In this guide, we’ll provide simple walkthroughs for the four new Arrakeen 'Social Hub Contracts' which were added to Dune Awakening in Chapter 3.
These contracts are not difficult, but can become fairly cluttered if attempted at once. The guide below should make this process a little easier.
You can view our Harko Village Social Hub Contract Walkthroughs in a separate article.
Important Notes:
- All of these contracts are started and completed within Arrakeen. You won’t need to leave the social hub to complete these quests.
- It is advisable to start all four right away, as some overlap. However, it can also lead to a lot of confusion about progress.

Arrakeen Social Hub Contract Map Reference
This map gives you all the major locations for the quests that we will be sent to. Check your map for quick reference.
Salusan Jobs: Bouncer Duty
First up, we need to report to Ugo Firenze in the upstairs of the Salusan Bull. Once that’s done, head downstairs until you find the Drunk Atreides Soldier. Then head back to Ugo to get the next job.
Again, head back downstairs and evict the local drunk. Dialogue options are here mostly for flavour, so flex those skills. Head back to Ugo once the drunk is dealt with.
This time, the drunk is upstairs, and was someone we spoke to during the new quest chain with Act 3 of the main story. Hand this one in again to Ugo, and this time it’s the end of the quest chain. A fairly easy contract, while he will likely say to report back for more work in the future, that is likely to be in the next patch.
Athar Banquet: Help Needed at House Athar
First, we need to head to the upper level of Arrakken and speak to House Athar Majordomo. He has three tasks for us to help him with to prepare for a banquet.
First, we need to head to the main entrance of Arrakeen to the Scrap Vendor location to check out some crates for the banquet. Check the crates and then head back to Majordomo.
Note: The crates are a test and are, in fact, not ok - you can still complete the mission if you say they are ok however.
Now we need to head to the Salusan Bull once more and speak with the Heiress of House Athar. After speaking with her, head to her Tailor.
Now, head down to the customs area, again near the Scrap Vendor location, to find out about the held shipment. Once we head to the second part behind the Scrap Vendor, we will need to call our contact.
Now it’s time to speak with Phn O’Garee, the Scrap Vendor, about his Black Market dealings. He will give over the fake brandy and reveal the location of the real brandy to us. Head to the location and search the crate to claim the real Brandy. Now, head back to the House Athar Majordomo to hand over both brandies. Sadly, there is no option to just give the fake and keep the real one.
Dr. Shaffat: Help Needed at the Clinic
For this contract, we need to head to Dr Shaffat to start her investigation. Head down to the customs officials to get an update on the missing medical supplies. There are a number of ways to handle this. If you’re a Mentat, you can lie your way through it to get the supplies approved. Other skills can use their own unique replies, though, as always, this is just flavour.
Once done, head back to Dr Shaffat to complete this very easy contract.
Officer Scandal: Investigator Required
The final contract is perhaps the most interesting from a lore perspective. For this contract, we need to head to the Salusan Bull in the far back of the downstairs section. Captain Nola Stein is looking for outside help to investigate the situation. Stein will send us to speak with David Inius, who is on the Parade Grounds in the outside section of Arrakken, shown above.
Now we need to head to the exchange and interact with the area next to the wall art (it’s hard to miss, as it has a large blue aura coming out of it). Take the item, then head to the drop-off location in the alley shown above. Pretend to place the item in the drop location before turning to the Mysterious Figure in the corner of the alley. Once he’s done, search the body and listen to the audio log.
Take that evidence back to Captain Stein, where we first found her in the Salusan Bull. Hand over the material and collect your rewards to complete this contract.
