Where to find rods to complete Cutthroat Competition in Marathon

Cutthroat Competition is Traxus' first priority contract in Marathon after signing up with them in Introducing: Traxus. While it sounds simple on paper—grabbing two rod salvage items from a specific location—the area in question is a hot zone for PvP and PvE shootouts. In other words, it's hard to find a second to actually hunt for the quest items.

To save you from getting gunned down and failing to make any progress, but also risk losing your loot, I'll explain what you need to do to complete Cutthroat Competition below.
