Do you know what Fallout 76 Mutation is? And how do you farm Fallout 76 Mutation? If you want to know the answer, then you just need to follow this short article.

 
 

What is Fallout 76 Mutation?
Fallout 76 Mutations are a new system that adds benefits and consequences to being irradiated. One of the most exciting new mechanics in Fallout 76 is Mutations. It allows players to gain new powers, but it can have negative effects as well. These mutations can lower your intelligence or zap you of your strength, but they can also have benefits like adding damage to your attacks, speeding up your movement, or granting stat buffs to the rest of your team. In any case, if you are willing to give up a few points of stats here and there for some really cool abilities, then you need to learn how to farm mutations.
 
How to get Fallout 76 Mutation?
Mutations in Fallout 76 are pretty similar to the real world, in that they’re caused by an overabundance of radiation. Of course, the West Virginia wasteland of the game has far more radiation in it than almost anywhere in our own, so finding some should be easy. The way mutations work is that they will randomly appear depending on your radiation level. With each 5 hp you lose to radiation (shown as red on the right side of your health bar) you have a chance of gaining a new mutation.
 
To obtain mutations in Fallout 76, you essentially need to irradiate yourself. This can be from any radiation source, such as a pool of water in the Toxic Valley region, a nuclear blast zone, irradiated creatures like Glowing Ones, or irradiated consumables like spoiled meat. For every 5 HP of radiation you get, you have a 5% chance to gain a mutation. This can be any mutation from the list below, and a character can have multiple mutations at once as long as you accumulate enough radiation.
 
Fallout 76 Best Mutations
Now you know what Mutations are available in Fallout 76, which ones should you go for? The problem is that most of the Mutations - while granting positive effects - also give negative ones as well. The best Mutations will depend on situation, but we’ve listed some good all-rounders below:
Herbivore: Vegetables provide 2x normal benefit, meat provides zero benefit
Marsupial: +20 carry weight, + jump height, -4 intelligence.
Eagle Eye: +4 perception, -4 strength
Healing Factor: +300% health regeneration, -55% chem effects
 
Fallout 76 limits the rate at which you can get mutations, so after each mutation is obtained, you need to log out of the game and back in again (aka “server-hop”) in order to get another mutation. Good luck to you!
