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 by destroying Storage Containers, completing low-tier Bounties, and by opening the 3rd Cache in Grineer Sealab Sabotage missions.

Gathering Tips[edit | edit source]
Tips collected from common player experience and should be viewed as advice rather than fact.
- Playing Corpus Excavation, Defense, Survival, and Mobile Defense missions can offer a decent amount of Oxium as well, lowest level being Kiliken, Venus.
- Keeping enemies in an alerted state in Sabotage missions bring a fair amount of Oxium, especially on lower level missions, where more demanding enemies do not spawn right away.
- Io, Jupiter used to yield around 250 Oxium in 10 waves. The updated corpus tileset on Io has negatively impacted the oxium yield. A 10-minute match now only averages around 100 oxium.
Notes[edit | edit source]
Ivara can use
Prowl on the Ospreys, potentially doubling the amount of Oxium dropped by a single unit.
- As it's dropped by a specific enemy and is not a planet-specific drop, it cannot be obtained by using Extractors.
- Sometimes Oxium can get stuck in the ceiling in narrow hallways/locations with a low ceiling, Loot Radar mods (
Animal Instinct &
Thief's Wit) can help locating those otherwise invisible resource drops.
- Oxium can also be acquired from Grineer/Corpus/Orokin storage containers, albeit with a very low chance. Therefore, one should not rely on this source due to it being infrequent.
- As of Update 18.0,
Nekros can
Desecrate Oxium Ospreys.
- Each player obtains a different amount of Oxium from the same pickup, implying that the amount of Oxium contained in a pickup is not pre-determined.
- Recommended manner of dealing with Oxium Ospreys before they self-destruct without dropping the desired resource is incapacitating them before they are able to see the enemy and attack. Otherwise focusing on diverting their attention from fighting (
Terrify,
Radial Blind,
Rest & Rage, and similar abilities) is a good way of approaching the situation.
- Sorties seem to have somewhat higher spawn rates for the Ospreys.

Patch History[edit | edit source]
- (Undocumented) Oxium resource pickups are now green.
Update 23.8
As a result of a review from the Capture Mission changes that affected Oxium acquisition (Galatea, Neptune) and Oxium acquisition as a whole, we have made tweaks to better benefit your Oxium grofit:
- Oxium Ospreys now appear within the first 5 Waves/Rounds of all Corpus Defense/Interception missions.
- Slightly increased the spawn chance of Oxium Ospreys in all Corpus Defense/Interception missions at higher Waves/Rounds.
- Added to Bounty reward tables.
- Increased the amount of Oxium that drops from Grineer Underwater Oxium Caches to 250.
- Oxium Ospreys now drop more Oxium! Increased from 1-2 to 7-12.
- Fixed Feral Kubrow dropping Oxium.
- Oxium added to alert rotation.
- Fixed issue where 1 Oxium was being sold for 10 Platinum, correct Market Price is 30 Platinum for 300 Oxium.
- Added the ability to purchase Oxium through the Market.
- Fixed over contributions resulting in negative Oxium in some clans cases.
- Fixed Oxium description appearing as a file-path in the foundry.
- Introduced.
