There’s a lot of debate about which ornithopter is better for solo spice farming in Dune Awakening, but for me, the scout wins every time. Speed and mobility are everything when you’re alone in the deep desert. The scout ornithopter lets me stay ahead of trouble, whether it’s players with rockets or the inevitable sandworm. The glide speed alone gives you a serious edge — I can cover ground faster and dodge threats more easily.
Sure, the assault ornithopter has its perks, like heavier armor and more storage, but it just can’t match the scout’s speed. When you’re farming solo, getting in and out quickly matters most. Every second counts, and with the scout, I feel like I’m always in control of my fate out there.
