Talk:Oberon/@comment-77.10.132.236-20181226190834

I just learned of a super simple but very rewarding index farm method to get tons of credits (small/inside map layout pre

You need an Oberon with max range & duration, bit of efficiency and completely ignoring strenght (my build has 40%). The rest of the team does not matter too much, usually its one carrier who gathers the points (mag with greedy pull or rhino) and 2 backup dps (Mesa/Excalibur Umbra in operator mode). All members need the Shield Disruption aura (or a combination of the aura and coaction drift).

Now here is the juicy part: Oberon simply casts hallowed ground around the 2 point deposition stations and thereby covers all possible enemy spawn points with his radiation field. Seeing as all the corpus enemies rely heavily on shields but spawn without them thanks to the aura they die instantly on the spot (weak vs radiation, and guess what damage type hallowed ground is). DPS stand on each corner to mop up possible survivors (mechs), while carrier gets all the points. You can stay for 7-10 rounds to maximize profit, then repeat.

Couple things to note: Only the small/inside map works as the enemy spawn points are fixed here (around/above point deposition stations). On the outside/big map the enemies spawn wherever the host is instead, so you need additional tactics and preparations (or simply do as I do and leave until your team gets the inside map). Many people will wonder why I recommend Umbra as backup-DPS. That is because when you go into operator your Umbra behaves like a Specter, meaning he gets all the benefits of the AI (Hitscan/aimbot/ignores reload etc.) while benefiting from your mods (normal specters from your foundry dont). So give him a Kohm or a Sniper Rifle, go into Operator mode and watch that boi oneshot enemies faster than you can say peacemaker. Umbra is also very good in unoptimized pug index groups as unlike mesas pewcemakers he has no range limit, no energy cost and all the AI benefits.

Enjoy!
