Light and Heavy Caliber Compressors are crafting components required for fabricating some Aluminum-Tier and above weapons in Dune: Awakening. Players hoping to upgrade their offensive options in the mid-game will want to know exactly where to go find Light and Heavy Compressors for their stockpile.
Fortunately, there are quite a few locations in the later half of the game where players can find this crucial material in abundance. Here’s the breakdown.
How to Get Light and Heavy Caliber Compressors in Dune: Awakening
Light and Heavy Caliber Compressors can be found in large quantities in multiple enemy outposts spread out across the Eastern and Western Shield Wall, north of the Vermillius Gap. The Eastern Shield Wall is more easily accessible from lower-level regions, making it the optimal choice at the start. The Compressors are only found inside chests in these outposts. These chests respawn every 45 minutes (real time).
The following are all locations where players can find Light and Heavy Compressors in Dune: Awakening, including the optimal farming routes in both regions.
All Light and Heavy Compressors Locations in Eastern Shield Wall
- Western Comms
- Ironwatch
- Kief’s Triumph
- Sentinel City
- Southern Comms
- Eastern Comms
- Weather Top
Start from the Western Comms stations in the far left region, then follow the route detailed in the screenshot above to hit all locations one by one. This route is meant to facilitate an easy transition into the Western Shield Wall region’s enemy outposts, eventually coming full circle that players can repeat over and over.
Before venturing deep into new regions to look for crafting materials, make sure to use the Survey Probe to remove the fog of war and reveal all landmarks in the region.
All Light and Heavy Compressors Locations in Western Shield Wall
- The Aegis
- The Keep
- The Nest
- Passage of Artemis
- The View
- Shield Wall Command
- Mysa Overwatch
- The Depot
After clearing Weather Top in the Eastern Shield Wall, players can head west to The Aegis and follow the route from there. After reaching The Depot, it’ll be easy to transition back to the Eastern Shield Wall’s Western Comms directly.
The Aegis is one of only three locations that houses Hydraulic Pistons and Military Power Regulators in Dune: Awakening. Make sure to gather as much as you can during your visit there, as these materials are a requirement for high-level recipes.
