What are mutations in Fallout 76?
Mutations are effects that are inflicted on a player when certain conditions are met. They can introduce debilitating effects that the player must manage until they find a cure, but they also introduce some positive effects. For example, while the Adrenal Reaction reduces your maximum HP by 50, it gives you a bonus to weapon damage while at low HP. Avoiding mutations may be ideal for some people that want to keep their human as pure as possible, but for those who wish to alter their DNA, there are certain ways that you can expedite that process. These include:
Standing close to any hazardous waste. Interacting with any of the petrified corpses. Eating unpurified food or drinking water. Swimming or standing in pools of water. Breathing in noxious gasses. Being attacked by toxic enemies or Feral Ghouls.
How long does a mutation last?
Mutations are almost permanent once you obtain them, with the only way to remove them entirely being to chug some Radaways. You can of course just expose yourself to more radiation to change your current mutation, however this just replaces one with another. Dying won’t remove your mutations, so if you have any mutations that you were hoping to keep, an untimely death won’t be a worry. There is a perk however that allows you to keep your mutations. Starched Genes is unlocked at level 1 in Luck and when upgraded to its second rank, it will ensure that you never mutate from rads and Radaway will never cure mutations. If you wish to have mutations in your build and want to ensure you never lose them, grab this perk and upgrade it.
Where to find mutation serums
Sometimes, you’ll purposely want to have a certain mutation or suppress the negative effects of your current mutation. To do this, you’ll need to obtain serums, which are only able to be crafted with the use of serum recipes. All of the serum recipes are found in The Whitespring Bunker and are sold by the “MODUS” science terminal in the science wing. They do cost a lot of caps though, 24,000 per recipe to be exact.
