At first, equippable items in Dune: Awakening will be assigned to the loadout menu automatically, since there are empty slots. But after the loadout gets full, obtained items will simply sit in the inventory until players equip them manually. So here's how to change the loadout wheel to equip items or Emote in Dune: Awakening.

How To Change Loadout Wheel In Dune Awakening

To change the loadout wheel in Dune: Awakening, players must head to the menu, then choose Inventory from the top of the screen. There, they can see all their equipped items and change them if necessary. To change the gears inside the loadout, simply drag the item to (or from) the desired slot. The Inventory section also allows players to check their character stats and see their affiliation status.

Keep in mind that the menu consists of many tabs other than the Inventory tab, so when opening the menu, players won't immediately land on the Inventory section. The other available tabs include Map, Crafting, Research, Skills, Journey, and Customization.

Best Early Weapons And How To Get Them In Dune Awakening

Unlike active items (weapons, tools, and consumables), armor and other passive utilities such as Power Pack and Suspensor Belt are equipped from the Character section of the Inventory screen. The process of equipping them is the same, though. Simply drag the items to wear or remove them.

Power Pack is used to activate equipment that needs power, like the Cutteray Mk1. Meanwhile, the Suspensor Belt is useful for avoiding fall damage and enabling other jump-related utilities such as floating.

If players wish to customize how their armor looks in Dune: Awakening, they can utilize the Customization tab. Pick which equipment they want to customize, then choose the pattern they desire. Sadly, there's only a limited variation and patterns, so players can't go all out on their flair.
