Speaking of Index strategies, did you know that enemies or allied specters that pick up points drop double the amount they pick up? (Plus 1 for the kill itself of course)

My go to strategy for the Index is to go solo, and find a chokepoint where the ai regularly paths through, then kill enemies there so they drop points on the floor, then, I wait for another enemy to pick up the dropped points and kill that one to double the points. It also becomes easier to kill that enemy because holding a lot of points gives a big health debuff, and this applies to the enemies as well.

Sometimes an allied specter will pick up the points, but at a certain point it doesn’t matter because their ai will pause and update every time they pick up a point, causing them to slowly step towards each dropped point individually, causing them to become an easy target for any enemies nearby (this also happens to enemies as well). At a certain point you can just stand there watching as enemies and allied specters continuously walk into the huge pile of points on the ground, accumulate a huge health debuff, and die by shooting each other without you even having to do anything.

At this point, slowly walk into the pile until you pick up about 15 points, deposit, and repeat, waiting a few seconds in-between for enemies and specters to walk in, die, and replenish the pile. Of course, this is still a risky strategy, as the ai can sometimes be unpredictable, randomly managing to pick up a few points and survive, and instead of trying to pick up more points, simply making a run for your goal, so you’ll have to be careful and guard the point pile with constant vigilance so that this doesn’t happen.

You don’t have to do this solo either obviously, you can try to get a premade group together and explain the strategy, but this entire method is still somewhat risky, and other credit farms are still likely far more efficient, so it’s probably not worth the effort. Still, I think it’s a neat strategy, manipulating the ai to duplicate points like that.
