The levelling system is forgiving enough that you can focus on your weaker aspects as you progress, allowing you to shore up your worst traits, or just dump more points into your strengths so you become even more powerful. No point making a strength based breed focus on speed or magic early on. In this initial stage, it’s best to create a build that leans into your breed’s proficiencies. From there, you’ll tinker with their proportions, which changes your character’s base stats even further. When you first boot up Biomutant and start a new game, you’ll be tasked with creating a character from one of several breeds, each with their own stat benefits. Here are all the tips you’ll need to know when playing Biomutant. Of course, doing so might be a bit overwhelming when you first start out, so we’re on hand to make sure you know what you’re doing once you jump into the world of Biomutant. As a 3-foot tall looking fluff monster, you’ll have to brave the various enemies, factions and hazards in order to survive and ultimately decide the fate of the world. It's a simple avenue for juicing your kindness or cruelty.Surviving in a post-apocalyptic landscape that’s been decimated by years of environmental abuse by humanity has to be pretty difficult, and that’s what Biomutant is all about. There are something like 23 caged mutants to free, and after each you'll get the option to let them go or straight up murder them, for some reason. If you have a change of heart, the best way for a quick alignment change is through the strangers in distress quests. The dark side's telekinesis is a pretty tough one to resist, honestly.ĭon't worry about committing to one side either. Follow your heart, or just follow whatever psi-powers your alignment unlocks. The morality system is simpler than it looksīiomutant's morality system doesn't bear too much weight on how you're perceived in the world, at least until the very end, and you'll have plenty of time to tip the scales until then. Dress in whatever looks best and forget the rest. Maybe use the outfits tab to save a min-max outfit just in case, but otherwise, dress up like a JNCO jeans catalogue model. Live your short animal life right: express yourself. Biomutant hands out power quickly, so you'll get a ton of powerful weapons and basically all the psi-powers in the game long before you're finished. With the JCPenney's worth of loot you accumulate, intentionally or not, you might feel the impulse to min-max. I started off intending to play a psi-power focused character, but the abilities were quickly outpaced by all the powerful weapons I threw together. Every psi-power, Biomutant's take on magic, is open to all characters as well, so there's almost no meaningful difference in your class choice except for how you'll play through the intro. Gear is rarely stat-limited-it’s typically gated by your character level-so any mutant can wear anything. Don't agonize over picking your classīiomutant makes you think it's going to be a class-based RPG, but the fences all fall down the moment you hit the road. There's such a glut of gear out there you'll eventually accumulate enough junk to roll over any threat, but you might delay the bottom falling out a little longer. Hard difficulty still isn't too tough, especially if you're spending a lot of time exploring. Normal difficulty will rarely throw a challenge big enough at you that you'll need to dip out and find some new armor or whip up a new weapon, so turn up the heat a touch. It's the only way to squeeze some good pressure out of the gear system.
