- As you approach it you should also see an interactive message pop-up in front of it.
- Interact with this and you shall see the words ‘Debris Salvage’ written in front of it.
- Just pick up the said object and use it along with a Shredder back on your Home Base.

| Medium Shredder | 2x Iron |
| Large Shredder | 1x Tungsten Carbide, 2x Iron |
