"Higher Ammo Max"

Increases max ammo capacity for shells, energy, bolts and explosives from 55 to 99.
Increases max ammo capacity for bullets from 255 to 555.

Ammo drops are dependent on the percent of ammunition held, so being out of ammo will lead to pickups being more frequent than if back muscle is not being run.

"Some Kills Regenerate HP"

Any time an enemy is killed they have a 1 in 13 (7.69%) chance of healing the player 1 HP, applied automatically.
Regardless of current HP this will always have the same chance to heal which differs from HP drops.

"No Damage From Explosions And Fire When Under 4 HP"
(Poor flavor text, it's at or below 4 HP.)

Any explosive or fire damage taken will not set the player below 4 HP, regardless of current max HP. It is impossible to die to these damage sources.

Character, enemy and prop damage sources are all included in this so long as they use explosives or fire. It does NOT protect from self-damaging blood weapons, or shielder deflected blood explosions.

Explosives usually deal damage twice in quick succession, but Boiling Veins will prevent the additional hit during the hurt animation.
In layman terms this means that explosives will only do half damage from the full blast of an explosion while above 4 HP.

"Homing Bolts"

• Normal bolts: If passing by an enemy it can adjust slightly to instead pass through that enemy. It will retain the same trajectory if the enemy pierced.
• Large bolts: Similar to normal bolts but with much weaker homing.
• Splinters: Can adjust to a nearby enemy to hit them instead.
• Seekers: Larger homing radius to lock on targets sooner and will take sharper turns to better ensure hits.
• Discs: Will bend towards nearby enemies and will decrease its speed while passing through which can cause extra hits.

"Better Accuracy"

Normal characters: Default accuracy 1, increased to 0.3.
Steroids: Accuracy 1.8, increased to 0.54.
Skeleton: Accuracy 1.5, increased to 0.45.

"Slower Enemy Bullets"

Any projectiles shot by enemies now go 20% slower. Does not effect enemy speed in any way.
Shields deflecting projectiles are not slowed, neither are some non-projectile attacks such as lasers.

"More Speed, Walk Normal On All Terrain"

Adds 0.5 to the total speed.
Floor hazards will no longer effect the player, being cobwebs and ice flooring.

Mutants default speed is 4, bringing it to 4.5.
Plant's speed is 4.5, bringing it to 5.
Skeleton's speed is 3, bringing it to 3.5.
Big Dog's speed is 2, bringing it to 2.5.

(These are the default values but characters constantly move slower due to friction, this is just the best simplification of it.

"Enemies Touching You Take Damage"

Contact damage can now be done to enemies, at 6 damage a tick.
Enemies that deal contact damage will still hurt the player if not killed by gamma guts.
Standing still does 1 tick of damage at a time, meaning that contact damage enemies at 6 HP or below can safely be killed.
Meanwhile moving does 2 ticks of damage at a time, meaning that contact damage enemies at 12 HP or below can safely be killed.
It is recommended to constantly be moving while using this mutation on enemies.

Props are unaffected by gamma guts, as well as vans.

Enemies dying to gamma guts will cause a small shock around the player that does 8 additional damage to any enemies in the immediate vicinity.

"Push Through A Limited Number Of Walls"

Pushing into any wall tile will destroy it.
20 wall tiles may be broken a level, the counter resets to 20 any time a new portal is entered.

A noticeable visual effect will appear when standing next to walls signifying that Hammerhead can be used.
Once all 20 tiles are used up, an audio cue will play to signify it can no longer be used that level.

"Corpses Fly & Hit Harder"

Killing enemies will make their corpses fly substantially farther than their default distance.
Corpse damage is doubled, dealing 2 instead of 1.

"Energy Weapons Deal More Damage"

Any weapon that uses energy ammo will deal additional damage. Each weapon laser type differs from each other, so 'additional damage' is rarely a flat percentage increase but rather higher damage potential.

"More Melee Range"

Any weapon that is a melee gains "more range", even those that use ammo.
In actuality melee shots start further out from the player and are pushed forward at a higher velocity, covering more ground before it disappears.
This leaves a slight blind spot immediately around the player.

Standing behind a wall will reduce melee range while running this mutation.
(Hugging a one wall tile will not effect Jackhammer as its projectile is simply moved forward with some slightly better range)

"Some Kills Regenerate Ammo"

Any time an enemy is killed they have a 2 in 17(11.76%) chance of giving the player 1 ammo drops worth applied automatically.

The ammo given can be any of the 5 ammo types at random regardless of held weapons.

"Extra Chest Spawn"

Every level will include an additional chest. This is chosen randomly between a weapon chest, ammo chest and rad can, which includes any of their special variations.

Skipping 2 weapon chests in the same level counts as +50% towards spawning a big weapon chest, but there cannot be two big weapon chests at a time.
Open Mind will never produce two health chests in a level.
Skipping 2 rad cans in the same level will spawn a Hostile Horror on the next. Only one overflowing rad can will convert into a Hostile Horror in a run.

"Attract Drops And Rads From Further"

Substantially increases the pickup range for drops.
Ammo & HP drops can be reached from much further away, as just walking near a pickup will attract it.
Rads meanwhile are dragged in from the majority of the screen, meaning that just walking in the general direction of rads is enough to collect them.

"More HP And Ammo Drops"

"Most Hit Bullets Become Ammo"

Any weapon that uses bullet ammo will give a 60% chance of returning that ammo to the player automatically, if the bullet makes contact with any prop or enemy.
Bullet weapons that use 1 ammo returns the 1, while bullet weapons that use 2 ammo will return 2 ammo instead.
Incinerator, Pop Gun & Pop Rifle are not effected by this mutation, instead being effected by Shotgun Shoulders. Every other weapon works as intended.

"+4 Max HP"

Increases the player's maximum HP by 4.
This automatically heals for the 4 new HP as well upon entering the next level.

"Less Enemy HP"

Every enemy will have 20% of their max HP removed permanently.
his is always rounded to the nearest whole number.
Bosses and vans are included in this pool.
Any enemy that spawns midway through a level also has the reduced HP, such as IDPD.
Props are not effected by this.

"More HP From Medkits"

Health drops give an additional 2 HP, for a total of +4 HP per drop.
This also effects health chests, which gives a total of +8 HP instead of the usual +4.

"Damage Taken Is Dealt To All Enemies On Screen"

Any damage taken will be returned to all enemies on screen at 2.5x for damage taken.
This is not rounded; enemies will take the exact amount which can leave their health in the decimal points.
If taking more damage than health(losing spirit or going headless as Chicken), it will not deal additional damage; only the actual HP lost.
Similarly taking 0 damage at a time will not proc sharp teeth, such as boiling veins going into effect while at low HP.

"Shells Bounce Further"

Any weapon that uses shells will have the shells bounce back aggressively when in contact with a wall, traveling much further.
Shell weapons at point blank deals extra damage; this mutation also adds that damage to the moment shells bounce off walls, though just for two frames.

Flame weapons do not bounce normally; this lets them bounce once for a short distance.
Incinerator, Pop Gun & Pop Rifle are all effected by this mutation despite being bullet weapons.

"Higher Rate Of Fire As HP Gets Lower"

Additional fire rate is given based on health lost.
The rate is percentage based, so the higher the max health the better the fire rate when low on HP.
Fire rate increase is Current HP / Max HP, for instance being at 50% health puts the players fire rate at 150%.

"Prevents Death Once Recharges At Full HP In The Next Area"

Any hit that would be lethal towards the player will instead be blocked by Strong Spirit, leaving the player at 1 HP. Until Spirit is regained any lethal hit will then kill the player.
Strong Spirit being consumed gives about 5 frames of invulnerability, which is a very narrow window and mainly just prevents some multi-hit damage sources from insta-killing the player.

In order to regain Strong Spirit, the level Spirit was lost on must be completed. Upon reaching full HP at any following level, Spirit will be recharged and will be there to protect the player once again.
If max HP is at 1 (Chicken/Melting) than Strong Spirit can only ever be used once. It will never recharge unless if max HP is 2 or above.

Last Wish will be re-added to the mutation pool, as rerolls can be done again in loop.

Heavy Heart is a secret mutation that will only appear if 3 of the 6 weapon-specific mutations are taken in a run.
These include: Boiling Veins, Bolt Marrow, Laser Brain, Long Arms, Recycle Gland, and Shotgun Shoulders.
Guaranteed to be the first mutation slot of the next set seen after the condition is met.

Increases enemies chances of dropping weapons by 210%, more than double.

(However Heavy Heart & Crown of Guns can be stacked to that effect.)
