Core Collection

Once you finish the first vehicle for Scooter's initial line of missions, this becomes available from Marcus.� While this quest is active in your log, Crimson Lance will drop 3 types of power cores - shock, power, and speed(?).�  Besides being objects to collect for the quest, each one gives you a temporary buff.�  Perhaps someone can confirm if certain Lance only drop certain types of power cores. (ie. maybe Shock Lance only drop 'Shock Cores')

�

'Shock Cores' recharge your shields and emit static bursts which will hurt the shields of enemies around you.� The bottom of your screen will have a blue asterisk/snowflake animation.

'Power Cores' increase melee damage and projectile damage.� The bottom of your screen will have a red asterisk/snowflake animation.

'Speed Cores' increase your run speed and and give you a temporary boost to the XP that you gain from killing enemies. [note: not sure if "speed core" is the correct name for this one] The bottom of your screen will have a green asterisk/snowflake animation.
