farming the index mods

[Dr. Pea Tea]

i finished doing endurance now i want to farm there mods which difficuty should i play (e.g. mission 1, 2 or endurance) also should i solo or play pubs?

[Dr. Pea Tea]

i should also mention i dont really care for the credits and just want the mods

[fragball]

i got the most drops in the easy mode/solo and very few drops in gold/solo. i don't think there is any better drop chance depending the difficulty (yet).

[PhellAsleep]

I wonder if the difficulty determines what mods drop. Farmed the lowest difficulty for almost 20 mins and got 8 mods from all the different enemy types, but turned out to be the same 2 mods over and over.

So thoughtful of DE to give us another heal mod for pets, that already can be healed, revived and are tanky ♥♥♥♥♥♥ but nothing like this exists for sentinels and still DE claimed they wanted to make them more attractive for players... jea right

ye i was dissapointed it didnt work on sentinels, my dijiin could have used it. With Life Steal from melee i dont really need this mod...

shamelessly bumping this here and missusing it for my own needs (well, it is about farming those mods at least ;)
i tried to find out if using nekro(prime)s most loved ability (and its not the shadow one) helps with the chance of dropping said mods - it should be, for nothing actually speaks against it, but it's bit of a bother to do the empirically test all by myself (yeah, i'm too lazy for it, ok?). so the question is: is there anyone less lazy than me and did dozends of run with our beloved corps-despoiler and can give me (all who cares) a feedback?

Used both Nekros and Hydroid, it only spawned mod for me once, and that's it. Rather go a run with Rhino so you can gib some more than with Nekros.

If you want to farm them: go first mission, first investment, you'll need trinity/nekros/hydroid/slowa. Mission you want is the one thats inside building where on their spawn there 2 turrets, ev can spam that turret for energy while hydroid spams his ult and so on. Only problem is that they have low spawn timers (i think they have same spawn time on all missions and can't exeed 4 executioners for mission), also you don't want for mission to have zanuka or raptor, since those arent affected by tentacles, best are humanoids and bursa since they should all die easy to hydroid. Comba units drop detron mod, mechanical units drop sentient mod and those white-red suit ones drop prova mod, best set of enemies would be 3 humanoids and bursa hence gives chanse for all rare mods.

If I'm not mistaken, you will always get a matching team of enemies. So you have no other choice than to farm that raptor+zanuka team as well, if you want the corresponding rare mod.

Its all random as for who you get, i had plenty of times executors not beeing one of two zanukas and raptor, but humanoid ones with auditor(the bursa one.)

its is not random, its random against a TEAM not individual units. its impossible to get more then 1 type of rare mod at any given time

[Nichtdermann]

You might not be able to get 3 teams at once, but you can get 2 of them at same time. Since i do recall having comba units and auditor which supposed to be in mech team, since its only team that has 4 members, if i remember it correctly.

hmm, i'm very much sure, you always get one of the 3 teams (with all four team member of it) - no misc-team.
i played all 3 index rounds several times and all 3 risks in them too... it was always one of the teams.
as for my question about nekro, i'm still not sure if he works with the mod-drop there - he sure use desecrate on them (for that is noticable when he his health with despoiling them) but if it affect the mods drops is hard to tell (these mods are after all handled a bit different then our run off the mill mods... or, maybe not... ).
still, i only got a lot of the uncommon mods from all 3 teams - not a single one of the rare mods.
and yes, it seems that the fastes way to "farm" them is the index 1 "bronze" risk mission - for you can stay in there much longer with less danger of dying and therefore providing easy points for the enemy team. higher risk or higher index rounds does not yield more mod-drops it seems - only takes much more time and gives out more credits (and is more fun).

without collecting the index points? i don't think i have seen that
but they do seem to be rather uncaring about sharing, with markers
i think maybe 50/50 care/notcare; but could be skewed more 'evil'
.
i have heard from others that nekros is desired, but could just be 'because'
