Best Weapons List in Dune Awakening
Image via: Funcom With the recent addition of weapon and shield balancing brought along by the world reforge update to Dune: Awakening, the scorching sands of Arrakis require a higher caliber of tactical perfection. With shields now protecting from all but the most precise ranged firepower and class synergies and ammo economy ensuring that almost every shot and swing counts, this empowers players to layer damage. Whether you're trading shots in a spice-riddled hallway or defending your hold from raids across the Dune's expansive desert, having the right weapon can make the difference between persevering or becoming sandworm fodder. Here's a more in-depth look at the best guns reigning lord over the wasteland in this fresh new meta. 1. Scatterguns: The New Kings of Close Quarters Top Pick: Regis GRDA 44 Damage: 499.7 per shot | Ammo: Light Dart That close-range dominance is more important now than ever. Now that Holtzman Shields can deflect ranged attacks, we've seen scatterguns such as the Regis GRDA 44 become absolute game changers in close quarters. Whether storming Moisture-Sealed Caves or protecting Drizzler faction turf, it's almost-instant kill capability makes it the ultimate choice for scrappy tussles if you keep track of your shots, of course. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 180k traders trust IC Markets for CFD trading IC Markets Sign Up Undo Very close runner-up, with 326.0 damage and a nasty piece of art to boot.

Rifles: Precision and Poison in the Open Dunes Top Pick: Regis JABAL Spitdart Damage: 235.6 per shot | Ammo: Heavy Dart When battling beneath the unshielded sky, where shields are dangerous due to the presence of sandworms, rifles dominate. The Regis JABAL Spitdart has excruciating long-range power that removes the threat before they can even get close. It's perfect for ambushes, and PvP duels on the other hand.

Sidearms: Versatility with Shield-Breaking Potential Top Pick: Artisan Disruptor Pistol Damage: 166.9 per shot | Shield Disruptors are the meta's secret MVPs The Artisan Disruptor Pistol shatters Holtzman Shields making it the only ranged weapon able to convert a shield advantage into a death sentence up close. Otherwise it's great as a secondary option for melee builds. Pair this with a quick hitting melee weapon for a hybrid loadout that destroys enemy walls and sentry turrets stupid fast. 4. Short Blades: Fast, Cheap, and Shield-Killing Top Pick: Unfixed Crysknife Damage: 191.6 per swing | Blade When shields are down, speed and stagger become vital. The Unfixed Crysknife, a high-damage Short Blade that is highly effective in quick-hit duels and resource-light skirmishes.

Heavy Weapons: The AoE Titans Top Pick: Regis Missile Launcher Damage: 285.2 per shot | Ammo: Concussive If you want to erase swathes of bad guys or turret clusters, the Regis Missile Launcher is the best choice. It's slow and costly to upkeep, when deployed it can wipe out bunkers, or create a choke point with the devastating area of effect damage that will disrupt a squad rush. Proceed with caution, these programs come with tradeoffs. Overall Engram Best used in large groups in enclosed PvE events or faction sieges. Can't be a one-man army. With new shield mechanics changing the face of combat entirely, the best builds shift completely to incorporating shield-piercing tools with high-burst or sustained DPS. Like to combo the Spray and Pray Disruptor Sidearm with a Scattergun for devastating close range? How about a Poison-tipped Rifle with a Short Blade for those shielded duels? Flexibility and collaboration are essential. In Dune: Awakening, the weapon you choose determines your journey on the dunes. The wrong choice and you'll be overwhelmed by it.

Roshan Mathew Joins Underground Wrestling Drama In Malayalam Film Chatha Pacha
Last Updated: Roshan Mathew stars in Malayalam wrestling film Chatha Pacha, with music by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy. Set in Fort Kochi, it blends action and emotion. Malayalam cinema is gearing up for a high-octane leap into the world of underground wrestling with Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies, an action-comedy that promises to blend sweat, spectacle, and emotion in equal measure. The film, which officially went on floors this week, is directed by debutant Adhvaith Nayar and produced by Ritesh S Ramakrishnan and Cannes-winning filmmaker Shihan Shoukath under the Reel World Entertainment banner. Leading the pack is an ensemble cast headlined by Roshan Mathew and Arjun Ashokan, joined by Ishan Shoukath and Vishak Nair. Set against the vibrant and gritty backdrop of Fort Kochi, Chatha Pacha dives deep into the chaotic and deeply human world of a secret WWE-style wrestling club, where the ring becomes both battlefield and confessional booth. 'I've never done anything like this before. The world of wrestling entertainment is as intense emotionally as it is physically. I'm thrilled to dive into this space with Chatha Pacha." The film also marks a significant musical crossover, with the legendary composer trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy making their debut in Malayalam cinema. The film's background score will be composed by Mujeeb Majeed, known for his atmospheric work in Kishkindha Kaandam. Crafted from an original story by Adhvaith Nayar, with screenplay and dialogues by Sanoop Thykoodam, Chatha Pacha aims to reimagine the traditional action-comedy by injecting it with raw, emotional stakes and grounded storytelling. Behind the camera, the film boasts a strong technical crew including cinematographer Anend C Chandran (Premam, Bheeshma Parvam) and stunt director Kalai Kingson, acclaimed for his work in Marco. Expected to release by the end of 2025, Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies could very well usher in a new genre hybrid for Malayalam cinema—where the emotional depth of the region's storytelling meets the flamboyant drama of wrestling entertainment.
