To smash the Planetary Assimilation Piston:

1. Enter Area: Breach Executable.
2. Extract Samples shaped like Digital Cubes from the Ground.
3. Deposit the Samples in the nearby beacon emitting white light.
4. Locate a Planetary Assimilation Piston spawned somewhere in the area. It is a tall device with round, metal plates at its base and beacon-like white digital light emitting from it.
5. Press E or Hold ‘Square’ near a Planetary Assimilation Piston to smash it with a charged Planetary Piston Hammer.

How to charge the Planetary Piston Hammer in Destiny 2?

The Planetary Piston Hammer regenerates charges as players complete Echo activities throughout the system. If the Hammer is completely exhausted, it will regenerate one charge daily by itself.

It is also the only device that can be used to activate the Assimilation Piston, so ensure its efficient use otherwise it may take you more than usual time to complete the Specimen ID NES001 quest.
