Don’t you know? Survival is in a mutant’s DNA

Survival

Faction

Stalkers

They may look rough around the edges, but these bands of scavengers are the last ruminants of humanity. Relying on their wits, skill, and mutations, the stalkers combat the many brutal threats in the wasteland – often at the cost of their human features. Whether it means sneaking through the Zone, hacking through enemy defenses, or soaking up damage like a tank, stalkers do what they must to survive.

LOCATION

Ark Mutants

When the end came, these bunkers were the only hope allowing slivers of humanity to survive the Apocalypse. In the Arks, the People live. They are the spawn of humanity, but not quite human. They are twisted funhouse images, mutated souls. Their bodies and minds have incredible powers, but they are unstable. Fragile. Struggling to survive in this new hostile world.

Faction

Mechatron Hive

With humans having destroyed themselves, their former robot servants are left in the dark - literally. As the world lays wasting in disrepair, and both resources and power become scant, fledgling robot societies that cropped up in man’s absence are collapsing. Some bots are choosing to shut down, rejecting the idea of living without their master, while others have unplugged from their network to try and learn more about their true nature.

Faction

Nova Cult

A secret gathering of mutants with incredible psionic powers wandering the zone with unknown goals and ambitions. They seek enlightenment and co-existence with other denizens, worshipping the remains of the fallen ancient world.

Faction

Genelab Tribe

During the great apocalypse, humanity fled to the depths of the underground enclaves. In genetic laboratories, researchers tried to breed a new being, splicing human and animal DNA, creating a beast intelligent yet strong enough to survive in the devastated world. The enclaves have fallen - but the animals’ fight for freedom has only just begun.

CREATING MUTANT YEAR ZERO

Mutant was a tabletop RPG first published in the late 1980s before being officially rebooted in 2014 as Mutant Year Zero. Following its reboot, the Mutant Year Zero franchise has spawned several short stories, movies and a critically acclaimed video game adaptation Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden.
