“The radiation of the wasteland has changed you! One of your traits has mutated into something else...”— In-game description
Mutate! is a perk in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics.
Effects[]
Allows swapping a trait for another.
Notes[]
- In unpatched Fallout, Gifted could be swapped for another trait while keeping the Character Points.
- Uses of this perk can include:
- A player character with a critical hit build can use Finesse for most of the game until taking Sniper, causing them to swap out the redundant trait, usually for Fast Shot.
- In Fallout Tactics, it can be used to swap out unfavored traits from NPC squad members or add a trait to those who have none. If a character already has one trait, it must be exchanged for the new one; the empty second slot cannot be filled.
Behind the scenes[]
The image for this perk is a reference to Marvel Comics' Dr. Bruce Banner/The Hulk. The image of the split personality always appeared at the end of the intro scene during the television series, which ran from 1978 until 1982.
