Help on Mutations:
----------------------------------

Life is tough in the post apocalypse. Many times, you may find yourself in a situation no ordinary human could safely get themselves out of. But worry not -- you needn't be an ordinary human!

Mutations, as their name may suggest, modify your DNA to give you advantages over pureblood human beings. Some mutations may increase your damage resistance. Others may increase or decrease your skills. Still others give you special powers, like the ability to jump up cliffs, eat random junk, or spew noxious smoke to help escape your enemies. Most mutations come with a caveat, however - a downside, a negative effect to balance them out.

In order to take a mutation, you must have a free mutation slot. Mutation slots are obtained through training; you'll receive them at set intervals of xp. To develop a mutation, you have to find its location and type mutate 'mutation name'.

If you're having trouble locating a mutation, simply click the name of the mutation you want more information on.
