The Mutants

[BurgerMan SUPS.GG]

I want to ask is there a specific day the mutants come above ground or what?

[Blow3upturk3ys]

for me I saw my first mutant on the surface on day 12

[Gorman]

day 8 here.

Thought it was based on how many cannibals you killed, I could be wrong. I think it was day 9 for me.

Let the cannibals spot you, kill a few and let them build their effegies.

could it be with like how many trees you chop down or how good of a base you have or how far you have progressed? i dont know all i know is that i had a really good base and i was working on a floor and all of a sudden a armsy came in and destroyed my wall and 1 hit killed me i built right next to the plane and i exited the game and went to 1 of my save files and loaded it and it never came back to be honest im scared to even go back on the world now after that.

[BurgerMan SUPS.GG]

the reason im scared is because it took me by suprise

Could be based on how much "noise" you make. Larger base means more visability, deforestation allowing better view. Possibly didn't kill the whole group of enemies the last time they showed up so they "knew" where you were. At least thats my theory.

I'm on day 50 on normal playing co-op with mods and still haven't seen a single armsy or any giant mutant at all maybe its just co-op that dosen't spawn mutants above ground?

Me and a friend started playing coop a few days ago and we have armsies. Were on day 15 I think. I think the reason why is that we built our initial base in the patrol routes of like 3 camps. We literaly got attacked maybe 4 times a day by groups ranging from 2-10 in size. Since we killed so many it made amrsy spawn. We now have a new base in the same game and after 4 days have seen one of the larger regular canibals.

Its like the golden rule of real estate : LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Edit : We arent using mods though. That may be your problem.

the more destruction and noise you cause the more cannibals will start sending out search parties to investigate. the more cannibals you kill the more aggressive they become and the bigger numbers they send out. if relations deteriorate between you and the cannibals they will send one of the three mutants after you.

they even send one of the blue varients as well which are harder to kill. i.e take longer.

Yeah I get what you mean me and some people made our base beside the yacht the base is on that hill beside it. Close to the spawn to make it easier on new people to start. Anyways I see plenty of skinnys,regular cannibals and cheifs that come in groups of six or so they just haven't brought in the giant mutants yet. I'll probably end up starting a new on harder difficulty.

Play it on hard mode and you will see all the canibals and mutants of the game , but it's so hard to kill them cuz you hit one and other hits you. (beware of mother mutant)

[BurgerMan SUPS.GG]

Mother Mutant?

[BurgerMan SUPS.GG]

but if you build your base on an island and spread out from there can they get to you ? im saying if you dont have a bridge a cross

[dahni.uru]

They are now pretty quiet when they approach. When do they attack? When you don't expect it. You know, you catch a couple of fish and start picking blueberries and....
