Here are some of the thoughts I had during that gauntlet.
You might be obsessed with your kill count if...
...you force yourself to play as Nova in public games.
...you get annoyed when someone else in the game is also a Nova.
...you start playing private games as a result.
...you slave-drive your poor, overheating laptop to be a spawn booster mule in your missions.
...you suicide your spawn mule so you don't have to wait the extra minute at extraction. (RNGesus really hated me on this one with those Thunderbolt procs...)
...you start timing your missions so you can calculate (during loading screens, of course!) which types give the best kps (kills per second).
...you realize that the true enemies in Derelict Defense are not Ancient Disruptors, but Runners - because they steal their own kills from you when they suicide.
...derelict defense derelict defense derelict defense OOH YAYY MARS IS INVADED AGAIN
...Vauban was one of your least-used frames, but is now one of your most-used.
...Lights flickered? YOU WATCH WHERE YOU AIM THAT SLASH DASH, ASSHOLE, IT BETTER HIT ONLY ME
...you get mad at how "long" your Ignis takes to reload because invariably, a Runner is about to suicide as soon as your current mag runs out.
...Ignis is now your most-used weapon. (almost true here - beaten only by Acrid due to its OPness in 1.0, but I haven't touched it since 2.0 lel.)
...you pick up a rare mod on your main, but don't bother to move the spawn mule to double up on it.
...FUCKING RUNNERS

FYI, Infested invasion survival (not alerts) give the highest, followed by Infested Mobile Defense, followed by Derelict Defense or Derelict Survival (depending on how lucky you get with the tiles and which frame you're using). To be honest though, they're all pretty close (~.7 kps), but in a Corpus Outpost Infested survival, you can get close to (or even over) 1 kps. ODD is honestly the most accessible and reliable though - 1.3k kills for 25 waves, roughly 30-32 minutes.
