How to Get Anomaly Shards in Outriders

Along with Leather, Titanium, and Iron, Anomaly Shards are a crafting resource in Outriders. You will receive them whenever you dismantle an item in the game.

In Outriders, higher-tier weapons can be upgraded with bonus attributes to be made even more useful in combat. These Attributes have 6 upgrade stages available, and Anomaly Shards are the resource used in Outriders to raise these bonus attributes through Crafting.

Each attribute in Outriders has its own crystal pool. A crystal icon next to an attribute in the item’s description shows which types of Anomaly Shards you’ll receive upon dismantling.
