There's also actually color coded keycards. But those are really rare.

He knows about them, and he has a red card already, he was asking of ways to knock down non-red doors.

And yes, those are really rare. They're never around when you need them most.

[Gunner-Chan]

Ooh. Okay. Wasn't sure. But yeah acid gas works wonders. It's not so good on mobs but it's vital adventuring equipment.

[beorn080]

What do you do for those color coded security doors? I only found a red card for red doors, but I'm out of luck when it comes to the other doors. In my old game, I managed to find a recipe for ridiculously powerful MK. III explosives and just chucked them at the doors to MOVE them out of the way; alas I do not have such a luxury this game. If I must use a weapon to bash down the door, what's a good weapon for bashing down said 200-HP doors?

There's nothing really good at bashing them down. Just force-bubble them away or throw an acid grenade at them.

Wait, we're NOT supposed to just smash through any barrier in our paths rather then figure out or find the proper path around?

I should have specified, sorry. I'm a True Human, and it seems like my only choice is to huck grenades at the doors.

Or just hold ctrl + direction for a bit. Assuming your in a safe area at least, don't do that with enemies in the area.

Trying again with my plant-person build (Burgeoning, Photosynthesis, etc, with Vine-Farmer class to boot).  While heading to Redrock, I found a random lair - Guzduz, Legendary Seed-Spitting Vine!

Seriously?  Seriously.  I'm fucking Poison Ivy, and the first legendary I find is a goddamn plant.  It turned out to have a nasty combination of Frost Blast and Teleport Other powers, on top being a seed-spitter which is really annoying.  I got a whopping 12 XP.  Woo.

When playing a mutant do you get more mutations when you lvl up ?

When playing a mutant do you get more mutations when you lvl up ?

A new mutation costs 3 mutation points, which can be quite expensive as levels become harder to come by and you're not guaranteed a mutant point every time you level up. Usually four is enough if you're specializing, but again, it's all entirety to you.

Nope. You have to buy them.

A new mutation costs 34 mutation points, which can be quite expensive as levels become harder to come by and you're not guaranteed a mutant point every time you level up. Usually four is enough if you're specializing, but again, it's all entirety to you.

4, not 3. Yeah, it's quite expensive, unless you're playing a high-ego char like me and all the powers level up without having to spend points on them and you end up with a large surplus.

[beorn080]

I'm 99% sure you always get a mutant point when you level up. Likewise, it costs 4 points for a random mutation. It's selected from the full list, unless you chose the esper or chimaera mutation genotypes at the mutation screen, in which case the random mutations are limited to mental or physical respectively.

Note that if your using physical mutations, its better to just level them up rather then spend the 4 points getting a new one, since they have no stat bonuses attached. With mental mutations, you'll almost always pick up at least one new mutation early on since, even with only a +2 ego bonus, you can't put points in till after lvl 7. Plus, the new mutation starts preboosted.

Another thing to note is that if you are willing to deal with randomness, the random genome mutation can net you cheaper 5 point mutations, at the cost of not getting to pick them. However, it can take a LONG time to get them all, but if you have 3 points left over and don't want light manipulation, it might be worth it.

Unormal, I got this while stacking things near the glowpad.

So. I've encountered a twining lamprey. How exactly do I, uh....make it stay dead?!

Kill both partners in the same turn. Get creative.

I have repeatadly risked point-blank suicide grenading on them, and it hasn't worked.
