Some advice for getting this mod for those on the PS4 who haven't yet seen Operation: Breeding Grounds.

Nauseous Crawlers do not spawn inside Orokin Derelict missions so ODD and Vault runs are out of the question.

What the pattern seems to be is that when an alert comes up and it's against Infested, it seems to primarily spawn almost exclusively one type of crawler or no crawlers at all. This means if you see a Toxic/Electric/Lobber/Normal Crawler then you're best just doing the objective and getting out of there.

If you do an Alert against Infested and you see a Nauseous Crawler there is a good chance that the Alert will primarily spawn Nauseous Crawlers, stick around for as long as possible and kill as many as you can. After you complete the objective it's worth backtracking and running around the map a bit to get some more enemies to spawn (assuming it's not an Exterminate). Eventually though the enemy spawns will dry up and you'll want to head to extraction at that point.

Did this today on the Nuovo (Ceres) Alert (Capture against Infested) and was lucky enough to have a Nauseous Crawler drop the mod, I also recommend you bring Helios along as I got 2 scans on Nauseous Crawler Eximus added to my Codex.

If you don't fancy doing every Infested Alert that appears in the hope there will be the right Crawler type and generous enough to drop the mod, transmutation is also an alternative. When transmuting mods, Rarity and Polarity can effect what you will get from the Transmutation process. Homing Fang is an Uncommon Mod with a Bar polarity so it's recommended you use mods with the same rarity and polarity, Convulsion and Concussion Rounds are good mods to transmute as both can be acquired in reasonable quantities from ODD missions. Each Transmutation attempt will cost 24,000 Credits so I only recommend transmutation if you have plenty of cash to waste.

For those on the PS4, I hope this helps until Operation Breeding Grounds comes out. Until then, best of luck.
