Where to Find Ray Amplifiers in Dune Awakening

If you’re working your way through Dune: Awakening and wondering where the heck Ray Amplifiers are hiding, you're not alone. These things are crucial once you start hitting the mid-game—especially if you're eyeing gear upgrades like the Cutteray Mk3 or trying to piece together your first Ornithopter. Yeah, that flying beast won’t build itself.

The frustrating part? Ray Amplifiers don’t just drop anywhere. You actually have to go out of your way to track them down, and some of the spots aren’t exactly friendly. But once you know where to look, things get a lot easier.

Quick tip before we dive in—if you’re short on time or just sick of the grind, check out PVPBank. You can buy Dune Awakening Solari there safely, which helps you skip some of the slog and get back to the fun parts of the game.

Alright, let’s get into it.

So, What Are Ray Amplifiers Even For?

In a nutshell: powerful weapons and tech. You’ll need Ray Amplifiers to craft items like the Cutteray Mk3 (a solid upgrade if you’re using the earlier Cutterays), and they’re also tied into blueprints for lasguns like the Arhun K-28, plus a bunch of other advanced equipment.

Also, if you're even thinking about building your own Ornithopter, you’re gonna need these. No way around it.

They’re not hard to get once you know the routine—but until then, it’s kind of a pain. Let me walk you through the spots that’ve consistently worked for me.

Main Region: Hagga Rift

Pretty much all reliable Ray Amplifier locations are tucked inside Hagga Rift. That zone's full of hidden tunnels, camps, and strongholds—some tougher than others. It's where the real resource grind starts to kick in.

Here are the best spots you should hit up:

1. CHOAM Mineral Extraction Facilities

This is probably the most consistent place to farm Ray Amplifiers.

You’ll find these mining tunnels scattered throughout Hagga Rift. They’re usually underground, so look for paths that go downward—or if you’re the daring type, just jump off a cliff and hope for the best (just don’t forget fall damage is a thing).

Inside, it's raid-style combat. Expect heavily armed enemies and tight corners. But the loot? Totally worth it. I’ve pulled half a dozen Ray Amplifiers in a single run before. There’s also Erythrite Crystals here, which you’ll need later on anyway, so it’s a two-for-one deal.

Just don’t go in unprepared. These places are no joke.

What you’ll need:

• Decent armor (Tier 2 or higher, minimum)

• Reliable mid-to-high DPS weapon

• At least a few stims or healing kits

• Backup escape plan if PvP kicks off

2. The Spiral Stronghold

Further north in Hagga Rift, there’s a place called The Spiral. It’s a stronghold crawling with enemies—but the loot crates here have a decent shot at giving you Ray Amplifiers. It’s definitely harder than the CHOAM sites, but if you’re looking to test your gear and get rewarded for it, this is the place.

Sometimes the crates are inside structures, other times they’re in open areas with turrets and guards around. Bring a probe (more on that later) and scout the area first.

Would I recommend doing this solo? If you’re geared and careful, yeah. But bringing a squad makes life easier.

3. The Stairway Camp (Just South of The Spiral)

Now here’s the good news: The Stairway is way more solo-friendly than The Spiral or the mining tunnels.

It’s basically a lightly guarded camp, and if you head south from The Spiral, you’ll run right into it. This place spawns a good amount of Ray Amplifiers in crates—without throwing an entire army at you.

Honestly, if you’re just farming for Ray Amplifiers casually, this is probably the most chill spot to do it.

Use Probes — Seriously, They Help

I slept on probes for way too long. Don’t make that mistake.

Many of these spots, especially the CHOAM facilities, are located underground or hidden behind weird terrain. If you’re just wandering around, you’ll probably miss the entry points. Probes will show you where to go and help you avoid running face-first into a death squad.

You can craft probes pretty early, and they’re cheap. Use them.

Suggested Ray Amplifier Farming Route (For Real Humans)

Here’s a quick route I’ve been running lately that gets the job done without chewing up my whole evening:

1. Start at The Stairway — warm-up with easy loot and low threat

2. Head north to The Spiral — hit the stronghold, grab some crates

3. Drop into a CHOAM facility nearby — go big or go home

4. Extract or fast travel out — stash your loot, repeat when reset

You can usually do this loop in 30-45 minutes if you’re moving fast and not dealing with PvP drama.

What To Do With Extra Ray Amplifiers?

Besides the obvious crafting use, Ray Amplifiers trade well with other players—especially ones who are all-in on combat and don’t have time to farm resources. You can swap them for rare materials or use them to accelerate your blueprint progression.

Also, don’t forget that newer players in your faction might need them. Help them out, and it could pay off down the line.

Final Thoughts

Finding Ray Amplifiers in Dune: Awakening doesn’t have to be a chore once you know where to look. Between CHOAM facilities, The Spiral, and The Stairway camp, there’s a reliable flow of them if you’re willing to put in a little effort (and survive the occasional ambush).

Remember, this game’s all about momentum. The longer you stall without upgrading your gear or unlocking mobility, the harder it gets to catch up. So make Ray Amplifier farming part of your regular grind.

And if you’re just done with the back-and-forth and want to skip the resource chase altogether, grab what you need from PVPBank—that extra boost of Dune Awakening Solari can really smooth things out.
