Regular Reclaimers

A regular Reclaimer is a Zeno device in Returnal that will take a part of Selene’s Integrity in exchange for valuable items and recycling resources. These Reclaimers are denoted with red lights. Every time that your character interacts with it, she will lose part of her health in exchange for the item received. Why would you take that risk you may ask? Because the items in exchange are some of the rare items and artifacts that are otherwise hard to find in the game. So if you are willing to take the risk of losing your valuable health for some really rare items, go ahead and interact with it.
