Biomutant has one paw in the past and another in the present. Its anthropomorphic cast and colorful environments borrow from 2000s-era mascot games, yet its RPG progression, open-world design, and loot system pull from contemporary titles. Though Biomutant lacks AAA production, its scope is far greater than most indie games.
Don't let its cute visuals and talking animals fool you; Biomutant is a deceptively complicated game. Between the character customization, loadouts, and crafting, there are many interconnected mechanics working in tandem. That's why we're here to help. Below, you'll find useful tips and tricks to help you survive Biomutant's hazard-filled world.
Don't worry about building the perfect character from the outset, because you'll gain stat-boosting experience points as your progress through the game. Even your initial appearance doesn't matter much, since you'll get the chance to alter it later in the game Biomutant is all about player choice, meaning you're not locked into specific character builds. It's good to have an idea of the type of character you want, but remember that you can switch things up at any time.
That said, you should focus on your mutant's character class. The Commando class focuses on ranged, gun-focused combat; Sentinel is all about getting up close and personal with melee attacks; Saboteur focuses on stealth, evasion, and critical hits; Psi-Freak gives you psionic powers; and Dead-Eye is a well-rounded, balanced class.
We suggest going with Saboteur, as its Critical Hit perk adds additional damage to both melee and long-ranged attacks. Its extra agility also makes it harder for enemies to land hits. You're still free to distribute skill points to whichever attributes you desire as you progress, but the boosted Critical Hit chance and agility gives you a leg up, especially during tough boss battles.
Biomutant's post-apocalyptic world contains a treasure trove of loot. You'll find most loot (armor, weapons, health items, etc.) in the wild, but you can also purchase items from vendors. Given the abundance of loot, vendors are almost irrelevant. You'll almost always find better items on your own than from a store. However, vendors are good for purchasing crafting material.
Crafting is a straightforward process. For example, you can swap out a rifle's barrel, ammo clip, scope, and grip with better variants. So long as you have the required crafting materials to create items, you're good to go. Dismantling unwanted equipment is a great way to obtain crafting material, too.
Later in the game, you discover benches that let you upgrade your gear. This is especially useful if you've grown fond of specific weapons or armor sets. After all, do you want to roam the world in ugly gear simply because it has the best stats? Crafting and upgrade benches offer build flexibility, so make use of both as often as possible.
You'll battle mutants and monsters with the game's many melee and long-range weapons. No matter your preferred tools of destruction, follow these basics to stay in the fight longer.
For starters, it's wise to combine long-range and close-range attacks. Firing off a few rounds to stun an enemy, and quickly following up with a sword slice or gauntlet attack makes for a devastating combo. You want to remain mobile, as enemies will quickly overwhelm you with their superior numbers. Strafing works wonders, as does dodging. Countering not only blunts attacks, but often leaves enemies open to devastating combos.
Biomutant lacks a lock-on feature. As a result, you'll want to keep a close eye on where your gun's reticle rests, particularly if you want to focus attacks on a single foe. If you need to dodge or counter, you'll lose sight of a target completely. So, it's best to focus on one enemy for as long as possible before you're forced to disengage. Later on, you'll gain access to area-of-effect attacks and abilities that mitigate the initial battle awkwardness.
In addition, jumping and shooting during combat briefly slows time. This gives you an opportunity to line up shots and consider the combos you'll want to use before landing. The game doesn't tell you this, but it's a powerful mechanic that you should always utilize. Enemies don't play fair and neither should you.
t's nice to take in the game's beautiful sights, but sometimes you simply want to get on with missions and forego long trips. That's when fast-travel stations come into play.
You'll find multiple fast-travel spots across the map, and it's in your best interest to interact and unlock any station you come across. Not only can they expedite trips, but they can also save your life. Unlike most games, Biomutant lets you fast travel even if you're in the middle of combat. If you're overwhelmed, use fast travel to save your furry hide.
You'll come across many characters in each of the game's seven biomes, and most of them require your aid. Accepting their side missions is a great way to gain levels, and acquire loot and crafting materials. Plus, side missions are a fantastic method to learn about the world and its inhabitants.
Side missions also include specific, interactive structures. For example, sundials lead to treasure troves hidden inside caves and sewer networks. Vaults, Storages, and other such Old World locales house their fair share of goodies, too. There's much to see out there, so make sure you check everything; you'll never know what you'll find.
