The reason behind doing such a cross would be for upgrade purposes, which will be discussed later. A cross between these will always result in either another Saber-Saber mutant (another Nordic Knightmare), or possibly a single-gene Saber mutant (a Warrior ). Second, we will look at a dual-gene cross with two mutants that share the same dual-gene configuration - our aforementioned Nordic Knightmare (Saber-Saber). If we take a Warrior (Single Saber Gene) and cross it with another Warrior, our results will be one of two things - another Warrior, or a Nordic Knightmare (Saber-Saber). A dual-gene result is generally much more common, even when dealing with crossing two single-gene mutants.įirst, we will look at a simple cross - two single gene mutants. A single-gene only results when the two mutants being cross bred are either themselves single-gene, or have a gene in common (e.g., both parents have a Saber gene in common, which could result in a single-gene Warrior as an offspring). To better plan one's breeding results, we must resort to a bit of grade-school science and revisit basic genetic theory.Ī mutant that is being bred may have either one or two genetic results: A single gene, making it a clone of one of the base mutants in the game, or dual-gene, meaning that it will have two separate genetic markers, one from each parent. While this is a perfectly valid breeding method, throwing two random mutants in for breeding will get exactly that back out - a somewhat random result. There is no level requirement for basic breeding, and as such a player can start cross-breeding mutants as soon as they have a pair that are ready to go. In order to be eligible for breeding, a mutant must have a full Mutosterone bar. 2.4 Dual-Genes - Completely Different GenesĪs mentioned above, breeding a mutant is fairly simple: You pick two eligible parents for the source genes, place them in the Breeding Center, and see what comes out.
