NOOB TRAP MUTATIONS/BAD SYNERGIES DONT TAKE THESE TARD

1: CHUD
 People say chud is a newbie racial but they're fucking idiots who have never taken chud, you get +1 senses and a shitty apartment block that has a fat fucking 0 in terms of security. The chudstore sucks a huge dick and the only thing of value within are weasels which restock once every four and a half hours on a good day. On top of all of that you get stress ticks whenever you're on an outdoor tile which requires you to be constantly high to conteract, even while fully drunk with iron liver and bleeder passively destressing you, you still gain stress while outside.
2: RIPPER/ABOM
 Ripper and abom are terrible mutations which you'll take thinking you'll have fun with them and instantly regret the second you need to fix something, bandage your wounds, or wear some armor. Possible buffs in the future but people have been saying that for years, don't hold out hope.
 3: FLIGHT/LEAPFROG
  These are ok on a zombie but otherwise it's really easy to just get a mosquito which provides faster flight and doesn't take up your movement mutation slots, if you can't think of a movement mutation you want just take clair/medium for the +4 focus and never use them. Flight requires fuckloads of cold weather gear and will make your hunger go up by 100 every sky tile you move.
4: HOOLIGAN
 Headbutt is nowhere near as good as it used to be, it's slow, it's damage and stun is utterly random to the point of either doing 50% of a whipper's health and making them pass out, or doing 10% of their health and stunning them for .3 of a second. This is possibly the most easily countered mutation in the game, just make a trigger so that when somebody starts a headbutt on you, you powerattack, it's a free pow. PS: it forces you to blink randomly and gives phaser a chance to telefrag you, enjoy! PSS: the +35 stun resist can be abused on stun resist builds when you take brainslug in conjunction for +75 stun resist.
5: EMPATH
 Even utterly new players know how bad this is, if anything dies within 5 tiles of you, you gain a ridiculous amount of stress and are sometimes put into shock. Never take this unless you're doing a dumb meme build in which case you should just take something more fun.
6:BLEEDER W/VAMPIRE
makes you really hungry whenever you rend, don't take this.
7: HOOLIGAN W/VAMPIRE
You really want blink on vamp because it allows you to travel around during the day, and as previously stated hooligan makes blink for the most part unusable, even if you set up a trigger to stop yourself from blinking it will still put it on cooldown for like 3 minutes.
