Best sandbike parts in Dune Awakening

The sandbike is the fastest way to get around on the ground, and it's what most players ride when they run from a worm. Here are the best parts for it.

What to pick

• All-round pick: 6Mohandis Sandbike Engine Mk6 — Makes the sandbike faster at the cost of more heat. For scouting and quick runs across the desert it is the best engine.
• For finding resources: 2Sandbike Scanner Mk2 — Lets you scan the area without getting off. Cheap and very handy for finding resources.
• All-round pick: 6Sandbike Booster Mk6 — Works the same day and night. For most players it is the safer choice over Night Rider.
• For night rides: 6Night Rider Sandbike Boost Mk6 — Works better in the cool night and barely helps in the heat of day. Take it if you mostly ride at night; by day the regular Mk6 booster is better.
• Early game: 2Mohandis Sandbike Engine Mk2 — Early models of this engine are cheap and already add speed. A good first upgrade for the sandbike in Hagga Basin.

Tips

• Mohandis runs hotter, so do not hold the boost too long, especially by day.
• Night Rider only makes sense for night rides; by day use the regular booster.
