But rushing forward to claim the rewards isn’t the wisest tactic in a world that’s home to assassins posing as corpses. It obviously encourages aggression, as does the fact that Rads (XP points) must be gathered before they blink out of existence-rinsing that corridor in one fell swoop might cost you an upgrade, if you can’t mop up all the Rads in time.

This transforms a bullet-hell endeavour into a question of banking shots and pinball table multikills-a lucky thwack with a wrench might clear out an entire corridor, saving you precious ammo. One dramatically increases the force with which enemy bodies are thrown by a fatal blow. Faster movement-to esoteric mutations that suit more advanced tactics, such as being able to tunnel into walls for shelter.
