it’s in your pocket.

Oh, and while you’re at it, clear out the whole ship. Scavengers, shiny things, a chance to flex your might and skill, plus random goo for your blood purifier. Because who doesn’t love a good multitasking adventure?

Wrap it all up by swinging by the Griffin Trading Post. Hand over the goods at the contract terminal. 350 XP and 2,000 Solari is your bounty—not the lottery, but hey, it’s something. And hey, more contracts pop up that you might already be set to finish. Means more cash to squander on essentials or maybe just some game-day indulgences. Grab plant fiber, welding wire—whatever you fancy. Or maybe don’t, it’s your game.
