In brief

Holtzman Actuators are essential strategic components in Dune: Awakening for crafting anti-gravity equipment and advanced vehicles. This guide details the best methods to obtain them, from exploring POIs to recycling, as well as dismantling crashed Ornithopters, which remains the most profitable technique with up to 230 actuators per wreck.

Raw materials are a critical issue on Arrakis, where everything seems hard to access. Among the most sought-after components are Holtzman Actuators, needed to craft vehicles and anti-gravity equipment. This guide will help you acquire them efficiently to progress in your adventure in Dune: Awakening.

How to obtain them?

Holtzman Actuators are a strategic resource within the Dune: Awakening ecosystem. Their rarity and their value for those looking to develop advanced techno-structures make them a crucial resource to have. Here are all the ways to acquire these precious components:

Exploring material caches

The most reliable method relies on exploring the many points of interest (POIs) scattered across the open world of Arrakis! In shipwrecks, Imperial research facilities, or even bandit camps, you may sometimes find material caches containing these precious actuators. Scan your surroundings often, as some caches are located in hard-to-reach spots that may require climbing or specific equipment.

Recycling spare parts

The second method involves recycling certain parts from vehicles and tools. This alternative is extremely suitable when you have outdated or simply unused equipment. Don't let it gather dust, turn it into raw material! To recycle efficiently, you need to set up a base workshop and acquire the necessary skills. Yields vary greatly depending on the items recycled, but this method allows you to make the most of unused equipment.

Recovering crashed Ornithopters

Locating and dismantling crashed Ornithopters is the best (and only) method to obtain Holtzman Actuators in bulk. These aircraft wrecks send up large columns of smoke, an aerosol visible from a distance with binoculars. To have a chance of salvaging these wrecks, a Tier 2 cutter (Iron tier) is the bare minimum. With this tool, you'll be able to cut the various parts of the ornithopters by following their structural weak points. However, you must proceed in predefined stages: first the wings, then the hinges, and finally the hull and cockpit. A dismantled ornithopter can indeed yield 100 to 230 Holtzman Actuators, making it the most profitable production site. Bring extra inventory modules on your sandbike to carry your loot.

Crashed ornithopter locations

Ornithopter wrecks can be found at several specific locations on the map. Here are the main locations where you can find them:

  • The Hammer (at the top, near the hidden schematics cache)
  • God's Table (on the upper slope of the mountain)
  • Between The Alcyon Wreck and Kaleff Bastion
  • At the top of Mirzabah Head
  • Northeast of The Pallas Wreck (PvP zone)
  • Near the Northwest Forges, on the east side of the rock formation

Note

These locations are not permanent and may change depending on servers or updates. Pay close attention as you travel, and don't hesitate to explore other areas to find additional potential spots.

Uses of Holtzman Actuators

Holtzman Actuators are essential components for crafting many high-level pieces of equipment. They are notably used to create reconnaissance Ornithopter thrusters, advanced personal shields, or suspensor belts. This equipment provides a considerable advantage in Arrakis's hostile environment: it lets you move faster while exploring dangerous territories, or grants you real protection against various threats. An abundant supply of Holtzman Actuators is therefore essential to tackle the game's advanced phases with peace of mind.

By applying these Holtzman Actuator collection techniques, you'll gain a significant advantage in your progression through Dune: Awakening.

Frequently asked questions

Where can you find crashed Ornithopters on the map?
The main locations include the top of The Hammer, God's Table, between the Alcyon Wreck and Kaleff Bastion, Mirzabah's Head mount, northeast of the Pallas Wreck, and the Northwest Forges. However, these locations may vary depending on the server and updates.
What equipment do you need to dismantle an Ornithopter?
You need at least a level 2 (Iron level) cutter to start dismantling. Also plan for extra inventory modules on your sandbike to carry the 100 to 230 Holtzman Actuators you'll collect.
In what order should you dismantle an Ornithopter's parts?
Dismantling follows preset steps: start with the wings, then the hinges, and finish with the aircraft's hull and cockpit.
What are Holtzman Actuators used for?
They are essential for crafting high-level equipment such as scout Ornithopter thrusters, advanced personal shields, and suspensor belts, which are crucial for progressing through the game's advanced stages.

Key takeaways

  • Crashed Ornithopters are the best source of Holtzman Actuators, yielding between 100 and 230 units per full dismantle.
  • A level 2 Iron cutter is essential to efficiently dismantle aircraft wrecks following a precise order (wings, hinges, hull).
  • The locations of crashed Ornithopters vary by server, requiring exploration and constant vigilance.
  • Recycling scrap parts allows you to turn your obsolete equipment into useful components.
