They can keep using RadAway for more attempts to remove a Mutation. Every time the player uses RadAway or a Decontamination Shower, there is a chance that a Mutation will be removed. Recipes for the serums can also be purchased from MODUS but have a steep price of 24000 caps per recipe.

All serums and their recipes are sold by MODUS at the Whitespring Bunker Science Wing terminal. If the player already has the mutation, the serum will still temporarily suppress the negative effects of the Mutation and increase the positive effects. Serums are consumable items that will grant a specific Mutation as soon as the player uses it, and temporarily suppress the negative effects of the Mutation and increase the positive effects. Players cannot gain Mutations if they are below Level 5. Whenever a player takes Radiation damage, they have a chance to gain a Mutation, equivalent to 5% per 5 points of radiation damage.

However, to have all 19 active is wildly disproportionate to any playstyle and is recommended to pursue mutations that synergize with each other. It is also possible to acquire multiple mutations at the same time, including all 19 that are currently available (the sole exception is Carnivore and Herbivore which lock each other from being acquired). The Class Freak perk will reduce the negative effects of a mutation by up to 75%, while Strange in Numbers will grant a 25% increase to the positive effect if teammates are also mutated. We will continue to add more info in the coming days.Fallout 76 alters the way radiation works: Instead of just limiting SPECIAL stats or max health, it allows the player character to develop various mutations, which act like traits in other games in the series: They give a mixture of powerful positive and negative effects. These are all the FO76 Mutations you can find in the game. Radiation damage inflicted from melee weapons like wrench, pick axe, and machete.

To cure Mutations, make sure you’ve not activated the Starched Genes Perk. However, they can be made permanent with the *Starched Genes Perk Card*. Mutations will only be active for a certain amount of time.

These are found in the environment with the likes of radioactive areas, special fluids, and after being attacked by certain creatures or standing next to some radioactive waste, radiated creatures or anything particular with radiations. Similar to how traits in Fallout: New Vegas worked, FO76 Mutations are Special Perks with their own positive and negative effects.

Let’s take a look at all the benefits and disadvantages that the Mutations in Fallout 76 hold for the player in the Wasteland. Damage? Perhaps, you’d want to turn invisible? Mutations cannot always be bad, you know.
