Radiation is one of the environmental Hazards that players will have to deal with in Dune: Awakening. Most of the time, the levels of radiation will be low, and players will not have to worry, unless they delve deeper into the Anomaly Zones to get some of the best gear in the game.

In that case, they will need special protection to overcome the corrosive air and survive long enough to get the loot home. But first things first, they will need to unlock the technology necessary to protect themselves. So, here's a guide with all the information players need to protect themselves from Radiation in Dune: Awakening.
How To Unlock The Radiation Suit In Dune: Awakening
To unlock the Radiation Suit in Dune: Awakening, players will have to complete the Fourth Trial of Aql and then the Fifth Trial of Aql. This will allow them to unlock not only the Thumper and other important pieces of technology, but also open the pathway to researching the Radiation Suit.
Players will need 20 Intel Points to unlock this suit, and have the Garment Fabricator unlocked and built in their bases. Then, the materials needed to craft this piece of protective gear are not easy to gather:
- 340 Water
- 35 Aluminium
- 21 Plasteel Microflora Fiber
- 25 Silicone Block
Water is easy to obtain in Dune: Awakening, the problem is the other materials, since Aluminium requires tons of ores and water to be crafted. The other hard-to-get material is the Silicone Block, which has to be fabricated in the Chemical Refinery using Flour Sand, though getting enough of it without being eaten by the Sandworm is quite a challenge.
Players can also craft Iodine Pills using Agave Seeds found in the O'odham to increase their Radiation Resistance and diminish the buildup of the toxic effect.

Finally, Plasteel Microflora Fiber can be obtained in any of the wreckage from a capital ship in Hagga Basin. Though players should be extremely careful when delving into these places, since they're filled with powerful elite enemies and PvP is active in these zones.
Once players have all the mats they need, they will be able to equip the protective suit, which covers the entire body and makes armor unusable. Then, they will notice the protective Radiation Suit has a certain amount of 'tolerance.' Meaning that the Mark 4 suit protects from conventional levels of Radiation (up to Level 4), and from there on, players will need a more powerful suit.
