Dune Awakening Switch Faction Method: How To Betray Your Current House?

Posted: Jun 26, 2025 Views: 31

In Dune Awakening, the choice of faction is crucial, because each faction provides their members with unique crafting recipes to create exclusive weapons, armor and other items, which will affect your progress in collecting precious resources such as Spice in the game and determine your position in Landsraad system.

Why Is Joining A Faction So Important?

Players can choose to join Atreides or Harkonnen. Different faction choices will greatly affect your gameplay in the later stages, because Atreides family is usually good at diplomacy and defensive strategies, while Harkonnen family is better at offensive tactics.

Of course, there are other factions in the game, such as Fremen and Bene Gesserit families, but you can’t join them directly, you can only interact with them during the game.

So in short, your faction choice can be said to be an important turning point in your journey, but this does not mean that you can only choose one faction throughout the game, you certainly have the right to change factions.

Here, we will show you how to switch your faction in the game. However, please note that the decisions you make during the game will have lasting effects, so changing your main faction will consume all your previous reputation progress.

How To Join A Faction?

First, once you enter Eastern Vermillius Gap, you can travel to Anvil Trading Post located here, where you can decide which faction you want to join: Atreides and Harkonnen.

No matter which faction you end up choosing, you will eventually need to complete their quest chain, which will take you through the main story of the faction. In simple terms, after you choose the house you are about to pledge allegiance to, you need to first undergo the test and complete all their quests along the way before you are eligible to join them.

Personally, I joined House of Atreides and reached the highest rank 5. Now, we can switch between House of Atreides or Harkonnen at any time.

But please note that we can only switch once, because traitors will no longer be allowed to join the faction they betrayed, so be careful.

How To Switch Factions?

Now, one thing you can do is complete rank 5 reputation in one of the factions, and then you can still leave, but you have to do it differently.

Switching From Harkonnen To Atreides

If you are a member of Harkonnen and you want to join Atreides, then it’s simple, you need to fly to Arrakeen, which is the social hub for all Atreides players.

As soon as you load up here, you can go all the way to the left side of the map, and you’ll see a guy with a table with all kinds of trade flags and other things hanging on it, Lt. Tolliver, he will be your new leader. You need to complete a lot of tasks for them here to show them that you want to defect.

Next, you need to talk to this NPC. If you are currently a member of Harkonnen, you can show him that you want to defect to Atreides faction. However, there will be a warning window popping up telling you that you can only defect once, and if you do, Harkonnen will ban you from ever going back.

So, keep that in mind. Maybe they will change this in the future, but for now be very careful when choosing.

Switching From Atreides To Harkonnen

However, if you are from Atreides faction and want to become a Harkonnen member, you must go to Harko Village, which is a gathering place for all players of the same faction.

Near the entrance of Harko Village, you can find a faction representative to help you switch factions opposite Harkonnen Vendor.

After talking to him, you can betray your current faction and switch to Harkonnen. However, a warning window will pop up to inform you of the consequences of betraying a faction.

In addition to this, you should also know that before you switch, you’d better keep any customization you get in faction trading, and make sure you get any exclusive items you want in your current faction, because usually these items will be doubled in price when they are obtained from the perspective of the opposing faction. Even if you don’t need them later, selling these items can bring you a considerable amount of Dune Awakening Solari income!

How To Improve Faction Rank As Soon As Possible?

After we switch factions, you still need to reach the top five ranks as soon as possible and complete all quest lines, and then you will get a new contract. It’s not easy to get to the highest reputation, it’s a long quest line. But if you do it the way I do it, you will rank up as fast as possible.

In my case, if I want to defect to the Harkonnen faction and level up as quickly as possible, I just need to kill a group of Sandflies at Sandfly base and loot the information log lying on the floor.

Then, we have to go back to Harko Village, give the stolen items to Piter de Vries, and give the false information to the NPC of Atreides faction.

Next, we go back to Arrakeen and find Atreides member who originally stood on one side. Now, we have to betray him before their eyes before we can return to Harko Village and speak to Piter de Vries to complete the contract.

In this way, not only can we consolidate our position in Harkonnen, but it will immediately raise our ranking to the highest level among the opposing factions.

And when you join Harkonnen, you can run directly to the other side and find NPCs that you couldn’t find when trading before. You can see that all the exclusive items of the Harko faction can be obtained here at half the price of trading!

Finally, let me emphasize again that you only have one chance to switch camps, and you can no longer return to the family you betrayed before, after all, your reputation in that camp has dropped to negative. So, before switching, please understand all the consequences of betrayal, and don’t go back!
