Harvester is a map condition that spawns a Harvester structure protected by a Queen at a fixed location on each map. Raiders can complete the core activation sequence inside the harvester to reveal special loot containers, yielding legendary Equalizer and Jupiter blueprints.
Core activation sequence
1. Procure three fusion cores
Gather three fusion cores by breaching containers on the Harvester's upper level. One fusion core spawns on the ground in the center of the harvester.
2. Insert fusion cores into central pillar
Interact with the base of the central pillar to open chambers, and insert three fusion cores. All three fusion cores must be inserted in quick succession.
3. Destroy yellow targets
After inserting three fusion cores, twelve pulsating yellow targets appear within the Harvester. Shoot the targets to destroy them. The targets require an estimated 100 damage to destroy. Once all the targets are destroyed, containers open in the center of the Harvester, holding loot including 1–3 Equalizer or Jupiter blueprints.
Harvester defense mechanisms
Along with the Queen's patrol, the Harvester has defense mechanisms of its own. Raiders must avoid these countermeasures while completing the core activation sequence. The Harvester's defense mechanisms disengage once the core activation sequence is complete.
Fire discharge
The Harvester periodically discharges fire, burning any Raiders inside. This is announced by a yellow warning light and warning sound. The exterior venting doors open, allowing Raiders to escape. The harvester also appears to eject a capsule skyward from its exterior.
Electrical surge
After the fusion cores are inserted, the Harvester gains a second defense mechanism. It periodically emits an electrical surge, stunning all Raiders inside and depleting their shields. This is signaled by a warning siren and blue glowing light.

Codex entry
What few Raiders managed to enter the Harvester report an elaborate, layered defense system; regularly purging itself of any external intrusions.
