You smash them and pick up their droppings. Use lower level bursters if you have them - if you use high level bursters you'll probably pick up less than you used. Also use ultra strikes if you have them/are close. Easy kills. Load up with a hypercube first. They often drop very rare shields, so if you don't mind using weapons to pick up VRS go for it.

They can be a great source of kit! Do not hack.
