The most reliable and direct method to obtain Industrial Pumps is by looting chests scattered throughout the Eastern Shield Wall region. They often contain valuable components, with Industrial Pumps among the potential loot.

Use the interactive in-game map to locate the exact coordinates of chest spawn points to have an effective rotating farming route.

Tips Before You Go:

Equip your strongest gear — strong enemies are active in this region.
Bring healing consumables to properly survive ambushes or prolonged fights.
Travel with a group if possible to make farming more efficient.

The Eastern Shield Wall is not only rich in components like Industrial Pumps but also patrolled by hostile NPCs, so always stay alert during your farming runs.

2) Buying from Zoe at The Crossroads

If you're packing a lot of Solari, head over to The Crossroads Tradepost and look for Zoe, a vendor located near the Ornithopter taxi. Zoe sells the Industrial Pumps for 2,500 Solari each. While this option can be costly, especially when bought in bulk, it's a guaranteed method for those who prefer convenience over farming risk.

This method is especially useful if you need just a few Pumps to complete a critical recipe.

3) Purchasing from other players via the Exchange

The Exchange, Dune Awakening's in-game player-driven auction system, allows players to buy and sell resources, including Industrial Pumps. Prices here are market-driven, meaning they fluctuate based on demand and availability. If you're lucky, you might snag a better deal than Zoe's flat rate.

Trading tip: Check for competitive prices before buying. Some players offer bundle deals for multiple Pumps, making them a cheaper option.

4) Trading at social hubs like Arrakeen
