Oxium farming guide
Jupiter — Io (Defense)
Reliable early Oxium Osprey spawns; the wiki cites roughly 80 Oxium over 10 waves on this low-level Corpus Defense.
Boosters help: this spot relies on enemy drop tables.
Lua — Tycho (Survival, Steel Path)
Higher-level Corpus spawns more Oxium Ospreys per minute; running long Survival rotations beats resetting missions repeatedly.
Boosters help: this spot relies on enemy drop tables.
Early game
Io on Jupiter (Defense) is the classic Oxium farm: the wiki cites roughly 80 Oxium over 10 waves here, all from Oxium Ospreys that must be shot down by a player (they don’t drop anything if they self-destruct first). It’s low enough level for a new account to run comfortably, and every Osprey kill is an enemy drop, so Resource Drop Boosters and Resourceful Retriever both help.
Mid & late game
Tycho on Lua (Survival, Steel Path) scales the same idea up: higher enemy levels mean more Oxium Ospreys spawn per minute, so a long Survival rotation here comfortably outpaces resetting Io over and over. Europa’s Paimon and Pluto’s Outer Terminus (both Defense) are solid alternatives if Tycho’s squad isn’t available.
