How to open the trash pearl in Pacific Drive

In the adventure simulator Pacific Drive, the Trash Pearl is a unique and valuable item that can be found and used to obtain random resources. To understand how to open a Trash Pearl, there are a few key points to consider.

Trash pearls can be found in a variety of locations, such as:

  • Trunks of abandoned cars.
  • Garbage containers in the protagonist’s garage.
  • At gas stations and auto repair shops.

These items appear as shiny objects found in trash and take up four inventory slots. They are large and glow brightly, making them easy to spot.

To open a trash pearl and extract valuable materials from it, you will need a special device called the “Matter Splitter”. However, to create such equipment, you need to significantly advance in the game’s plot and collect certain resources. To create the “Matter Splitter”, you will need:

  • 35 units of scrap metal.
  • 4 electronics.
  • 4 gears.

After collecting the necessary materials, install the “Matter Splitter” in the garage, following the instructions that appear on the screen. You must place the device in the place indicated by the yellow marker. Once the “Splitter” is ready, simply approach it and throw the trash pearls inside. This device will allow you to quickly and efficiently break the pearl, extracting valuable resources from it, which can range from essential materials to unique items.

Note that using other tools, such as a hammer or a recycler, will not give the desired result, as they are not able to destroy this durable shell. Therefore, the trash pearls in Pacific Drive that contain valuable materials can only be opened with a matter splitter. But you will not get this equipment right away: just continue moving along the storyline.
