Water is survival on Arrakis, and mastering the Blood Purifier might just be your first real step toward staying alive. In Dune: Awakening, everything revolves around hydration.
While dew collectors and stillsuits help, the Blood Purifier lets you tap into a whole new liquid source: blood. Here's a quick guide to unlocking and using the Blood Purifier like a pro.
What Is the Blood Purifier in Dune Awakening?
The Blood Purifier is a survival station that converts harvested blood into usable water. In a game where heatstroke is deadlier than bullets, this tech is essential. It's especially handy in the early to mid-game, when access to water is limited and every drop counts.

How to Unlock the Blood Purifier in Dune Awakening?
To unlock the Blood Purifier, head to your Research Terminal. It's available relatively early in the tech tree under the Survival Utilities category. You'll need:
Basic crafting components (like processed metal and resin)
Some XP from field exploration
A functioning base with power supply
Once researched, build it at your outpost using the construction menu. It doesn't take up much space, so setting up two or more is a good strategy.
What You Need Before Using It
Before you can purify blood, you need to collect it. For that, you'll require:
Blood Extractor
: A tool used to siphon blood from fallen NPCs or creatures
Blood Sacks
: Containers that hold the extracted blood
Literjon
(optional): For storing the final purified water for future use
Make sure your inventory has room for these before you venture out.
Return to your base and drink water from the Blood Purifier Dune Awakening
How to Use the Blood Purifier in Dune Awakening?
Collect Blood:
Defeat enemies and use the Blood Extractor. Blood Sacks will automatically fill up.
Transfer to Purifier:
Head back to your Blood Purifier and insert the filled Blood Sacks. The station begins processing immediately.
Wait for Conversion:
Blood takes a bit of time to convert. Don't expect instant results. Craft multiple stations if you want a constant supply.
Drink or Store
: You can either drink straight from the machine or use a Literjon to bottle it up for later. This is especially useful if you're heading out on a long trek across the sands.
Pro Tips to Maximize Efficiency
Craft More Than One
: One purifier is good. Two or three is even better.
Wear a Stillsuit
: It'll reduce how often you need to hydrate, stretching your purified water supply.
Plan Runs
: Clear out enemy camps and collect blood in batches, so you don't waste energy with short trips.
The Blood Purifier might sound like a desperate tool, but on Arrakis, desperation is just smart survival. Unlock it early, use it often, and pair it with other water-saving strategies to stay alive and hydrated, because nothing kills a dream of domination faster than dehydration.

Donald Trump's 'terrifying' order as National Guard descend on LA amid clashes
Donald Trump has called for the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles, with the troops soon descending on the city as violent clashes continue to break out President Donald Trump issued a chilling command as tensions escalated in Los Angeles, posting on his Truth Social page that things were "looking really bad" in the city. The 47th POTUS's remarks have sparked outrage from former Vice President Kamala Harris and political commentators who accuse him of inciting fear amid ongoing protests. As clashes between protesters and ICE agents intensify, Trump has instructed National Guard troops to intervene in LA, prompting California Governor Gavin Newsom to brand him a "stone cold liar." Trump's alarming call to action was made clear when he took to Truth Social. His comments have been widely criticised. He wrote: "Looking really bad in L.A. BRING IN THE TROOPS!!!" He then doubled down with another post demanding: "ARREST THE PEOPLE IN FACE MASKS, NOW!" Former Vice President Harris has slammed the decision to deploy the National Guard, releasing a statement that criticises Trump's "dangerous escalation" and expresses her dismay at the unrest in her hometown. Harris stated: "Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos." Harris slammed the "recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation," as "part of the Trump Administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division." She concluded her statement by asserting that the president was "stoking fear". Social media reactions to Harris were mixed, with one supporter enthusing: "If you were our PRESIDENT, we would be at peace right now! The future wouldn't be so scary." However, a critic responded: "This is why you and the party you represent lost. Keep 'em coming. We don't mind taking the midterms." Amid tensions, California Governor Gavin Newsom implored Vice President J.D. Vance to stop kindling unrest while Trump and Vance commended the National Guard for their efforts, despite their absence from the scene. Governor Newsom retorted on social media: "You didn't even know when your own National Guard was deployed on the ground. Stop fanning the flames." He pledged to arrest and prosecute "bad actors" but vowed to shield the "many, many peaceful protestors" as they exercise a "fundamental right", stressing: "But Donald Trump needs to pull back. He needs to stand down." Newson pointedly placed responsibility, saying: "Donald Trump is inflaming these conditions. This is Donald. Trump's problem right now. And if he can't solve it, we will." The National Guard and Donald Trump are facing a fierce backlash from the public, with one person taking to X to express their anger, writing: "Donald Trump is a weak leader. He does not know how to govern. Little child boy."

Nigel Farage calls for ‘re-industrialisation' of Wales
Nigel Farage has said his party wants to restart Port Talbot's blast furnaces and 're-industrialise Wales'. On a visit to South Wales, the leader of Reform UK said the resumption of traditional steelmaking and coal production is the party's long-term ambition if it comes to power. The speech came one year ahead of the Senedd elections in May next year, where the party is looking to end Labour's 26 years of domination. Addressing reporters, Mr Farage acknowledged that plans to open a traditional furnace could take years and cost 'in the low billions'. The GMB Union has branded the plans 'more lies from an opportunistic chancer'. Port Talbot's remaining blast furnaces were shut down in September, with a new electric arc furnace being built in their place. Tata Steel, the owner of the plant, said the closure of the furnaces was necessary, with the steelworks losing £1m a day. 'Our ambition is to re-industrialise Wales,' Mr Farage said. 'We are going to be using more steel over the next few years than we have probably ever used. 'As we increase military spending and as we attempt a house building programme in Wales, and even more so in England, of massive proportions, just to catch up with the population explosion over the last 20 years, we are going to need a lot of steel.' The Reform leader said 'specific types of coal' are needed in the UK, particularly for a new blast furnace. 'I'm not saying let's open all of the pits,' he said. 'What I am saying is coal, specific types of coal for certain uses that we still need in this country – and we certainly will need for the blast furnaces here – we should be producing ourselves rather than importing.' While he acknowledged 'mining is dangerous', Mr Farage said the industry could provide well-paying jobs. The Reform leader acknowledged the plan to open a new furnace would cost 'in the low billions' and would be 'no easy thing'. 'It's a massive, expensive job to reopen blast furnaces, we're going to need cheaper energy, we're going to need much cheaper coal, we are going to need private business partners prepared to come into a joint venture,' he said. Responding to the GMB Union allegations that his party's plans were 'lies', Mr Farage said the union was tied to the Labour Party as one of its biggest funders. He said: 'They see us as a challenge, and therefore, they'll be rude about us. 'What you will find is that increasingly, GMB members are going to vote for us, and the more GMB members vote for us, the more upset GMB officials and leaders will become. 'Frankly, the trade unions have done nothing to protect British workers through open borders over the last 20-25 years.' During his speech, Mr Farage said he doubted that the electric arc furnace, which is due to come online in 2028, 'will ever, ever be switched on'. Challenged on what evidence he had, he argued that with British energy prices being so high, it would be producing 'very, very expensive secondary steel'. He added: 'I hope I'm wrong, an electric arc furnace is not the real deal, but it's better than nothing.' Mr Farage said the party's campaign for the Senedd election next May 'starts today', but would not say when Reform would announce a leader in Wales. Regional officer Ruth Brady, speaking at the GMB's annual conference in Brighton, said: 'The people of Port Talbot will see this for what it is – more lies from this opportunistic chancer. 'Nigel Farage was happy to let British Steel go to the wall. He'll trot out any line when the cameras are rolling. He doesn't care about steel communities or steel workers.' Ms Brady said the plans to shut the blast furnaces were made by the last Tory government and the union wanted Labour to 'make good on their promises to our members in Port Talbot'. Political opponents hit out at Reform's plans, with a Welsh Labour spokesperson saying the people of Wales would 'see through' Mr Farage's false hopes and promises. 'His answer is to bring back the mines. The only thing Nigel Farage is trying to mine is votes from communities that have already gone through tough times,' they said. 'Nigel Farage has today brought his fantasy politics and magic money tree to Port Talbot. He's gambling with real people's livelihoods.' Darren Millar, leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the Senedd, accused Mr Farage of making 'wild promises' without speaking to Tata. Welsh Liberal Democrat MP David Chadwick argued mining was Wales' past, not its future. 'My relatives in South Wales worked hard to ensure that their children and grandchildren wouldn't have to do the dangerous work of going down the pits and for future generations to have better opportunities in life,' he said. 'The fact that Nigel Farage doesn't see this shows how poorly he understands Welsh communities.' Heledd Fychan, speaking for Plaid Cymru, accused Mr Farage of 'taking advantage' after the industry said reopening the existing furnaces would be 'impossible.' 'You can imagine my surprise at his calls to reopen the coal mines in Wales, especially considering the actions taken by his political hero, Margaret Thatcher,' she said. 'Reform clearly have no interest in actually improving the lives of the people of Wales, they can only come up with unrealistic and unsubstantiated headlines that will be of no material benefit to the people of Port Talbot or Wales. Greenpeace also hit out at the plans, saying bringing back British coal 'has about as much chance of success as resurrecting dinosaurs'.
