Oxium

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 TipsEdit

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 (500 with Nekros Desecrate). The updated corpus tileset on Io has negatively impacted the oxium yield. A 10-minute match now only averages around 100 oxium (200 with Nekros' Desecrate).

NotesEdit

• 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 and similar abilities) is a good way of approaching the situation.
