Mutations are passive abilities unlocked with Cells that provide significant buffs to your character. You can equip up to three mutations per run, chosen at the end of biomes or after boss fights. Mutations are color-coded to align with Brutality, Tactics, or Survival, and their effectiveness scales with your primary stat. Choose mutations that synergize with your weapons, skills, and playstyle. Some mutations, like Disengagement or Emergency Triage, offer universal utility.
