Mechanical Components: Location

There are three ways to get Mechanical Components - scavenging, crafting, and recycling.

Scavenging

Mechanical Components are mainly found in the regions marked 'Mechanical' on (all) the maps. Focus on areas with the gear icon and scavenge there (particularly the 'Checkpoint' area in Blue Gate).

Additionally, you can also hunt down Leaper, Bastion, and Bombardier Arcs as they're known to drop mechanical components too.
