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 specifically.
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 Orokin Derelicts (which then became Deimos in Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)), and from Update 14.1 (2014-07-30) onwards Eris could drop Mutagen Samples once more.
