Notes[edit | edit source]

Tips[edit | edit source]

  • Since Mutagen Samples are considered a rare drop on Eris while being uncommon on Deimos, it is advised to visit the latter when attempting to farm the resource efficiently.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Mutagen Samples had several changes to their drop locations.

From Update 8.0 (2013-05-23) to Update 10.0 (2013-09-13), they could drop from Eris and Jupiter, which at the time were controlled by the Infested.

From Update 10 to Update 14.1 (2014-07-30), they were limited to the Orokin Derelict, which became Deimos in Update 29.0 (2020-08-25).

From Update 14.1 (2014-07-30) onwards Eris could drop Mutagen Samples once more.
