Adaptations are a type of character released as variants on the Hunter and Monster characters of Evolve, designed to provide a fun way to extend the gameplay. They feature a new character skin, a unique twist on each piece of equipment that often reverses or completely changes the character's archetypal role inside their class, as well as new visual effects and sound effects for each of the characters abilities. The characters voice-over is unchanged, aside from Renegade Abe, who has a minor filter to emulate the effect of his gas mask.

They began with the release of Meteor Goliath and have since covered each of the base hunters immediately available in Evolve. Additional adaptations were added later on in Evolve: Stage 2, with more unique changes such as hunter classes swapping their role to another class. Some character adaptations were planned during the game's development, (Lazarus, Bucket, Hyde, Slim, Jack, Wraith) but were never released.

Released Adaptions

Meteor Goliath

A tanky, lighter Goliath with less single target damage, but more incremental and area of effect damage.

Blitz Markov

A chromed-out Assault with a focus on carefully positioning mines and beams to inflict less reliable damage with a larger capacity for destruction.

Rogue Val

A black ops Medic with area of effect healing and a great deal of personal survivability and damage but less overall support functionality.

Wasteland Maggie

A post-apocalyptic Trapper who deals more damage with less control of the monster. Daisy also gains a flamethrower.

Tech Sergeant Hank

A grizzled military Support less useful in a pinch but capable of over-preparing hunters for any fight.

Elder Kraken

This adaptation of the Kraken trades out his ranged attacks for a more direct approach to combat.

Released Adaptions (Stage 2)

Electro Griffin

A whimsical version of Griffin taking a much closer and personal approach against the monster.

Quantum Caira

A high-tech Medic harnessing the power of atoms to create damaging and healing fields on the battlefield.

A lightly armored Support taking on a more aggressive playstyle while requiring a little more aiming skill.

Glacial Behemoth

An ice-themed Behemoth with many area denial attacks inflicting considerable DoT at the expense of slower casts.
