Note on the Ork Resource

This guide provides information on the Ork resource in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, detailing its uses, acquisition, and strategic importance for players.

This section of the guide is dedicated to understanding and effectively utilizing the Ork resource within Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. Proper management of this resource is crucial for building your Ork armies, upgrading units, and ultimately achieving victory on the battlefield.

What is the Ork Resource?

The Ork resource, often referred to as 'Mekboy Junk' or simply 'Scrap,' is a unique currency in Dawn of War that fuels the Orks' war machine. It is primarily used for constructing Ork buildings, training Ork units, and researching powerful upgrades that enhance their combat effectiveness.

How to Acquire Ork Resources:

• Control Points: The most consistent way to gain Ork resources is by capturing and holding resource points on the map. These points passively generate Mekboy Junk over time. Prioritize capturing these early in the game.
• Destroying Enemy Structures: Certain enemy buildings, when destroyed, can yield a small amount of Ork resources. This is a secondary source and should not be relied upon as a primary strategy.
• Special Abilities/Units: Some Ork units or commander abilities might offer temporary boosts to resource generation or allow for direct resource acquisition from specific map elements.

Strategic Importance:

The Ork resource is vital for the Orks' aggressive playstyle. A steady income allows for rapid unit production, enabling the Orks to overwhelm opponents with sheer numbers and powerful, albeit sometimes crude, war machines. Neglecting resource control will severely hamper your ability to wage war effectively.
