All Perk and Mutation locations in Grounded

Things are getting weird in the backyard.
Grounded

With all Perks in Grounded starting out as hidden, it may be difficult to try and unlock all of the mutations. Most Mutations can be unlocked by grinding out a certain task. Here are all of the Mutations, and their higher tiers, that are unlocked with repeated actions.

Juicy

Player does not need to eat or drink as often. This perk is unlocked by finding all of the juice boxes spread across the map. These locations are marked on the map below. (Note: Juice box 4 is located in the Haze area, use a mask or be quick when discovering this location.)

Fresh Defense

Player is resistant to burns and stings. This is unlocked by picking up a Mint Chunk which are found by destroying mints to the North-West of the Mysterious Machine. Players will need an Insect Mallet (Tier 2) to open the container and destroy the mints.

Coup de Grass

Player will deal critical hits more often. Travel through the hole in the ground at the marked map location. You will have to swim through a long underground passage. Once you make it through you will find the 4 Leaf Clover and unlock the Mutation.

While most of these perks take hard work to discover or unlock, you can buy two of them outright from BURG.L in the Oak Tree Lab. Both of these perks can be unlocked for 7,000 Science each.

Meat Shield

Increases maximum health.

Buff Lungs

Increases maximum stamina. Keep in mind that you can only have three perks at a time. These mutations, however, are interchangeable so you can swap out whatever mutation you don’t need at any time!
