• All quality levels can be found in any difficulty tier, though the chances improve dramatically at higher difficulties
• When a Mutaplasmid is used on a module, both the Mutaplasmid and input module are consumed and an Abyssal Tech module is created

Mutaplasmids come in three quality variations:
