Craft Gear Early for Biomutant

Craft Gear Early

Although you can always find gear from looting and fallen enemies, the best weapons and armor in the early game in Biomutant are obtained by crafting and upgrading it. This process involves collecting melee and ranged components, saving up resources such as Polym and putting everything together on the 'Crafting' screen.

Armor

It is essential that you have decent armor as it provides physical resistance and defenses against attacks. It does not however give you any bonus resistance from hazardous damage. There are seven places on your character that you can equip armor to:

- Head

- Face

- Torso

- Right shoulder

- Left shoulder

- Back

- Legs

Add-ons for armor can be done on the fly, but to upgrade it will require finding an Upgrade Bench. These are scattered across the map. To find an Upgrade Bench you simply have to look around for the giant air balloons as all Upgrade Benches are found on these balloons. You will not have any difficulty finding an air balloon as they can be seen from miles around.

Weapons

There are two types of weapons in Biomutant, these are:

- Regular Weapons

- Unique Weapons

Regular weapons come with at least one add-on slot which enables you to equip mods into and like armor they can be upgraded using an Upgrade Bench, you will also be able to swap add-ons on the go. Unique weapons cannot be improved using an Upgrade Bench nor can they be embedded with add-ons like regular weapons.

In order to craft weapons you must first find the pieces, these pieces will determine the stats of the weapon and how effective it will be during combat. Whether the weapon you craft is melee or ranged is based on the pieces you use. Melee weapons require at least one handle and one base-type component, and ranged weapons must combine one base type with a grip and muzzle. You can swap out pieces of a weapon anytime and combine them with something better if required.
