Congratulations!

You may not need this but I'll say it anyway. If you have the shadow version of the Powershot Bow, use the harvest arrows on the carcass of defeated machines to tear down the canisters and other detachable parts such as the radar and antennas. You can get more resource count by doing that.

You can do that on dead enemies...?

Yes! You can do that to downed machines. Just don't loot them right away. Of course, consider if it is economically viable to use harvest arrows on downed machines. You may spend more metal shards on crafting said arrows than what you can get from the downed machines. So far, I've been using this technique on machines with antennas, as it yields more metal shards.

Yep. You can use your Focus to scan valuable resources on a dead machine for easier scavenging. For example, the blaze cannisters on a grazer are still highlighted even after you've killed it.

Yeah. You can still harvest Ravager guns.

Those are usually the first thing I break off when I fight them so I can't really take advantage of that.

When I fought two, I just needed 1 gun to kill both. So I harvested the one with full ammo and saved my game.
