Dispatch Source

Lubricant can be produced passively through the Lubricant Production dispatch mission, which unlocks at Sargen Tankworks. Visit the Tankworks in the open world to trigger the knowledge unlock, then slot the mission into your dispatch rotation to generate lubricant in the background while you tackle other content.

The Tankworks is a useful stop for any player investing in mechanical upgrades, because the same area hosts several additional mechanical production missions alongside Lubricant Production. Most notably, Sargen Tankworks is the unlock point for the A Tag weapon production missions, including the machine gun and flame spitter upgrades used on mech workers. Players who run the lubricant dispatch on rotation can also slot these A Tag weapon dispatches into the same camp queue, turning Sargen Tankworks into a one-stop shop for mech maintenance and combat upgrades.

Notes

• Ores can be processed at a forge to create ingots and other refined metals for crafting.
