Shredder Gyros are among the rarer materials in ARC Raiders. They are required for the second expedition project and are also relevant for the Week 10 Trials. The path to obtaining them is clear, but not without risk: Gyros only drop from Shredders, one of the more dangerous enemy classes in the game.
Where Shredders appear most frequently
The best map for hunting Shredders is Stella Montis. This is an endgame area with high PvP activity. The map is therefore only suitable for beginners to a limited extent, but the spawn probability for Shredders is significantly higher here than elsewhere.
Shredders do not appear at fixed points. They often stay behind locked doors, especially in areas that require special keys. So-called night raids also increase the chances of encountering a shredder. In addition, kills under these conditions earn higher scores.
Spawn logic and approach
The exact spawn points on Stella Montis also remain random. It is therefore advisable to visit as many points of interest as possible. The more areas you explore, the higher the probability of finding a Shredder.
For the Week 10 Trials, it is sufficient to encounter one Shredder. However, if you need Shredder Gyros, you must completely destroy the enemy. Without a kill, there is no drop.
Effective equipment against Shredders
Shredders are agile, fast, and well-armored.
Weapons with heavy ammunition are therefore the best choice. Jupiter and Hullcracker are particularly effective as they cause consistently high damage.
In addition, Snap Blast grenades can be helpful in temporarily controlling the Shredder or restricting its movement. This makes it easier to target weaker areas of armor.
Team tactics
Fighting in a squad makes the battle much safer. A proven method is to assign roles: one player acts as bait and draws the Shredder’s attention. The other team members attack from behind, where the armor is more vulnerable.
This approach significantly reduces the risk and noticeably shortens the battle.
Required quantity and time investment
The second expedition project requires 10 Shredder Gyros. In practice, these can usually be collected within about four runs on Stella Montis, even with average luck.
Multiple kills per mission are possible, but there are no guaranteed drops.
