Where to Find the Holtzman Amplifier in Dune Awakening
Don't let those Sandworms scare you.
Some quests or contracts in Dune Awakening are so confusing and hard to find, even with an objective marker. It happens to the best of us, and most players encounter that problem when looking for the Holtzman Amplifier from the Wrecking Crew contract.
Here’s a quick guide on the Holtzman Amplifier’s exact location in Dune Awakening.
How to Get the Holtzman Amplifier in Dune Awakening
The Holtzman Amplifier is located inside the wreckage of the ship of the Alcyon. You’ll need the Holtzman Amplifier to finish the Scrap Mettle: Wrecking Crew contract, which gives you 350 XP and 2,000 Solari coins upon completion.
From the Tradepost, go east and look for the wreckage. The ship should be easy to spot, including the entrances. There’s an entrance to the north, which brings you to the bottom floor, and another entrance to the side, which is the top floor of the ship.
Before entering the ship, ensure your hydration is high because there aren’t any nearby water sources. You’ll also be exposed to the sun when looking for the ship’s entrances.
The ship should be filled with enemies. You’ll usually encounter two to three melee scavengers along with two to three ranged scavengers at the same time. Once they are alerted, they’ll usually engage you as a group, so you’ll have to be prepared to fight them.
There are times when there are fewer enemies, but it could be because some other player cleared the area first.
While clearing, look for crates and boxes so you can obtain materials such as Mechanical Parts, Spice-Infused Copper Dust, Plasteel Microflora Fiber, and other useful resources.
Approach the ship from the north entrance, go to the bottom floor, and look at your compass. From this level, you’ll see that the Holtzman Amplifier objective is on a lower level.
Head toward the marker. There should be a short staircase leading to an open room with control boards, tables, and random crates.
Pay attention to the marker’s location; you’ll see a case above the machinery. Open the case, and it should contain the Holtzman Amplifier along with some Solari coins. You can continue looting the area or go back to the Tradepost to finish the contract.
There are a lot of Solari coins inside the ship, and they also respawn frequently. It can even be a reliable way of getting some consistent currency early in the game, which makes the wreckage a great starter base location.
