Power Harness

Power Harness is unique heavy chest armor of Tier 6 in Dune Awakening, belonging to the Heavy Armor category. This specialized armor comes with additional power reserves to assist House forces in mining and suspensor usage. It represents a practical approach to heavy armor design that combines maximum protection with enhanced power management for demanding industrial and combat operations.

Game Characteristics

Power Harness offers 525 armor points - the highest value among all shown armor pieces, and excellent Heavy Armor properties optimized for industrial operations:

Specialized Properties

• Dash Stamina Cost: 7.5% - Increased costs typical for heavy armor
• Maximum Power: 50 - Additional power reserves
• Light Dart Mitigation: 6.0% - Protection against light projectiles
• Blade Mitigation: -12.0% - Reduced protection against blade attacks
• Concussive Mitigation: 6.0% - Protection against concussive damage
• Heavy Dart Mitigation: 6.0% - Protection against heavy projectiles

Crafting System

Manufacturing Power Harness requires an Advanced Garment Fabricator and the following materials:

• Plastanium Ingot (65x)
• Plasteel Microflora Fiber (21x)
• Silicone Block (31x)
• Plasteel Composite Armor Plating (14x)
• Spice Melange (83x)
• Spice-infused Plastanium Dust (14x)
• Irradiated Core (3x)
• Water (700x)

Total crafting time is 15 seconds and requires a unique schematic to unlock the recipe.

Landsraad Alternative

Besides Deep Desert drops, there's another way to obtain Power Harness - you can get it as a reward from Landsraad House when reaching a specific milestone in personal contribution. This path can often be more efficient than waiting for the correct weekly rotation in Deep Desert.

Deep Desert Drop

This Tier 6 industrial armor belongs to items available in the Deep Desert but is not part of the current rotation. Most of these heavy-duty items appear only during specific weeks.

FAQ

Q: Why does Power Harness have negative Blade Mitigation (-12.0%)?
A: It's a heavy armor trade-off. The thick plating provides excellent protection against projectiles and concussive damage, but the bulky design makes it more vulnerable to precise blade attacks.

Q: Is Maximum Power 50 a significant bonus?
A: Definitely yes for industrial operations. Additional power reserves enable extended use of power-hungry mining equipment, suspensors, and industrial tools without frequent recharging.

Q: Is Power Harness worth it for combat vs mining?
A: Depends on application. For ranged combat it's excellent (525 armor, projectile mitigation). For melee combat it's problematic due to -12.0% Blade Mitigation. Ideal for mining operations.

Q: Is the selling price of 17,000 Solaris justified?
A: Yes, reflecting highest armor value (525) and specialized power management. It's premium industrial equipment with professional-grade capabilities.

Q: How does Power Harness compare to Light Armor options?
A: Maximum protection (525 vs ~291) but much higher mobility cost (7.5% vs -6.0% dash stamina). It's a protection vs mobility trade-off for different operational needs.

Q: I need Irradiated Core for crafting - where do I find it?
A: Irradiated Core is a specialized component typically found in industrial locations or high-tech facilities. It's rare material reflecting advanced power system requirements.
