What is a Thermoelectric Cooler in Dune Awakening?

The Thermoelectric Cooler is a specialized component used to keep harvesting tools cool in the harsh Deep Desert. It becomes vital once you begin crafting mid- to late-game equipment like the Cutteray Mk6 or late-game advanced survival gear.

Item overview:

• Type: Crafting Component
• Function: Cools high-end tools used in the heat of the Deep Desert
• Stack Size: 500
• Dropped on Death: No
• Base Vendor Price: 500 Solari

While the description is simple, its utility in the crafting ecosystem is anything but amazing. Thermoelectric Coolers are found in over 11 high-level crafting recipes, and their demand increases as you move further into Arrakis’ deeper zones.

1) Farming in the Deep Desert

For the brave — and the desperate — farming Thermoelectric Coolers directly from the world of Dune Awakening is possible, and it’s free. However, it’s also the most dangerous method due to the highly PvP nature of the Deep Desert.

Where to look:

Thermoelectric Coolers can be looted from shipwrecks located beyond the Shield Wall within the Deep Desert. These wrecks are just outside the more dangerous inner PvP zones but are still PvP-enabled, meaning you’ll need to be extremely cautious.

• Location: Wrecks in the Deep Desert’s outer “safe” zones (still PvP).
• Tip: Farm in off-peak hours or with a team to reduce the chance of being attacked by other players.
• Bonus: Other rare materials drop here as well, so get them as well.

While the drop rate isn’t guaranteed all the time, regular farming runs can yield several Coolers over time since item respawns are faster in the PvP zone of the Deep Desert. If you prefer playing solo or on a smaller budget, this is a solid method — just be prepared to fight (or flee) if things go south.

2) Buying from Vendors

If risk and PvP aren’t your thing, your next best bet is purchasing the item directly from a vendor. Zoe, who operates at The Crossroads Tradepost in Mysa Tarill, sells Thermoelectric Coolers for 5,000 Solari each.

• Vendor: Zoe
• Location: The Crossroads Tradepost, Mysa Tarill
• Stock Limit: 15 Coolers available at a time
• Cost: 5,000 Solari each

This method is easy and expensive, perfect for players who prioritize convenience and have the Solari to spend. Just keep in mind that for bulk crafting, the costs add up quickly and might drain your pocket.

3) Player Exchange and trading

Dune Awakening features a dynamic in-game economy where players can buy and sell resources, including Thermoelectric Coolers, through the Exchange system — a player-driven auction house.

• System: Exchange
• Pricing: Determined by supply and demand on your server
• Alternative: Direct trade at social hubs like Arrakeen, but prices are determined by players.

This method is ideal if you’re patient and resourceful. You may even be able to get better deals than vendor prices, especially if you have other valuable items to barter with. So keep an eye out for prices in the trading hubs.

What can you craft with Thermoelectric Coolers?

The Thermoelectric Cooler is required for some of the most advanced and essential tools and vehicles in Dune Awakening, specifically for the endgame zones. Below are the items you can craft using this component.

All of these recipes also require highly rare ingredients like Duraluminum Ingots, Particle Capacitors, Spice Melange, and Ray Amplifiers, but without the Thermoelectric Coolers, none of them are possible.

Pro tips for farming or acquiring Thermoelectric Coolers

• Stay hydrated: Farming in the Deep Desert depletes your water supply rather quickly. Stock up before heading out.
• Use Lightweight Armor: Speed is your best defense in PvP zones.
• Team up: PvP ambushes are common in the Deep Desert — group play drastically improves survival odds.
• Keep an eye on the Exchange: Sometimes, players post Thermoelectric Coolers below vendor prices, so check on the Exchange hubs regularly.

In Dune Awakening, few components are as essential to late-game progression as the Thermoelectric Cooler. Whether you need it for a new Cutteray upgrade or an advanced compactor, knowing how to source this item can make or break your ability to craft elite gear.

While buying from Zoe is the easiest path, the bold may find more value in Deep Desert wreck farming, especially if you’re already exploring those zones for other valuable resources. The Exchange provides a middle-ground solution that’s great for players who are comfortable with the game’s trading system, but may face price fluctuation.

No matter how you approach it, gathering Thermoelectric Coolers is a rite of passage for any serious crafter in the world of Dune Awakening.
