Different types of enemies

Due to a very large variety of opponents and a huge number of unique moves and abilities, each battle in Biomutant can prove to be a great challenge, especially when facing more opponents and playing on the highest difficulty level.

Dodging and parrying

In Biomutant, you can limit the damage your character takes by dodging or parrying attacks.

1. Dodging - performing a dodge at the right moment allows you to avoid damage. It slows down the time for a while and gives you a chance to launch a quick counter;
2. Parrying: it allows the hero to block enemy attacks and stun them for a short time so that you can unleash a deadly series of attacks.

Weapons

There are two types of weapons in Biomutant: melee weapons and ranged weapons. Weapons can be obtained in several ways - found in containers, cabinets, and chests, as rewards for completing quests, after defeating enemies, or crafted.

1. Melee weapons: slash damage (one-handed and two-handed blades), crush damage (blunt weapons);
2. Ranged weapons: pistols, shotguns, rifles, automatic rifles.

Wung-Fu

Wung-Fu in Biomutant refers to special combat techniques that enhance the main character's combat capabilities. Both melee and ranged weapons have their own set of Wung-Fu moves, as well as a special super Wung-Fu technique that can be activated when the bar is full (by performing three special finishing moves). Tribal weapons have their own set of Wung-Fu moves.

Below are all the Wung-Fu categories available in Biomutant:

1. Close Combat;
2. Ranged Combat;
3. Basic Melee;
4. Basic Ranged;
5. Maneuvers;
6. Super Wung-Fu.

Mutations and abilities

Mutations in Biomutant are one of the character development mechanics through which the players can alter their character's genetic code, changing their character's appearance, powers, and resistances. To perform a mutation, you will need Bio-points, which can be earned while doing quests and exploring the vast game world of Biomutant.

Boss fights

Boss fights in Biomutant are challenging since these powerful enemies usually have three health bars, making the entire fight divided into 3 phases. In each phase, the boss gains new abilities and also gets slight modifications to the already owned ones, which further complicates the fight.
