Mutation - Order

In which order should you unlock the mutations?
This guide helps zu to decide.

Short Tipps and Intro

I made this guide after I've played through the game in the second difficulty level (hard). In this difficulty you have to try to take down most of the enemies in single fights.

In single fights you normally use only silent weapons, but if you are far away from other enemies you can use all weapons. Don't forget to save the game, before you use your loud weapons.

Try to create ambushes where you have high crit chances.

The silent weapons are first priority for update levels and crit damage upgrades. I did equip the silent weapons as primary weapons.

You can't reskill your mutations, but between fights you can always change the three equipped mutations in the inventory view (press 'i').

You also can change your squad between the fights (press 'k').

In the turn based fight modus you need to keep pressing 'q' to rotate the view with the mouse.

Twitch-Skill

It looks like this skill is bugged at the moment. Bormin and Selma can get this skill.

Bormin

With his best skill Hog Rush(2) Bormin can knock down most enemies. This attack doesn't make much noise, even if a wall is demolished in the attack. You can combine it with silent attacks.
He looks like a tank, but you better try to avoid to tank in this game.

Dux

With Skull Splitter(1), Alpinist(4) and Silent Assassin(5) Dux is a good crit hitter in most situations. Moth Wings(2) work great in combination with Alpinist(4), if you don't have high locations.
With Circuit Breaker(3) he can disable a robot for a short time.

Selma

With Tree Hugger(2) Selma can disable enemy movement in an area for a short time. You can use it and fire in the same round.
Later with Alpinist(7) she likes to fire from high positions.

Magnus

I used Magnus the least, but always in the big important fights against groups of humanoid enemies because of Puppeteer(3).
With Puppeteer(3) he can take over one enemy for a short time. This poor controlled guy takes the bullets for you and you can attack the other enemies with him.
With Silent Assasin(7) Magnus gets a crit bonus while he is hidden. Dux and Farrow have also this skill.

Farrow

Farrow has the best stat improvement. You can two times boost her crit possibility with Critical Booster (4,8) and she gets Silent Assassin(2) very early.
With Circuit Breaker(1) she can disable a robot for a short time.

Artefacts

For your silent waepons you need Ranger(5) as soon as possible.

Nice guide, thanks.

Hi Tompson,
between fights you can always change the three equipped mutations in the inventory view (press 'i'). Sorry, at the moment I haven't installed the game, but I think you should try the usual things like right or left mouse button on the old or new mutations. If this doesn't help try the forum.

How exactly do I switch between active mutations tho? I can open the mutation menu but it gives no means of changing which ones I have equipped.
