Tracking a {{favilink|salt kraken}} for an indefinite time may be preferrable to challenging a leering stalker for those who value their run over their time. Corpses left in the path of a salt kraken are determined by [[zone tier]], meaning bringing a salt kraken follower to a high-tier area will make the process faster.
A {{name}} [[fitted with suspensors]] can be [[magnetized]] and equipped to a non-colossal creature's two Floating Nearby slots. A second Floating Nearby slot can be acquired by completing [[Tomb of the Eaters (quest)]] or by installing a {{f|magnetic core}}.
* By the time most players should start caring about gigantic equipment, they are assumed to be capable of destroying leering stalkers.
*  In search of a {{name}}, a player who values their run over their time may choose tracking a {{favilink|salt kraken}} over attempting to scrap a {{f|leering stalker}}. Since corpses left in a kraken's path are influenced by [[zone tier]], bringing a [[beguiling|beguiled]] or [[proselytize|proselytized]] salt kraken to a high-tier zone raises the chance of a {{f|giant heap of chrome scrap}} being left in its trail.
** This can also be accomplished using a {{f|star kraken}}, which will be more likely to survive any high-tier aggressors it encounters.

A chassis plate has the highest ♦AV of all back equipment as well as bonuses to both thermal resistances. As each chassis plate is guaranteed to be gigantic, a non-colossal creature must use two back slots to equip one, something only possible for True Kin with an equipment rack implant installed. Also note that while a chassis plate's base weight is 300 lbs., its inherent mod multiplies this to 1500 lbs..

A chassis plate can be butchered from a giant heap of chrome scrap, the remains of a slain leering stalker.
