Just got little over 30 minutes with 2 clanmates, thought some tips might help:

- Camp in the middle of the map (where the pod usually is). Its an easy to defend spot with only 2 ways of getting to, and enemies don't stop coming. The drops respawn the same place as mods do if they should fall off.

- Save the Lotus drops. You only get 4 (at least thats the most I have ever got) and after those you are on your own. Just keep killing mobs rapidly (we had a vauban to put up a bastille, an ember for obvious reasons and Nova in case we needed a panic button to wipe everyone out)

- Use the Lotus drops when you start getting low (We used one every time we went under 20% because you need time to reach them and to open them)

- The first 10-15 minutes are indeed the hardest, enemies not coming fast enough for the green drops to keep par, your oxygen keeps going down, use the Lotus drops when needed. After 15 minutes, if you can keep killing at a decent pace, oxygen level flattens out, the amount of oxygen you get from enemy drops is enough to keep up. After hitting the 20 minutes you even start to get more and more (if you can still keep up with the enemies) your oxygen will start to increase again. (We used our last Lotus drop after 19 minutes just to make sure we made it to 20)

After 30 minutes enemy levels will be around 100 and ancients will come more and more, so then we weren't able to kill fast enough and eventually we ran out of oxygen.

But here's how we did it, hope it helped you guys and as of right now the record is 49 minutes and 8 seconds, made by a 2 man team of Rhino and Nova. Good luck!
