Oxium

"Oxium is a rare lighter than air alloy of Orokin origin."

- In-Game Description

Oxium is an uncommon component. Dropped by the uncommonly encountered Oxium Osprey with a guaranteed drop rate, it can be found in quantities of 7-12 and will only drop if the Osprey is killed before it destroys itself by charging against the player, an ally, or a wall.

Oxium can also be found in the Orokin Void by destroying canisters, as rare loot in Corpus canisters, Grineer containers or opening Grineer caches in Orokin Derelict Sabotage missions.

Gathering Tips
''These tips are based on opinion and may not be true. They should be viewed as advice and not solid fact.''
 * Playing Corpus Defense, Survival and Mobile Defense missions can yield a decent amount of Oxium per run. (Easiest Corpus Level is Kiliken, Venus, a Defense mission)
 * 10 waves of Defense on Venera, Venus can yield around 100 Oxium if extracted properly.
 * Ara, Mars can give roughly 100 units in 25 minutes with a 2-player team.
 * Playing on Cerberus, Pluto can yield about 300-900 Oxium in 4 Rounds. (Depending on total Osprey kills)
 * Baal, Europa can yield 50-150 Oxium per run with a 4-player team.
 * Doing Sabotage, Capture, and Deception missions while being as loud as possible by destroying all enemies can yield a fair amount of Oxium, especially on Venus, where there aren't too many high-level enemies. Just don't let the targets escape in Capture.
 * Some Corpus Alerts can yield a high amount of Oxium.
 * Alerts may also have a higher spawn rate of Oxium Ospreys.
 * An easy way to kill the Oxium Ospreys without getting them to self destruct, and therefore not drop any Oxium, is to use Frosts Freeze ability and quickly killing them while they are slowed down or using Nyxs Mind Control which will deal high damage to it when the effect ends.
 * As of, Nekros can desecrate Oxium Ospreys.
