Vitus Essence got nerfed so bad

[Neko]

I really regret not farming it way before they nerfed it, after 4 wave rounds of defense I only got 6 from the 4 wave rounds not even a single drop it feels like its not worth the time anymore same goes to survival mode got 12 drops from a 30mins game

That can be normal without drop chance boosters and Defense is terrible place for Vitus Essence because it spawn limited amount of enemies per wave. Survival, Interception and especially Excavation are the ones you want to play.

I see Defense used to be a god choice to get good drops way back then why I last played

Yeah, it was pretty solid due to spawning a large amount of those Arbiter Drones in a relatively small time period. In the past, some modes took a while to rev up their spawn rate, but defense used to have good speeds from the start. Maybe that was changed somewhere in the last few years?

I noticed a lower drop rate too.

For now, it's just speculation, but seeing more and more people pointing it out visibly, I get the impression that it is in fact , a thing.

Excavation and Disruption are the best missions. They're much faster, albeit with Excavation you do need a good team so you can tackle multiple excavators at a time.
