Mutated drones are created using Abyssal Exigent Mutaplasmids. These are acquired either from Triglavian Bioadaptive Caches found in [[Abyssal Deadspace]], or in the wrecks of Invading Precursors found in [[Triglavian Invasion]] systems. Mutaplasmids are also tradable on the market.

The process of combining a mutaplasmid and an existing T1, T2, or Faction drone "mutates" it into a unique Abyssal drone with the original drone's stats randomly modified (for better or worse). The new drone will have the word Mutated inserted into its name such as Sentry Mutated Drone, and it will have unique stats and thus cannot be traded on the Market (you can trade them via Contracts etc.)

There exist separate mutaplasmids for each drone type and size and each basic drone stat (damage, speed, etc.) "Exigent Sentry Drone Firepower Metaplasmid" as an example. The effects that the mutaplasmid will have on the drone are described in its info. It will specify one or more stats that will be improved (by 0%-20% as an example) and it will alter each of the remaining stats (by -30% to +15% for example, but it varies by mutaplasmid and stat). Each stat change appears to be random and independent. By choosing the appropriate mutaplasmid you can thus guarantee that the stat(s) it primarily targets will go up (maybe not by much), but the rest of the stats are likely to decrease on average. You could, of course, get lucky and end up with a very powerful and valuable drone.
