- In Dune Awakening, players can choose between a Stillsuit and armor, each with pros and cons.
- Stillsuits excel in harsh environments with heat protection and water recovery.
- However, light armor provides the best balance, with good defense, reduced stamina cost, and better mobility.
Dune Awakening has different types of clothes, each providing its unique advantages over the harsh environment of Arrakis. However, there are two main types of clothing: Armors and Stillsuits. Both of them have separate functions and have uses in their own right. But carrying two different sets of clothes can be a hassle, so which one should you pick among them? Here is a complete analysis of Stillsuit vs Armor in Dune Awakening to help you find the best clothes in Arrakis.
Dune Awakening Stillsuit: Pros and Cons

Pros:
- Recovers water from the body
- Better heat protection
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Provides very little protection
- No additional defensive stats
Stillsuit is best used for exploration in Dune Awakening. It provides minimal armor, but a ton of heat protection. This allows you to explore a lot more outside in the sun without getting sunstroke. Other than that, Stillsuit also recovers your body water, giving you an additional water reservoir while exploring. So, you don’t have to carry a ton of water while equipping a Stillsuit, freeing up your inventory.
However, wearing the Stillsuit in combat is asking for trouble. Stillsuits can handle fights in small camps, but taking on large strongholds while wearing a Stillsuit will be foolish. Although it is still possible for you to clear large camps while wearing a Stillsuit, you need to be extra careful.
Dune Awakening Armor: Pros and Cons

Pros:
- Provides good protection
- Gives additional defensive stats
- Has both Lightweight and heavyweight options
Cons:
- No heat protection
- Doesn’t recover water
There are two types of armors in Dune Awakening — Light and Heavy. Light armor reduces stamina costs while giving less armor in exchange, while heavy armor gives a ton of armor and damage mitigation from guns, but at the expense of taking more damage from blades. Both armor types provide more protection than Stillsuits, while giving additional defensive stats.
However, armors provide zero heat protection and don’t recover any water. This makes armor useless for exploring that doesn’t involve combat, unless it’s light armor that reduces the stamina cost.
Stillsuit vs Armor: Which is Better in Dune Awakening?

From the pros and cons mentioned above, you already know that Stillsuit is better for exploration, while armor is better for fighting enemy camps. But you can’t carry two sets of clothes whenever you head out of your base. Most players would target multiple objectives when they head out, which involves farming and combat. So, which is the better option in this case?
In my opinion, the light armor is the best choice during most of your playtime in Dune Awakening. The Stillsuit is suitable for early game content when you are still struggling with water, and the heavy armor is good for late game content, like PvP.
Overall, the light armor seems the best of the two worlds, decreasing stamina usage and providing decent armor. Tell us what you prefer to use between Stillsuit and armors in Dune Awakening in the comment section below.
