Nano core farming location (great for scrap too)

So it turns out the Nanite Mass enemies have a rare drop of a nano core. I discrovered this while scrap farming in the Nucleau where the mobile Ops center is on the top floor. Turn left from exiting Ops and tere are two Nanite Mass enemies on a platform up a short flight of stairs. In latye game levelling from 95 to 105, I farmed these enemies like summer squash, and found that they would drop a Nano core every five or so cycles. Later I added the Nano Mass enemy up near the final 10 Overcharge station that opens the gate to the final boss, and found that it (the Nanite Mass) dropped at the same rate. I figure in about 30 minutes of grinding, I got at least six more nano cores, enough to level up three more weapons to Mark V for NG+. In all, my NG game (with the Creo World DLC) yielded enough Nano Cores to upgrade a full set of armor (MG Gorgon) to Mark V, plus a total of SIX weapons. Not bad!

Pro tip, The drop rate increases significantly in NG+ and on.

with creo world you can get 20 cores by default from the locked conduit boxes.
but its not worth it to farm them imo as you can just skip straight to mlk 6-8 in NG+ anyway. so given the droprate and that these enmies are very dangerous on later cycles (that stomp and missle spear will flat out KILL you on NG++ even with 1000 hp) so you would rather avoid them alltogether.
