Mutations, introduced in the Foundry Update, are passive modifiers that replace the Stat-based secondary effects from the Brutal Update. They are obtained between levels from Guillain.
Most mutations are not initially available. To unlock them, one must bring the mutations' blueprints to the Collector, then spend the required Cells.
Mechanics
The player can only have a certain number of mutations at once. Each area cleared in a run allows one more mutation, up to a total of 3 (unless in custom mode, where many more can be picked). However, the player can spend gold between levels to remove all current mutations, allowing a new choice of mutations to replace the old set. The price to do this starts at 1,000 and doubles with each reset, until the cost reaches 8,000 gold, at which point it will stop increasing.
Most mutations are associated with and scale their benefits with a specific stat. That is, mutations' base damage and/or healing magnitudes are multiplied by 1.15n-1, where n is the current level of the appropriate stat, rounded to produce the final amount.
For example, if a Brutality mutation provides an extra 90 base DPS and the player's Brutality is 2, the final extra DPS is 90 × 1.152-1 = 90 × 1.15 = 103.5 ≈ 104). Note that damage and DPS bonuses from mutations are not affected by gear-specific damage bonuses or Affixes.
Colorless mutations have fixed benefits unaffected by Stats, except for Instinct of the Master of Arms.
As of v1.9, skills can no longer be used to activate mutations that lower their cooldowns when killing enemies, such as 'Hunter's Instinct', but will still activate ones like 'Heart of Ice' or 'Instinct of the Master of Arms', as they are not activated when killing enemies.

Ygdar Orus
Li Ox |
Saves you ONE TIME if you die prematurely. Cannot be dropped once picked up. | N/A (Always available, but only obtainable after exiting the Prisoners' Quarters and before entering either second stage. It can be re-obtained immediately after resetting mutations.) | N/A | Upon taking lethal damage which does not trigger sudden death prevention, freezes nearby enemies, returns you to 25% of maximum health, cleanses accumulated malaise and destroys itself. Once used, you cannot take another mutation in its place, locking this mutation slot for the rest of the run. Does not protect against death by curse. If the heart icon is red, the mutation is active; a rotten heart icon means it was used. | |
Recovery | Time available to recover your health after a hit is multiplied by 2. | Conjunctivius (5th kill) | 50 | Rally health now drains 0.16 seconds (usually 0.08) after taking damage, at a rate of 15% of maximum health per second (usually 30% maximum health/s). | |
Emergency Triage | Health potions only restore 45% HP but their use speed is increased by 300% and it completely protects you for 3 sec. | The Time Keeper (8th kill) | 100 | Before the Baguette Update, did not reduce the amount flasks healed.
Using it with Extended Healing will make the effects merge: 65% healing spread over 15 seconds, scaling damage boost from Extended, elites have a chance to heal some malaise, use speed is 300% faster and it protects you for 3 seconds. | |
Velocity | Running speed duration bonus (for kill combo) multiplied by 3. | The Time Keeper (5th kill) | 50 | Base duration of the speed bonus is 10 seconds. | |
Dead Inside | HP is increased by 50%, but the efficiency of all sources of healing (food, mutations or health potions) is cut in half. | Lancer (1.7%) | 100 | Before v1.1, it increased HP by 30% but allowed food to heal.
Before v1.2, it did not increase the infection counter. Before v1.9, this mutation was unlocked from the beginning of the game. Any save file that was started before this version will have the mutation already and thus will not require getting its blueprint from Lancers on 4+ BSC. Before v2.1, this mutation increased the Malaise bar by 6 points and prevented all food from healing HP. | |
Alienation | Reducing a curse restores 5% HP but increases the number of enemies required to lift the curse by 50%. | The Concierge (7th kill) | 50 | Each instance of healing occurs over 2 seconds.
Before v1.5, did not grant Malaise reduction for 5 kills while cursed, and before v1.1, did not require more kills to remove a curse and granted 10% HP for each enemy defeated. If combined with Acceptance, the latter scales on the modified curse value, rounded up. Before v2.1, this mutation would decrease the Malaise every time a curse was reduced 5 times. | |
Acceptance | Removing a curse requires killing 50% less enemies. Consuming food curses you. | Requires 3+ BSC. First, gather all 3 Gardener's Keys in Promenade of the Condemned, then go through the Ramparts, the Graveyard, and the Forgotten Sepulcher for the Moonflower Keys. They are hidden in secret areas and locked behind doors which each require Gardener's Keys.
In High Peak Castle, there is a secret area containing the blueprint in exchange for the Moonflower Keys. |
200 | Consuming food gives you 5 curse. Before v1.1, only reduced the amount of kills to remove curses.
If combined with Alienation, the latter scales on the modified curse value, rounded up. | |
Masochist | Trap damage is capped at 10% of your max HP. When hit by a trap your movement speed increases by 20% for 20 sec. | Deep pit in Slumbering Sanctuary, with spikes on the bottom and very thin platform at the middle of the pit. After you fall down, climb up walls until you see a secret passage with blueprint. | 100 | Independent of the usual speed buff. Before v1.1, only reduced damage by 80%. | |
Disengagement | If your HP falls below 20%, a force field protects you for 5 sec. Can only be used every 120 sec. | Chamber in the start of Prisoners' Quarters which can only be accessed with the Homunculus Rune. | 200 | Triggers with Darkness and Poison damage, but does not protect against them.
Does not seem to prevent death in cases where a single hit does enough damage to directly take the player all the way below 0% HP in one fell swoop; for example, if the player is at 25% HP and then takes a massive individual hit for ~30% damage.[a] Will actually heal the player up to 20% if the player is below 20% HP, has allowed the cooldown time to pass, and then takes damage with the mutation active once again.[b] |

Health mutations
In this table, you will find the heal value (in % of total HP) of the health mutations based on your Stats.
- Soldier's Resistance increases your health by a % of your total HP, starting at 2% and capping at 25% with 19+ Survival.
- Adrenalin heals a % of your total HP based on percentage multiplied by base total damage of a single hit after dodging at the last second. Percentage provided by mutation starts at 0.0015% and is capped at 0.015% with 30+ Brutality.

Damage mutations
In this table, you will find the added DPS of mutations that add damage in certain conditions. Some of these mutations scale with the formula [Base DPS] × 1.15(Stats - 1)
For example, the Open Wounds mutation's base DPS is 18 and scales with Brutality. If you have 4 Brutality, the Open Wounds mutation will deal 18 × 1.15(4-1) = 27 DPS with each bleed effect it inflicts.
Each of the backpack mutations, such as Porcupack, reduce the damage of the weapon stored in the backpack to a percentage of its original value.

Other mutations
In this table, you will find the scaling of Melee, Berserker, Tainted Flask, Predator, and Tactical Retreat.
- Melee applies a slow down to enemies, which initially lasts for 0.2 second and caps at 0.8 second with 11+ Brutality.
- Berserker grants a % of damage reduction following a melee kill, which starts at 10% and caps at 60% with 14+ Survival.
- Tainted Flask, on top of its DPS scaling, can grant a flask recharge if the player's potion is empty. This is triggered upon killing a certain number of Elites which decreases proportionally with the number of Brutality stats, starting at 12 Elites and capping at 4 Elites with 28+ Brutality.
- Predator grants short invisibility after killing an enemy with a melee strike. The invisibility duration starts at 1 second and caps at 3.5 seconds with 23+ Brutality.
- Tactical Retreat slows down enemies within a 15 tile radius of the player upon dodging an attack at the last moment. The slowdown initially lasts for 1 second and caps at 3 seconds with 25+ Tactics.
- Kill Rhythm increases the speed of an attack by a percentage if it was initiated immediately after an attack with your other weapon.
For Melee and Berserker, the scaling formula is the same as for damage mutations, that is [Base value] × 1.15(Stats - 1).
For Tainted Flask, Predator, and Tactical Retreat, the formula is instead [base value] × 0.96(Stats - 1), [base value] × 1.06(Stats - 1), and [base value] × 1.048(Stats-1) (rounded), respectively.

Notes
- ↑ This is based on in-game experience, and might only apply to cases in which the player is already below 20% HP when the damage is taken (see the other note for more information about Disengagement's quirky behavior at <20% health). Further testing is needed to confirm whether this can happen at any HP level, or only at low HP levels.
- ↑ Disengagement seems to be coded so that when it activates, aside from creating the force field effect, it sets the player's HP to exactly 20% (rather than strictly preventing it from dropping below 20%, as one might intuitively expect). So, when starting above 20% HP and taking damage, this logic effectively "prevents" the damage from dropping the player any further below 20% than it otherwise would; but when starting below 20% HP and taking damage, its result is instead to boost the player back up to the 20% level. This is very likely an unintentional effect.
