Full Run Cheatsheet

The whole gated path on one page. Zones, the material tier they hold, and what each tier unlocks, from character creation to the Landsraad endgame.

At a glance


Spine	Material tech tree. Each zone holds the next tier of ore.
Two currencies	Skill Points (abilities) and Intel Points (crafting research).
Start	Hagga Basin (persistent, PvE, instanced). Follow the main quest.
End	Deep Desert PvPvE plus Landsraad guild politics.
Level cap	Reported around 200 (guide-reported, not officially confirmed).

Do it in this order. Each zone’s material gates the vehicle and gear you need for the next.

Order	Zone	Tier material	Unlocks
1	Hagga Basin South	Copper	Sandbike, early trainers, first base
2	Vermillius Gap	Iron	Iron tier, PvE wrecks, contract boards
3	Jabal Eifrit Al-junab / Hagga Rift	Carbon Ore (Steel), Erythrite (Cobalt Paste)	Steel tier, the Buggy
4	Eastern Shield Wall	Aluminum Ore, Basalt	Scout Ornithopter (flight, fast travel)
5	Mysa Tarill / Sheol	Jasmium Crystals (Duraluminum)	Duraluminum tier, Assault Ornithopter
6	Deep Desert	Plastanium (Tier 6), spice	Endgame PvPvE, Sand Crawler, weekly reset
7	Landsraad and guilds	Faction and guild membership	Weekly House tasks, decrees, spice economy

Zone boundaries are guide-reported and approximate. Treat this as the intended climb.

Tier	Vehicle
Copper	Sandbike (first vehicle)
Iron / Steel	Upgraded Sandbike tiers; Steel unlocks the Buggy
Aluminum	Scout Ornithopter (flight, ~250 Intel Points cited)
Duraluminum	Assault Ornithopter (up to four seats)
Plastanium	Sand Crawler, Carrier Ornithopter (up to six players)

Create your character. Pick your mentor deliberately (Mentat is a common first pick); homeworld and caste are mostly flavor.
Do the Zantara journey tasks: first base, water from flowers and blood, starting gear, and a Sandbike.
Follow the main quest through Hagga Basin South. Grab the early uniques (Aren’s Vengeance, Hollower Stillsuit, Kaleff’s Drinker, Emperor’s Wings Mk1).
Move north to Vermillius Gap for Iron, then Hagga Rift and Jabal Eifrit for Steel and the Buggy.
Reach Eastern Shield Wall for Aluminum, then research the Scout Ornithopter for flight.
Push Mysa Tarill and Sheol for Duraluminum and advanced components.
Enter the Deep Desert for Tier 6 Plastanium, spice, and the PvPvE loop. Extract before the weekly reset.
Join a guild and work the Landsraad for weekly House tasks and decrees.

Sandworms are invincible and drawn to vibration. A worm kill is instant death and deletes everything you carry, vehicle included. Stay on rock.
Do not build at spawn or over-invest in an early base. You relocate as you climb.
Hoard water. It crafts Iron and Steel, not just fills your meter.
Shielded enemies resist firearms. Headshot the unshielded first, then melee the shielded.
The Deep Desert resets weekly (reported Tuesday), wiping structures and loot.
