If you’re progressing through higher-tier Expeditions in ARC Raiders, you’ll eventually run into objectives that require Shredder Gyros. This item doesn’t appear in loot containers, can’t be crafted, and isn’t sold by traders. The only way to obtain it is by taking down a specific ARC enemy under the right conditions.
What Is a Shredder Gyro?
A Shredder Gyro is a rare, recyclable item dropped exclusively by destroyed Shredder ARC units. It’s primarily used as a resource item rather than a direct crafting component.
Key properties to know:
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – 1 Month Membership
- Rarity: Rare
- Stack size: 3
- Weight: 1.0
- Sell value: 3,000 Raider Coins
- Source: Destroyed Shredders only
Once extracted safely, the Gyro can be recycled or salvaged to obtain core mechanical materials used in progression and upgrades
The Only Way to Get Shredder Gyros
Shredder Gyros only drop from Shredders. They do not appear in:
- Chests
- Containers
- Lockers
- Vendors
- Crafting stations
If you don’t destroy a Shredder during a raid, you will not obtain a Gyro. There are no alternative sources or shortcuts.
Where Shredders Spawn in ARC Raiders
Shredders are exclusive to the Stella Montis map. You will not encounter them on early-game or low-risk maps.
Within Stella Montis, Shredders commonly appear in:
- Interior facilities and corridors
- Locked rooms or key-restricted zones
- High-value points of interest
- Areas tied to late-expedition objectives
They patrol slowly but aggressively and are often placed in areas meant to slow or punish under-prepared squads.
If you’re roaming only open or exterior sections of the map, your chances of finding Shredders drop significantly.
How to Beat Shredders in Stella Montis
Shredders are heavily armored ARC enemies built to absorb damage and punish mistakes. Fighting them carelessly often leads to failed extractions.
Effective Combat Approach
- Use heavy-ammo weapons that can break armor efficiently
- Aim for exposed weak points, especially during movement or attack animations
- Stay mobile and fight from cover to avoid shrapnel bursts
- Use grenades or explosives to stagger and shorten the fight
In squad play, having one player draw attention while others attack from safer angles drastically reduces risk.
Once destroyed, the Shredder drops loot that may include a Shredder Gyro, along with other mechanical resources.
How to Farm Shredder Gyros Without Wasting Runs
If you need multiple Gyros for Expedition projects or objectives, efficiency matters.
Tips to Increase Your Yield
- Fully clear Stella Montis interiors instead of rushing extraction
- Prioritize locked or high-risk zones where Shredders are more likely
- Bring enough firepower to end fights quickly
- Coordinate roles in squads to reduce downtime and deaths
With proper routing and solid combat execution, it’s possible to collect several Gyros across a few successful runs rather than relying on luck alone.
What to Do With Shredder Gyros
Shredder Gyros don’t slot directly into crafting recipes. Their value comes from what they break down into.
Recycling Results
When recycled, a Shredder Gyro yields:
- Mechanical Components
- ARC Alloy
These materials are widely used in crafting, upgrades, and advanced progression systems, making Gyros indirectly valuable even if they aren’t used as standalone ingredients
If you’re short on Raider Coins instead, Gyros can also be sold — though recycling is usually the better long-term choice. Play Now!
