Welcome to the ultimate Biomutant progression guide. In this breakdown, we cover everything you need to know about how character progression works in the game, helping you make smarter choices and become more powerful as you play.


1. Biogenetic Mutations (Abilities)

Mutations are core abilities in Biomutant and can act like spells or utilities:

  • Examples: Fungi (launch into the air), Mucus Bubble (defensive utility).
  • No restrictions: You can unlock any mutation if you have enough Bioblob.
  • Bioblob Tips: Found through exploration, from biohazard enemies and containers—essential for both unlocking powers and resistance upgrades.

2. Environmental Resistances

Essential for survival in hazardous zones:

  • Types: Heat, Cold, Radiation, Biohazard.
  • How it works: Spend Bioblob to increase each resistance by 10% increments.
  • Costs increase over time (starts with 1 Bioblob, then 2, then 3…).
  • Why it matters: 100% resistance means no damage in that zone—no need to swap out combat gear.

3. Psi Powers (Light & Dark Abilities)

Special abilities tied to your Aura alignment:

  • Some powers are neutral; others require high Light or Dark points.
  • How to gain Aura points:
    • Dialogue choices (right = Light, left = Dark).
    • Capturing critters (free or kill them).
    • Helping/hurting captives.
    • Interacting with shrines.
  • Psi Powers vs. Mutations:
    • Psi = Elemental/fantasy-style spells (e.g., lightning).
    • Mutations = Utility and wacky powers (e.g., bouncing mushrooms).

4. Upgrade Points

Earned through leveling up and codex books in bandit camps. Used to unlock two major systems:

A. Perks

  • General Perks: Available to all characters.
  • Class Perks: Unique to your starting class (e.g., Saboteur = improved dodge, movement).

B. Wung-Fu Abilities

  • Special moves for each weapon class (e.g., 2H Slash, Dual Pistols).
  • Super Wung-Fu Activation: Unlock three unique attacks per weapon class. Use them in sequence to trigger a powerful mode.
  • Tip: Only unlock Wung-Fu for weapon types you actively use.

5. Attribute Points (Stats)

Each level-up grants +10 to one attribute:

  • Vitality: Increases HP.
  • Strength: Boosts melee damage.
  • Intellect: Powers mutations.
  • Agility: Movement speed & dodge.
  • Charisma: Dialogue/barter options.
  • Luck: Increases loot quality & critical chance.

Why Luck Matters:

  • More high-tier loot = better gear = easier progression.
  • Crit chance also synergizes with fast-firing ranged weapons.

Final Notes

  • No class locks: You can eventually unlock nearly everything regardless of starting class.
  • Balanced progression: Focus early on resistances and perks that match your current weapons/playstyle.

Biomutant’s progression systems are approachable but offer a lot of flexibility. With the right planning, you can become a hybrid powerhouse—no matter how you start. Happy exploring!
