How to Get Mutated Pets in Build a Base and Steal
There are three different ways of obtaining pets with mutations in Build a Base and Steal. Read on to learn about all the methods in detail:
- Pet Roll: Every time you use the Pet Roll, there’s a random chance that the pet can spawn with the Golden mutation. Using the Pet Roll is currently the only way to get Golden pets. The Pet Roll can’t apply any other mutations to pets.
- Events: As you’re playing the game, different events spawn in Build a Base and Steal. Two of these events (Cosmic and Volcano) have a chance to apply mutations to the pets in your base. While the Volcano Event is active, you also have a chance to obtain pets with the Inferno mutation from within the Volcano.
- Admin Abuse: The Admin mutation is only obtainable during the Build a Base and Steal Admin Abuse Event. The devs host the Admin Abuse before a major update, but they also host mini Admin Abuse events completely randomly. Join the Build a Base and Steal Discord and follow the #announcements channel to receive notifications whenever an Admin Abuse starts.
Now that you know how to get mutated pets, read on to learn about the effects of each mutation so you can decide which pets to keep in your base and which ones to sell.
