Fallout 76 All Mutations List & Farming Guide: How to Get & Keep Mutations + Reduce Negative Effects

[@richardoverturf4415]

A couple things I wanna comment are that: #1) The actual mechanics of Mutations are as follow: while suffering radiation damage, per 5 hp irradiated, there is a 5% chance to become mutated. This means that if 100 hp is replaced with rads, you're guaranteed a mutation. #2) Theres a place really far south called federal disposal field HZ-21. You can gain appx 150 points of rad damage per second, making it the fastest way to gain rads. There is no decontamination arch there, so you'll have to use radaway, luckily if you've gotten to the whitesprongs bunker, and have access to the medical wing, you can purchase (for 98 caps, which is a good deal if you ask me) the recipe to create your own radaway. Couple that with the "chemist" perk, and "super duper", you're bound to make a lot of radaway. The train doesnt stop there, you can further use those two perks to dilute the radaway, making it half as effective, but potentially quadrupling your results. (From a non-perk standpoint, based on the x2 for normally crafting diluted radaway, multiplied by 2 for chemist, and then a 30% chance to be doubled again, depending on your level of the "super duper" perk.) Also, theres usually a boss Snallygaster that spawns there, sometimes legendary, as well as a few leveled enemies. Other notable loot is 1-8 radaway, 1-3 hazmat suits and 2-3 damaged hazmat suits, making this a very okay place to farm for general things. #3.) There are actually 2 mutation related perks. One is "Class freak", maxed out it reduces mutation penalties by 75%, which is a must have for anyone doing a build off of mutations. The other is "Strange in Numbers" and it boosts positive effects of mutations by 25%. These are two very important perks, for two reasons. 1, for general gameplay, they help even if your team isnt built around mutations, or teamwork. But, if you have 4 people, at max mutations, you can make some serious work out of these 2 simple perks, and the best part is, only 2 people really need to have them. The empath mutation as well as the hard mentality really play into the teamwork phase, but suck when you're solo, however, if all 4 people have the empath mutation, it is theoretically possible to take no damage, and here's why. Empath makes you take 33% more damage, while reducing your team's damage recieved by 25%. To start it off, if you have the class freak perk, this effect can be reduced to 8.25% (or 1/4) of it's original value. If your team consists of 4 members, this gets even better. With the strange in numbers perk, positive mutations are increased by 25% making the damage reduction 31.25%. Stacking the empath mutation, plus Class Freak and Strange in Numbers will yield you a damage reduction of 85.5%, meaning you'd only receive 14.5% of all the damage you normally would take, even with the 8.25% damage increase (if you have the class freak perk or its shared by your group, and you have the strange in numbers, or its shared.) I am unsure if this extends to radiation damage, but it works on all other forms, for instance, if someone hit you with a gun for 100 damage, you would only take 14.5 points of damage. With armor, you can potentially negate almost all incoming damage (depending on how hard the enemy hits and the armor you're wearing)

[@MrTexasFisherman23]

I agree with most of what you said... but in the nuclear plant in the reactor room there's a pool of water and if you fall into it it gives you +500 rads a second.

@@MrTexasFisherman23 I meant to imply that it's the fastest and safest way to gain rads. There are other, faster areas, but even a bit of lag can mean the difference between mutations and death.

“Nice healthy dose of radiation” nearly dies

[@Crim_Zen]

I found a faster way. I've gotten every mutation twice now... My way might get patched, but the concept is: 1.Get a mutation normally, 2. Die from rad damage to get a set amount of hp, 3. Log out and back in, 4. Find some dirty water, 5. Collect (don't drink directly) the dirty water, 6. Drink the dirty water from your pipboy screen until you either get a mutation or die (you might only see it around 5% hp/ when backing out of the menu,) 7. Repeat from 2 until you have all the mutations you want. Some notes: You need to drink it from the inventory (we tested it and quickbar drinking doesn't work... might be some single player fragment from fallout 4 that increases the odds of the mutation?), You do not need the starched genes to get all the mutations (this is because you lose rads when you die and dying is part of this process... it makes your health values constant for cycling the process,) You cannot get a mutation before about level 5 (same with diseases... you can try, but they aren't happening), Remove any perks that make dirty water rad free, You can safely remove a mutation at a time by hopping in and out of the decontamination machine or by taking rad away (but the mutation removed is random.) Even the negative mutations can be great if you happen to pick up the perk in luck that reduces the effects by 75% (lost special points round up so if it leaves -0.5 of a point you will receive no penalty... the -0.5 specials do not stack to make a -1 special,) The reason you need at least 1 mutation at the start it due to log in state (when you log in, all your values are reapplied; you shoot from max hp down to the rad amount, and the mutated marker shows up on the side of the screen. For some reason, this log in state tells the game that you are either missing a mutation and need to get it fast, like a coding bug, or it resets the time between mutations. There is a visual bug that will double the effect of all the mutations in your effects screen when you log back in... this is just visual.)

This is much faster and I can confirm it still works thanks!

[@redherring4313]

With speed demon, it actually does have a negative effect that only flashes briefly if you access your pip boy while sprinting in power armor or have your pip boy on the "clear" mode. 50% faster health and hunger depletion. Which I suspect may only apply while you're moving as the only time it shows is the tiny frame as you're sprinting while the pip is pulled up.

Exactly. The notes for it say that you have 50% faster food and water loss while moving.

[@JUSTAVGGAMING]

Best thing and my personal opinion and a tip...Guys get caps get caps best thing to do is buy mutation serums that you need or like. What i do is I change my genes perk when ever i want to get rid of rads like this you are not wasting perk points. If by accident you do get rid of your mutations this is why buying recipes for your serum is a must like this you always have the mutation and they cost nothing to make at your chemistry station. Caps are the easiest thing to get within this game. Serums are costly 22,000 caps but trust me it's worth it.

[@fiestylilwrangler9222]

I wish that when you get a mutation, depending on which one you have it would change your character's appearance like if you had the talons mutation, your character would have talons.

if im not mistaken, having the class freak perk on with scaly skin is the reason i have infinite sprinting AP. i can literally run from fissure site prime to vault 76 and never stop, even with jumping. i assume its because the game is trying to lower your AP beyond a point it can't since class freak makes the reduction from -50 to like -13 so you never hit 0. might be patched out on the 4th of december, try getting it. super fun with marsupial and speed demon

You also need “Class Freak” that negates 75% of the negative effects. Having “Strangeness in Numbers” also boosts positive mutation effects for having mutated teammates. Side note if you end up with Herbivore make sure to use the Green Thumb to collect flowers and veggies twice as fast since all meat based (including the xp stews) won’t fill hunger Except for cannibal perk.

Nah, it is a flat 10%. Underwhelming but an extra 180% damage would have been massively imbalanced. The only effects that scales I believe is Plague Walker (which is a mutation that scales with diseases), Adlerian Reaction + Bloody (which increases damage the lower your health) and Junkies (which is a legendary effect that scales with addictions).

[@malataur]

My understanding is that you can buy mutation potions from the Enclave that will give you all the benefits of the mutation but none of the negatives, so you don't have to buy the perk to reduce side effects. Have you looked into them yet? (I haven't tried it yet because they're very expensive and I need to get the 10k caps achievement before I start buying expensive things.)

[@Rust·Spencer·Cohle]

@malataur It still gives you the negatives. It gives you a temporarily effect that reduces the negatives for a short period of time. It's like 1 hour. Then the mutation act like the regular versions.

Oh, well that's definitely not worth it then. Thanks.

[@malataur]

The way they worded it, "Possess 10,000 Caps", makes me not trust them. If they'd said "collect" or "earn" or something, I'd say cool. Only 2.51% of the people have this achievement so far, so I'm going to play it cautious just in case. Thanks though.

[@strawberry-parfait3922]

you are not supposed to have all mutations as they often cancel each other out and require 3 more points then needed it luck so you can skill the class freak perk because otherwhise the negatives would be too strong. for example bird bones and edd head are full negatives if you use power armor and twisted muscle should only be used for meele builds. healing factor is also a negative if you dont have alot of hp/endurance points because it heals less hp the lesser hp you have. scaly skin should not be used by any sneaky/sniper build as you need the ap to aim and run from danger. ideally you get 2 mutations that fit your build and then maybe get a 3rd one by buying a specific mutation at the enclave hq. dont just mindlessly get ALL mutations as it weakens your character.

[@Wolfsquad593]

But remember you can get that perk that reduces the negative effects by 75%. So things that take away like -3 strength or whatever will be reduced to -1. Same with the accuracy penalties and stuff. The mutations would cancel out the negative effects eventually

[@AsapYeyo]

Have you even tried doing it I have a lvl 68 character with 17 mutations and with class freak it practically negates all of it like healing factor chem reduction will reduce to 13% that's nothing lol I'm doing a full mutated sneak rifle build I'll let you know how it goes

[@strawberry-parfait3922]

@@AsapYeyo the point is that 80% of the mutations wont offer your build an improvement AT ALL and ONLY have negative effects. Even if class freak would be 90% negative reduced its still negative. you get a -13 str debuff wich still is -3 with full class freak perk. all positive effects of the mutations that have -str as a negative are completely useless for power armor builds that use heavy weapons like gatlings. Twisted muscles is also a pure negative even with the class freak perk. The unstable isotope mutation can harm friendly players or npcs making you wanted or getting red to whitespring robots and does not enough damage to be useful in combat. and adrenaline reaction is only really useful for stealth builds that let their hp drop low on purpose to boost their sneak crits as you normally stimpack the moment you get to 40% hp. Speed Demon is the only mutation i would consider good for all builds unless its one were you have severe weight problems and have problems with food/drinks. and dont forget that the -3 skillpoints that you need for class freak is also a negative that doesent get reduced at all, wich could be used for strong 3p perks like Blocker or Sun Kissed or One Gun Army

​@@remmyremarius8889 it's all over reddit. it's not just herd mentality however. it's anything that decreases or increases charisma. HOWEVER, at some point i did have it working with herd mentality until one day it didn't. idk what to say there, it just stopped sharing perks when ever i moved. Herbivore/carnivore allows you to eat spoiled food and not catch any diseases from it. so it's a very useful mutation. to add onto that, many reports of the serums not working as "intended" as they will come, and then your mutation will disappear. some have reported that it doesn't even take away the negative effects (could be just a graphical glitch where it does but doesn't state). they're also reports of the serums not working at all either. i could of bought two serums at this point in my playthroughs, but even with server hopping, 2 hours of getting rid of herd mentality and empathy was a lot less time then it would take to get the 6.5kish caps for two serums.

[@ryankl1984]

Luck is super useful, 6 points at least IMO. It also affects loot drops and quality/durability of those items

[@reaverraziel223]

I have had twisted muscles 2 different times, and each time was different. The first time was like what you showed. The second time it only had a negative condition, no positive one.

[@markmcgehee8624]

that's just a bug the game has trouble remembering the stats of mutations

[@PrestonGarvey.]

Would recommend for melee builds, mine does 500+ with super sledge

[@GAMarine137]

Major tip. Pay to get carnivore upfront. That way you never have herbivore. Carnivore is much better. Glowing steaks are great.

[@tarlonis]

I'd been very curious about keeping/using mutations thanks very much for telling us about the Starched Gene's perk, looking forward to it.

[@TastyGamingQc]

Marsupial + speed demon + bird bones = flying

[@DjAceTopDeck]

You just blew my mind

[@davidwestgarth7900]

Thanks dude... Im new to Fallout 76 so this was really help

[@Whoareyoucalling]

Bird bones to me is irrelevant since power armor negates all fall damage. At the cost of -4 STR is way to much just for higher jumping.

[@SobeCrunkMonster]

Bird bones doesnt give you higher jumping, it allows longer falling

[@Whoareyoucalling]

SobeCrunkMonster still though i would choose power armor no fall damage at any height and you get +2 strength in it.

[@chaoticconjuring]

Bird bones is most beneficial with a jet pack. The slowed falling speed allows you to pulse the jet pack and travel farther than without it.

[@allensparks4734]

Get the mine shelter from the atom shop it has a fountain of mutation in the back. A pool of dirty water you have to go do other things for a hour or so then radaway. I'm talking early game before you have all the flux to build a decontamination arch much less the plans for it. I'm 160 still havent managed the flux for it.

Or have the red sponge perk, have a buddy with it and both of you sit in some water... solves the problem of taking care of rads. Especially when you get the healing factor mutation

Yeah but you'll have you wait till LV. 44 to get that perk

[@ms.aelanwyr.ilaicos]

@@kote2630 And you have to be level 46 to get Class Freak. You won't be well served getting a bunch of mutations before then, anyway.

since that Marsupial will always be the one and only BEST i do appreciate the detail in the edits friend god video

[@Kharn121]

Poseiden energy reactor room is also a great spot for this as there's a decon shower right there as well

[@michaeldorso7099]

Guys, I've heard if you take a serum while already mutated with that gene, you can mitigate it and remove it. I'm not 100% sure and I'll run some tests with marsupial but you might be able to control it.

[@travislee561]

There is a power armor to the right of those barrels and a fusion core. Might as well get those while farming mutations.

[@chrishardy3439]

I would think this could be done at a power station as well where you could also take over the workshop and produce/farm fusion cores no?

what mutations would you have if you could only use 3 serums with no negitives, but can still get all the random ones with rads? i like healing factor, marsupial and carnivor with no down sides. grilled rad stag is good.

[@jsimmons9969]

I picked up healing factor and it is a game changer. Heal fully in seconds. Also got herbivore.

[@N7-alpha]

You can add in strange in numbers card to increase the effect of mutations also.

[@Cactus_bud]

Literally wasted all my rad aways trying to get the healing factor, didn't realise you had to quit and reload to get another mutation, thought I must've been doing something wrong. Ah well, least now I know about the radiation showers.

[@drednezroth5369]

I saw where someone said that going to the decontamination chamber won't remove your mutation only radaways will are you sure that the decontamination chamber removes the mutation?

[@RedwoodTheElf]

I already have the Sun Kissed perk (slowly heal rads during daylight) so All I would need is the Starched Genes perk and I could do this pretty well.

[@jerodvel]

Thanks dude, I got marsupial while clearing the yard, nice.

[@kote2630]

You can still farm for mutations at any level, it'll just be harder for anyone under level 30. Dying will remove a percentage of your rads. And make sure you take off any armor you have on.

[@warlordofvideogameglitches]

If you are a herbavore and carnivore you would just be an omnivore speed demon faster and reload faster at the cost of food and water increase.

[@iseverynametakenwtf1]

Wondered why after I got one and rid it, it took so long to get another. Thanks for that info, I had just put off trying again due to time restrictions.

[@MOLE60]

the plague walker mutation doesn't work IDK if it's glitched or what but it doesn't damage enemies and diseases wear down (timer wise) and remove themselves even if you don't cure them .

[@raultelliskivi4155]

Hey guys. While following this found a glitch, where i was checking beside the barrels, if i have starched on. Then rads went the other way and cured me of 2 mutations. So basically (condition: starched genes off): incoming rads + tab > T (for perks) > tab ( for later) = rad degeneration

[@raultelliskivi4155]

Note: I have 6 levels of perks to choose, it might be connected to going levelup menu

[@swolllincoln186]

how man, i always get the damn empath

[@tribsta1018]

HollowedPaladin well at the start U basically have to gamble. Try getting a few you want and if you get something u don’t like get rid. I managed to get 4 of the ones I wanted luckily enough locked them in and used serums for the rest. Be aware there is currently a bug with herbivore and carnivore. If you have them serums won’t work. Hopefully they fix that in the upcoming updates. Google the venders. You can make 1.4k caps a day just from them. So a few days you can buy a serum. Just time basically bud.

[@Krackerjax]

4:20 Starched Genes specifically only mentions Rad away. Are you sure the decontamination arches also remove mutations? Also i dont have enough points in luck to have both starched and class freak (and i want bloody mess!) :( So I have to wait until dec 11 for when we can move our specials around to really get into mutations.

[@Nogard-Nys]

Yes I've used a decontamination arch while having a mutation to test if it removed it, it does in fact remove mutations. The card mentions Rad-Away more so because I doubt players are just carrying a portable decontamination archway in their back pocket, large weapons? Yes, large archway? That's just silly!

[@Nogard-Nys]

@@paolo8665 because he was using starched genes when going through the archway. You need rank 2 to never lose mutations from Rad-Away/decontamination, but to gain them you'll have to take the perk card off and rinse and repeat.

@@Nogard-Nys dude but you just wrote that the decontamination archs remove the mutations even with the perk

@@paolo8665 no, no I did not, you need to learn how to read, because I never said I had the perk on, I did have the perk on but it was rank 1 which reduces the chance but you can still lose mutations.

why does class freak have no affect on empath, healing Factor, herd mentality, or Twisted muscles? These are from the list I have so far I am 6 away from having the full 18 possible mutations and noticed I am being injured greatly by these even though my class freak is active.
