Notes[]
Tips[]
- 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[]
- 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.
