In the treacherous sands of Dune: Awakening, few contracts test your observation and precision like “Looking for Leaders.” As part of the Payback questline, this mission tasks players with tracking down hidden recruitment ads deep within the bandit-operated marketplace of Suk Alusus. Unlike typical missions, you won’t get handholding markers—success here requires sharp eyes and methodical exploration.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to start the quest, how to find the recruitment documents, and how to make the most of your rewards. Let’s get you one step closer to unlocking that unique weapon waiting at the end of the Payback chain.

What is “Looking for Leaders”?

“Looking for Leaders” is the second contract in the Payback storyline, unlocked after completing “Stealing from Thieves.” It tasks players with infiltrating the bandit stronghold Suk Alusus, located in Eastern Vermillius Gap, and retrieving two Kirab recruitment ads.

While this contract offers Solaris and XP, its true value lies in progressing the narrative arc toward a powerful weapon reward. Mastering this quest is also a great way to familiarize yourself with non-linear objectives and environmental storytelling in Dune: Awakening.

How to Reach Suk Alusus

Location:

• Region: Eastern Vermillius Gap

• Landmark: Directly beneath Mirzabah, the iconic rock formation known as “The Hammer”

Look for a uniquely large rocky outcrop—it stands out starkly on your map. That’s your destination. Once there, you’ll find multiple entry points:

• Front entrance: Direct but riskier if enemies are active

• Cliffside approach: Offers vertical access from above

Neither method is significantly faster, but climbing may offer better tactical advantage if you want to scope the layout before engaging.

Kirab Recruitment Ad Locations

Your mission is to locate two pieces of rolled-up recruitment paper. They’re not marked on your HUD, so careful searching is key.

📝 Ad #1: Second Floor Market Stall

• Navigate to the upper level of Suk Alusus.

• Look for a room with a sunken central area, populated with various market stalls.

• On the southern side, find a stall with a rolled-up scroll on display.

📝 Ad #2: Near Fireplace on Ground Floor

• From the first ad, head south and descend the stairs.

• Look for another market stall near a fireplace.

• The second ad is placed at the corner of this stall—easy to overlook if you’re rushing.

Once both papers are collected and read, contact your contract issuer to wrap up the quest.

Next Step: Dropping Drot

Upon completing “Looking for Leaders,” the next mission in the Payback chain, “Dropping Drot,” will trigger automatically. This contract ups the stakes by throwing more formidable bandits at you. Be sure you’re equipped with upgraded weapons and armor before proceeding.

Contract Tips for Maximum Efficiency

• Scout First: Use elevation to your advantage before engaging.

• Travel Light: The Suk Alusus area is tight—prioritize mobility-enhancing gear.

• Avoid Alerting Mobs: Many players fail the stealth aspect by triggering unnecessary combat.

• Sync With Friends: Consider teaming up for faster coverage of Suk Alusus if you’re undergeared.
