The “ Broad” strategy: Acquire mutations until you get a bad mutation, then remove mutations until the bad mutation is no longer present. The question then becomes, “if there are G good mutations, B bad ones, and you are willing to pay for S serums, what is the optimal strategy to acquire ≥ (G-S) good mutations, 0 bad mutations, and any number of neutral mutations?” cost tradeoff (including the cost of grinding the caps needed to buy the serums). These are quite costly however, so there is a time vs.
This means that, depending on your current character build, there are some mutations that are good, some that are bad, and some that are neutral.įinally, it is possible to buy serums at some vendors that will add a specific mutation.
Mutations have both positive and negative effects, and the negative effects can be partially ameliorated by the use of the Class Freak perk. In addition, there is a perk called Starched Genes that freezes the player’s mutational state, preventing the gain or loss of mutations. A player will randomly gain mutations (there are 19 of them currently) when exposed to radiation, and randomly lose mutations when the radiation exposure is healed (either by taking Radaway™ or using a decontamination shower).
