Enforcers and Tek Creatures; And can be obtained from Tables, Benches or Lampposts in the Sanctuary, or from the barrels of Fjordur around the beaches. It can be used in the same way as

Metal Pick. It might be more profitable to have a cage with two of any Tek Creature and have them breed, then kill the baby and harvest the metal. the Tek Creature of choice would likely be two Tek Parasaurs.
