Biomutant: Top 10 Tips for New Players

In this Biomutant beginner’s guide, we’ll be sharing some essential tips that will enhance your gameplay experience without revealing any story-related spoilers or in-depth exploration information. These 10 helpful tips will familiarize you with certain aspects of the game and prevent you from discovering them halfway through your journey.

1. Character Appearance Isn’t Permanent

   When creating your character in Biomutant, you’ll need to assign attributes that change your character’s appearance. Keep in mind that you can modify your appearance later in the game without changing your attributes. Focus on selecting the attributes you want during character creation, and don’t worry too much about how your character looks, as you can tweak it later.

2. Sell High-Level Armor You Can’t Use

   Throughout your exploration, you’ll find high-level armor that you might not be able to use for many game hours. These armor pieces can fetch a good price, so consider selling them instead of dismantling them for materials. Use the money you earn to buy armor you can use right away, or invest in weapon parts to strengthen your character.

3. Double Jumping Off Walls

   In Biomutant, you can use walls or beams to perform a double jump followed by a flip to reach higher places in the game. This technique can help you access many hard-to-reach areas during exploration.

4. Unlock Fast Travel Points

   Make sure you interact with every fast travel point you come across in Biomutant, as they can save you time by allowing you to fast travel between locations. You’ll need to return to previously visited locations often while playing, so unlocking fast travel points is essential.

5. Use Water to Reset Hazard Zones Counter

   Jumping into any water source within hazardous zones will cleanse your character and reset the hazard buildup counter, regardless of the water’s appearance. Use this strategy early in the game when your resistance levels are low to explore hazardous areas for longer periods.

6. Find Bio Points in Biohazard Zones

   One way to increase your resistance and stay longer in hazardous zones is by earning Bio Points. The best place to find them is within Biohazard zones, where you can defeat enemies to earn points that can be used to upgrade your resistance levels.

Choose Your Targets Wisely

It’s common for different enemy types to attack each other in Biomutant. Take advantage of distracted enemy groups by carefully choosing which group to attack first, then turning your focus on the remaining group once the first group is defeated. This strategy can be a lifesaver, especially earlier in the game.

7. Follow the Yellow Paint

   When you’re unsure of where to go or how to get to an item, look for the yellow paint. Developer Experiment 101 has marked various sections with bright yellow paint as a visual guide for players. Keep an eye out for this paint, and use it to help you navigate the game world.

8. Boost Luck Attribute

   Pumping your Luck Attribute is an excellent way to increase critical chance for both Ranged and Melee weapons, allowing you to deal more damage with both weapon types. Higher Luck also means better loot, improving your overall effectiveness in the game.

9. Fast Travel to Escape Danger

   If you’re falling or drowning in water, jump and open your map to fast travel to another location, saving yourself from potential death. This tip can help you maintain your progress in the game without having to reload and start over.
