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.
Contents
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.
Where to find Fuel Cells in Hagga Basin
Counts are the wreckage nodes near each named place.
| Place | Type | Wreck nodes nearby |
|---|---|---|
| Southwest Ironworks | Enemy labor outpost | 176 |
| Northwest Ironworks | Enemy labor outpost | 148 |
| Wreck of the Pallas | Shipwreck | 126 |
| Table of the Gods | Landmark | 121 |
| Wreck of the Mithra | Landmark | 100 |
| Southeast Ironworks | Enemy labor outpost | 98 |
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:
| Place | Type | Containers |
|---|---|---|
| Khidr's Shadow | Enemy outpost | 22 |
| Abernath's Descent | Enemy outpost | 12 |
| The Stairway | Enemy outpost | 11 |
| The Spiral | Enemy outpost | 10 |
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 fuel | Small Chemical Refinery | Medium Chemical Refinery |
|---|---|---|
| Small Vehicle Fuel Cell | 25 cells, 15 s | 20 cells, 10 s |
| Medium Sized Vehicle Fuel Cell | 45 cells, 20 s, 15 ml | 40 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.
