Mutations

Mutations are Grounded 2's perk system, unlocked by completing challenges out in the world and then equipped into a limited number of active slots. You start with two active slots and can grow that to five through Milk Molars, while passive mutations like the weapon fighting styles apply automatically. Active mutations such as Frenzy, Cardio Fan, and Natural Explorer level up through three phases as you keep doing the related task, and Mutation Loadouts let you swap whole sets on the fly.
