Fuel Cell is an essential material generally used to generate power inside players' base to protect from storms in Dune: Awakening. You can use it to craft other things like fuel for the bike or materials used in more complex recipes.

How To Get Fuel Cells In Dune: Awakening

To get Fuel Cell, you need to raid camps found throughout Arrakis or purchase some from any Tradepost in Dune: Awakening. Scavenger Camps are most likely to have some Fuel Cells, so explore them first and try to search all the bodies and chests. As for Enemy Outposts, players will often find Fuel Cells in large chests and the enemies' generator.

You can also go around the map and search the ground to find the Fuel Cells or destroy a Vehicle Fuel Cell using a Cutteray to get some. Sadly, Fuel Cells don't appear on the map like Copper and Iron in Dune: Awakening. If players wish to obtain some Fuel Cell without too much hassle and don't mind spending Solari, they can head to any Tradepost and purchase some of the materials. Solari is the currency you use in Arrakis and you can collect some from opening chests, searching bodies, and completing contracts.
