How To Get Iron Ore In Dune: Awakening

Iron Ore is mainly located in the Vermilius Gap, which is the area north of Hagga Basin in Dune: Awakening. Similar to Copper, Iron Ore can also be found all over the area where players need to scan the rock with a Cutteray and destroy it to get the ores. However, make sure that the Cutteray has the ability to cut Iron Ores, otherwise, you won’t be able to collect materials. Some of the Cutterays players can use are Cutteray Mk1, Sim’s Cutteray, and Olef’s Quickcutter.

Once you arrive at the Vermilius Gap, try to use the Launcher to scan the map quickly and unlock areas of interest. You can then open the map and zoom in to see every resource location, including Iron Ores. Additionally, you can check out Scavenger’s Camps and Outposts to collect some Iron from chests, and sometimes enemies’ bodies.

Iron Ore can be transformed from raw materials into Iron Ingots using the Ore Refinery in Dune: Awakening. After progressing through the main quests, you will eventually unlock the Small Ore Refinery after researching it. Place it in your base and put Iron Ore and Water to create Iron Ingots. The material is used to create a lot of useful tools. Here are some of them:

It’s advised for players to upgrade their gear by crafting sturdier tools using Iron Ingots, as the Vermilius Gap is a much tougher area than the tutorial area, Hagga Basin.
