About

The Excavation Rig is a Tek-tier saddle equipped on a Strider to automate the collection of resources from the ground as you travel. When mounted and active, it harvests materials without requiring manual gathering, making it valuable for bulk resource runs across your map.

Spawn it with its GFI code using cheat gfi TekStriderHarvester 1 0 0. Since it has no stack size, you receive one saddle per spawn command. Equip it on a Strider as you would any other saddle to begin harvesting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn a higher-quality Excavation Rig?
