In Dune Awakening, you’ll need to survive on the harsh planet of Arrakis, and if you’re familiar with the movies or the books, you already know just how hostile the land can be. With a wide expanse of desert, every bit of resource you collect can be highly useful. So, whether you’re trying to craft a jar to hold drinking water or a vehicle, you’ll have to rely on the resources that you find throughout your journey.

Copper ore is one of the raw materials that you’ll need to collect through mining. You’ll then need to transform the ores into Copper Ingots, which can be used to craft a variety of items. In this guide, we’ll explore how you can find Copper ore in Dune Awakening and what it’s used for.

The starting area of the game, the Hagga Basin, is flush with Copper ore. You will be able to identify the ore by its dark color and bluish veins. So, you should look for these inside enemy camps and out in the world. Mining the ore will require you to use the Cutteray tool. You will get one during the initial portions of the game, and it’s good enough to help you collect Copper ore. However, if you want to salvage more of the material, you can also try to upgrade the Cutteray.

After you have launched a probe, you will be able to find copper ore locations on the map too. Simply zoom in as much as possible and find the rock icons throughout the Hagga Basin region to look for copper ore. Mark these locations on the map, and that should make it even easier to reach the exact spot.
