Prototype 2 Mutations Part 2 – Offensive, Defensive, Locomotion Mutations

Mutations are a different story from your powers. These are not gained through story missions but by completing collectible sets, Lairs, and Blacknet Missions.

Offensive
These Mutations increase Heller's offensive abilities. Each will make an immediate and notable improvement to your combat abilities.

Darwinism: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Any Zone
Inflict 10% more damage on all military foes

Death From Above: Unlocked by completing any Mission
Increases Aerial attack damage by 10%

Devastatingly Beautiful: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Red or Green Zones
Widen the Range of the Devastator by 25%

Good Little Soldier: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Red Zone
Deal 10% more damage when you operate military weapons and vehicles

Heller's Angels: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Red Zone

Melee Expect: Unlocked by completing any Set/Mission/Lair

Revenge Boost: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Any Zone

Rocket Arm: Unlocked by completing any Set/Mission/Lair

Strike Force: Unlocked by completing any Set/Mission/Lair

Defensive Mutations
Just as the Offensive improved Heller's ability to dish out damage, these mutations let him take damage a lot better. As soon as you can, go for Bulletproof/Hardboiled or Healthy Appetite. There is something very nice about not having to worry about small arms fire (and it significantly reduces the damage you take when inside a military base).

Bulletproof: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Green or Red Zone
Deflect  all bullets from small firearms

Hard Boiled: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Any Zone
Decrease damage taken by 25%

Healthy Appetite: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Any Zone
Increase your Health by 25%

Impaler: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Red Zone
Shield Spikes do 25% more damage

Personal Space: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Any Zone
25% earlier warning to dodge incoming attacks from foes

Shields Up: Unlocked by completing Set/Mission/Lair in Any Zone
50% more time to block incoming attacks with Shields

Locomotion
Just as the name implies, these mutations focus on improving Heller's ability to move around. These are very important to track down and acquire. The later parts of the game will be made a lot easier if you max out Heller's Speed abilities and gain most to all of these Mutations.
