Time limit on mutations

[Ardendro]

I love this game, clocked up over 2000 hrs and not liked most of the soft reboot of the game. But as I enjoy 76, I've stuck with it, ignoring the increasingly growing grind to get yet another skin for a shotgun, I never used. But the 1 hr Marsupial mutations time limit, is for me enough. Time to check out NMS.

No, mutations are forever when using the starched genes perk under endurance.

The 1 hour timer is only for the time the mutation will not offer any negative effects. Not for the time the mutation exists. I have characters that have had the same original mutations i took for thousands of hours.

Mutations have no time limit. Using serums removes the negative buffs for an hour, mutation will stay until removed with radaway or decontamination arch.

1hr time limit? what? Mine has been active for 6 years now...

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

They are taking an extra one to suppress the bad effects. 1 Hour limit.

2000 hours in-game and OP makes this thread. I think OP plays Mario inside fallout world, the only mutation you need for this is "Marsupial": "jump, hit the brick, collect mushroom"

[Ardendro]

Check your pip boy, the marsupial mutation now last an hour. Like a comment above, not had to reuse the serum since first using, now the mutation has a one hour time limit

??? - I've checked the pip boy - it does not show what you state. Ensure you have 'starched genes' equipped under endurance it is no longer found under luck - you were told as much in the opening paragraph of the first response you received...

2000 hours and you still dont know how Mutations work?

Yeah, go play NMS.

Something sounds strange with this. I use "Class Ferrk" & "Starched Genes " together and never lost my mutations. If you take Rad-X it will block the mutation effects for a period if time.

That's not what you think it is. When you first use a serum, for the first hour, you get no negative effects from it. That's what this is. The mutation stays, assuming you don't accidentally remove it with Radaway. FYI, Decon Arches use Radaway, so they do the same.

As was said, by using the perk Starched Genes now in Endurance(recent change, so older guides may still say it's in Luck), this will prevent any gain or loss of mutations. This includes when using serums, so make sure to remove it if you're intentionally adding a mutation.

You are using rad x
Or you are using another consumable that suppress them or you keep using rad away and clearing the mutation

They are forever if you put on the perk card to make them forever

I am `1500 and there are still a lot of things I don't know

Ya, you must be right. Everyone is telling you that you are wrong but it's all of us that don't understand.

If you read how things worked in your pip boy you wouldn't be here.

Absolutely no mention about any time limits whatsoever as you can see. The hour thing you are talking about is a temporary buff that disables the negative effects from mutation after you've used a serum, mutation itself is permanent until removed with radaway or decontamination arch.
