How to farm Mechanical loot

Loot tags tell you which containers an item can spawn in, not a single fixed spot. Pick a map with plenty of workshops, garages, pump houses and machine rooms, clear the containers in those buildings first, and leave the open ground for the way out. Higher-tier areas and map events raise the odds of the Rare, Epic and Legendary items on this list.
