Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps: Locations, Vendors and 24 Recipes

Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps can't be mined or crafted. You either loot them from chests around Mysa Tarill, the territory of the Maas Kharet, or buy them from three vendors at 3,500 Solaris each. According to the community wiki, they go into 24 recipes, mostly the chassis of every vehicle from Mk4 up plus swords and rapiers.

Below you'll find the loot location, the vendors, the 24 recipes from the wiki list with amounts per Mk tier and our own math on how many scraps a full Mk6 vehicle fleet eats.

When you move from steel to aluminum in Dune Awakening, the chassis is where you feel it first. At Mk3, Steel Ingots, Advanced Servoks and Cobalt Paste are enough. From Mk4 on, every chassis also asks for Carbide Scraps.

⚙️ What Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps are

The database dune.gaming.tools reads its values from the game files. We pulled its data at version 1.5.3.7 while researching Diamondine Dust: there, Carbide Scraps are a tier 4 component with no recipe of their own. They share their item text word for word with Diamondine Dust. On the community wiki awakening.wiki it reads: "This industrial byproduct is closely guarded by the Maas Kharet in their most sacred site. Nobody is entirely sure why."

The wiki infobox shows an expression error in the price field. The 350 comes from the page's "Item Data" section.

📍 Where to find Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps

The community wiki (page last edited October 5, 2026, status "In Review") names exactly one source: chests at various spots around the Mysa Tarill landmark in the Hagga Basin. It gives no drop chance or amount, only a screenshot captioned "Carbide Scraps looted from chest".

Per the wiki, Mysa Tarill is the headquarters of the Maas Kharet, a sect that worships sandworms and fights with poison. The same chests also hold Diamondine Dust, so one run covers both components. To see where Mysa Tarill sits on the map, check our Dune Awakening map guide.

• Mysa Tarill: confirmed by the community wiki. Grab the Diamondine Dust too, since you need it for the hull and cockpit of the same vehicle.
• Hand of Khidir in Jabal Eifrit Al-janub: PC Gamer's player guide (June 2025) lists this landmark just north of Vermillius Gap as a second spot you can reach earlier. Neither the database nor the wiki backs this up, so treat it as an unconfirmed community report.

Funcom's patch 1.5.15.0 also shipped a temporary fix for loot containers that wouldn't open. If a chest in Mysa Tarill stays locked, that bug is the more likely cause, not the loot table.

🛒 Buying Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps

According to the database, the same three vendors that sell Diamondine Dust also sell Carbide Scraps, each at 3,500 Solaris:

PC Gamer confirms Zoe at the Crossroads Tradepost for 3,500 Solaris and mentions weapon merchants in Arrakeen and Harko Village. For Diamondine Dust, each of the three keeps 15 in stock. We didn't track that separately for Carbide Scraps. No source says when vendor stock refills.

The price follows a pattern we already saw with the Holtzman Actuator: buying costs ten times the base price of 350, while vendors pay only 18 Solaris when you sell, according to the database. That's roughly 5 percent. So buying Carbide Scraps costs about 194 times what selling them brings in. For ways to fund that, see our Solaris farming guide.

The database also lists one contract that asks for Carbide Scraps. Only turn in your surplus there once your next vehicle tier is covered.

📋 The 24 Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps recipes from the wiki

The amounts come from the community wiki and aren't confirmed by Funcom. Vehicle parts follow the pattern "Buggy Chassis Mk4". Mk4 and Mk5 are built at the Vehicle Fabricator, Mk6 at the Advanced Vehicle Fabricator, 20 seconds each.

Every vehicle chassis

On top of that you need Advanced Servoks and Cobalt Paste, and at Mk6 also Spice Melange. Per the wiki, the Buggy Chassis Mk4 takes 55 Aluminum Ingots, 16 Advanced Servoks and 18 Cobalt Paste. A dash means the vehicle doesn't exist at that tier. More on the individual vehicles in our guides to the Buggy, the Sandbike and the Sandcrawler.

Swords, rapiers and blade parts

Per the wiki, the blades are made at the Weapons Fabricator and the Regis versions at the Advanced Weapons Fabricator, 15 seconds each. Almost all of them also need Blade Parts. The Ceremonial Damasteel Sword additionally takes a Large Blood Sack. For how blades hold up in combat, see our best weapons guide.

Carbide Blade Parts are a tier 6 component: 2 Carbide Scraps, 2 Plasteel Plate, 1 Blade Parts and 50 mL water at the Advanced Survival Fabricator, 3 seconds. Where the plates come from is covered in our Plasteel Plate guide.

🧮 Our math: what a Dune Awakening vehicle fleet costs

We ran the 24 wiki recipes through Python and priced them at the vendor rate of 3,500 Solaris.

Three takeaways matter for planning:

• Mk6 doubles the demand. Each Mk6 chassis eats 15 Carbide Scraps, more than twice as many as Mk4. The six Mk6 chassis alone account for 90 of the 201.
• Vendor stock won't cover Mk6. If all three vendors carry 15 each, as they do for Diamondine Dust, that's 45 Carbide Scraps for 157,500 Solaris. Enough for three Mk6 chassis, not six.
• Weapons are a side issue. A House Sword costs 3 scraps, or 10,500 Solaris. If you only build blades, buying works. If you're leveling up vehicles, farm Mysa Tarill.

One cross-check lines up: PC Gamer lists 7 Carbide Scraps for a complete Scout Ornithopter, exactly the wiki amount for the Mk4 chassis. For your first thopter, see our Ornithopter guide.

⚠️ Where Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps sources disagree

The wiki amounts are higher than the values we read from the database (version 1.5.3.3) for earlier guides. For the Buggy Chassis Mk4, the database lists 6 Carbide Scraps and 41 Aluminum Ingots, the wiki 7 and 55. For the Sandcrawler Chassis Mk6 it's 12 instead of 15. With the lower database values, our math comes out 14 to 20 percent lower.

According to the database, Carbide Scraps go into the chassis of every vehicle. The Treadwheel isn't on the 24-recipe list of the Carbide Scraps wiki page, but the wiki page for the Treadwheel Chassis Mk4 lists 7 Carbide Scraps, along with 45 Aluminum Ingots, 16 Advanced Servoks and 18 Cobalt Paste. Our 24 recipes and our math leave the Treadwheel out; we haven't checked Mk5 and Mk6. Mk3 is clean either way: per the database, the Buggy Chassis Mk3 only costs Steel Ingots, Advanced Servoks and Cobalt Paste. What your fabricator shows is what counts.

❓ Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps FAQ

Can you craft Carbide Scraps?

No. Neither dune.gaming.tools nor the community wiki lists a recipe. You only get Carbide Scraps from chests or vendors.

Where is the fastest place to farm Dune Awakening Carbide Scraps?

The chests around Mysa Tarill, Maas Kharet territory. You'll also find Diamondine Dust there, which you need for the same vehicles.

How much do Carbide Scraps cost at a vendor?

3,500 Solaris apiece from Asmara Efendi, Zoe and Ant Nostrum. Selling them only brings 18 Solaris.

At what tier do I need Carbide Scraps?

From Mk4 on, for every vehicle chassis and for the aluminum-tier swords and rapiers. At Mk3 the chassis doesn't need any.

Are Carbide Scraps the same as Diamondine Dust?

No. They share the same item text and come from the same chests, but Diamondine Dust goes into hulls and cockpits, while Carbide Scraps go into the chassis.

Checked against Dune Awakening Update 1.5 with Hotfix 1.5.15.4 (November 3, 2026) as of November 2026. The official patch notes for 1.5.15.0 and the hotfixes up to 1.5.15.4 list no changes to Carbide Scraps, Mysa Tarill or the chassis recipes. The only loot-related item is a temporary fix in patch 1.5.15.0 for loot containers that wouldn't open.

Sources: tier, vendors, prices, sell value, the contract and the comparison values for the Buggy and Sandcrawler chassis come from the database dune.gaming.tools (from the game files, data versions 1.5.3.3 and 1.5.3.7), pulled for our earlier guides.
