Farming Grendel is even more painful with the increased Eximus spawn

I just finished grinding all parts of Grendel and oh my god, it was painful. It was very painful and tedious 😣.

I had tried to do it earlier (before the 1999 update) and I was failing for various reasons; most notably in Survival where the life support seems to be running on copium so it finishes so damn fast even if you keep up the kill rate (the little capsules sometimes just don't spawn for a while). I finally cleared it using Hildryn after failing once with her too.

Second time, I decided to constantly break any containers I found and that helped a lot with the little life support capsules. Hopefully this tip is useful to any fellow Tenno who runs out of life support 🫡

I did Excavation and Defense with Caliban; the Summulyst helped divert enemy aggro from the objectives a lot. With the increased Eximus spawns however, it was a pain keeping energy up in the Excavation when the enemies went past level 40 and all I could see were red & blue bubbles forming everywhere I looked. Same thing happened with the last 3 waves of the Defense mission.

All in all, while it was a fun challenge overall, it did get a little annoying considering how nerfed you are (no mods etc) and how buffed the enemies get (more Eximus).

DE, please do check that out for other Tenno who will do the grind later. I don't think the increased Eximus spawn should affect EVERY sector of the game.

Edit: I forgot to mention that in the last 3-4 waves of Defense, some special unit of Corpus is spawned that completely disables your abilities (I forgot it's name but it shows up in the Index too). That was not fun at all considering your abilities are all you have left to fight level 30-40 Eximus with.
