How To Get & Use Iron Ore In Dune Awakening

Upon reaching the Vermilius Gap, players will stop seeing too much Copper and start collecting Iron Ore in Dune: Awakening. The latter is used to make Iron Ingots, which are the primary material for crafting some great tools in the game.

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 South 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 Survey Probe 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.

Where To Use Iron Ore In Dune: Awakening

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:

Items	Materials Required
Mendia's Set	Iron Ingot x45 Plasteel Microflora Fiber x 31 Plant Fiber x22 Spice-Infused Iron Dust x22
Menol's Stillsuit Set	Iron Ingot x32 Micro-Sandwich Fiber x 40 Plant Fiber x19 Spice-Infused Iron Dust x19
Leap Suspensor Belt	Iron Ingot x10 Particle Capacitor x12 Holtzman Actuator
Medium Blood Sack	Iron Ingot x6 Micro-Sandwich Fabric x12 Plant Fiber x6
Olef's Quickcutter	Iron Ingot x12 EMF Generator x8 Spice-Infused Iron Dust x6
Pseudo Pulse-Sword	Iron Ingot x10 Plasteel Microflora Fiber x5 Plant Fiber x3 Blade Parts x7 Spice-Infused Iron Dust x3

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