Salvaging from Mongoose Wreck

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Salvaging from Mongoose Wreck

Hey I NEED HELP!!

When I arrive to Sigma 17, to the Mongoose wreck. I tried to salvage the Blu Blaze cannon, I shot at the wreck the first time and there was pieces coming out in flames...how do I salvage the cannon without destroying it?? I'm just stumped!!!

I'm currently flying a Titan, with its default loadout...

Appreciate the help...Thanks!

Don't fire a full salvo at wrecks, as you might damage, if not destroy, some of the stuff coming off of it -- just using one gun blast is sufficient. However, if you see the guns popping off in flames, that means the wreck has already been looted. In an MP game, someone else got there first. In SP, well, you must have looted it and forgot about it. Anyway, the stuff will respawn after awhile (some people say a week, but I'm not so sure about that), or when the server is restarted in an MP game. The Blue Blaze are pretty good, but the Wild Fire are even better; good luck!

Thanks for the reply...

But here is my situation, I'm playing it in SP, and I can assure you I never found the wreck until today, cuz I finished the game, and I'm looking for some sight-seeing, I thought that It was probably too much power from my guns initally, so I re-loaded the game and the second time I only used my turrent (Level 8 or 9) and fired one dinky shot, and samething happened, pieces just flew out flaming!!!

Arrrrgghhhh------

What am I doing wrong???

So you think I should just move on and come back later on in the game??

Hmm, well, I don't know what's happening, then. It might (and I stress might) be because you aren't high enough level... but, since the first thing I did after finishing the story was get to lvl 38 by doing trade runs, I don't have any experience with post-story exploration at anything below lvl 38. If you ARE lvl 38, well, I'm stumped.

Bah, Diamondback and Cerberus do damage about 10% faster, buy they've got a very average 4.0 efficiency factor. Blue Blaze and Wild Fire have efficiency factors of 4.4 and 4.9, respectively. Other than Nomad guns, of all the c10 guns available, I'll take the Wild Fire.

i have had that "flaming weapons" problem, and i have no idea what it is all about. in mp one server crashed and restarted after a while and i was the first one to get in. then i went for diamondbacks and shot the wreck once with justice turret (i don't think this weapon is too powerful to cause any damage on the weapons) and the weapons came out flaming. This is really annoying because it happens way too often.
