Where to Find Fuel Cells in Dune Awakening

Fuel Cells come from wreckage and containers in Hagga Basin: Southwest Ironworks, Wreck of the Pallas, Khidr's Shadow. Any cutteray works. Exact spots on a map.

Fuel Cells come from wreckage all over Hagga Basin and from loot containers in outposts. The best wreck fields are the Southwest Ironworks (176 nodes nearby), the Northwest Ironworks and the Wreck of the Pallas. For containers, Khidr's Shadow has 22 that always drop them. Big wreck pieces need any cutteray; small cells are picked up by hand.

You'll rarely run short: wreckage and loose cells are scattered across the whole basin, and containers in 487 places in Hagga drop them too. When you pass any debris, grab the small cells on the ground; they need no tool.

Southwest Ironworks

The densest Fuel Cell field in Hagga. It is also the top spot for Salvaged Metal, so fill up on both.

Northwest Ironworks

148 nodes around one part of the site and 140 around the other. Expect guards.

Wreck of the Pallas

A shipwreck near the centre of the basin with 126 nodes.

Table of the Gods and the Wreck of the Mithra

Two landmarks with 121 and 100 nodes, a short ride from each other.

Fuel Cells from containers

These outposts have the most containers that drop Fuel Cells at a 100% chance:

Khidr's Shadow

22 containers with a guaranteed drop. Clear it when you need a quick stack without cutting wrecks.

Abernath's Descent, The Stairway and The Spiral

Three outposts in the north-east, 33 containers between them.

Where to find Fuel Cells in the Deep Desert

There is plenty of wreckage there too, mostly around shipwrecks. The wrecks move every week:

What Fuel Cells are used for

Base power. The Fuel-Powered Generator (45 Salvaged Metal) gives 75 power and burns Fuel Cells. Keep it topped up: when the fuel runs out, the base loses power.

Vehicle fuel. Vehicles run on Vehicle Fuel Cells, which you refine from raw Fuel Cells:

Vehicle fuelSmall Chemical RefineryMedium Chemical Refinery
Small Vehicle Fuel Cell25 cells, 15 s20 cells, 10 s
Medium Sized Vehicle Fuel Cell45 cells, 20 s, 15 ml40 cells, 15 s, 15 ml
Large Vehicle Fuel Cell—80 cells, 15 s, 30 ml

Keep a spare vehicle fuel cell in the trunk on long rides. Running dry on open sand leaves you stuck right where sandworms hunt.

Other recipes:

  • Low-grade Lubricant: 1 Fuel Cell + 1 Silicone Block = 5 (Medium Chemical Refinery).
  • Industrial-grade Lubricant: 6 Fuel Cells, 4 Silicone, 5 Spice Residue = 10.
  • Spice-infused Fuel Cell: 30 Fuel Cells, 48 Spice Residue, 2 Irradiated Slag = 10.
  • Incendiary Gel: 5 Fuel Cells + 10 Salvaged Metal = 50.
  • Rockets: 20 Fuel Cells + 4 Duraluminum Ingots = 10.
Where is the best place to farm Fuel Cells?

The Southwest Ironworks in Hagga Basin (176 wreck nodes nearby). For containers, Khidr's Shadow has 22 that always drop Fuel Cells.

How do you make vehicle fuel?

Refine Fuel Cells at a chemical refinery: 20 cells make a Small Vehicle Fuel Cell at the Medium Chemical Refinery, or 25 at the Small one.

Do I need a cutteray for Fuel Cells?

For the large wreckage pieces, yes, any cutteray. Small cells on the ground are picked up by hand.

What uses Fuel Cells at a base?

The Fuel-Powered Generator, which gives 75 power and burns Fuel Cells over time.
