Mutation
A horrific consequence of radiation exposure. At least the arm is still somewhat useful.

Monster Blood] [Bloody Eye] [Bloody 9mm] [Bloodied Scarf] [Blood Brooch] Notes
- Mutation is not a proper goop -spraying weapon, unlike the [
Mega Douser] , the [
Plunger] , or the [
Fossilized Gun] . Unlike those three, Mutation's "stream" loses all momentum and immediately ends when you release the trigger.
Trivia
- The synergy between the Mutation and [Bionic Leg] / [Shock Rounds] may be a reference to Tetsuo from the 1982 manga series Akira . Tetsuo similarly possesses a bionic arm, and famously undergoes extreme and disturbing mutations. The synergy's name, "Neo Tech, Yo" also seems to allude to Neotokyo, the setting where the story takes place.
- "Didn't Need Two Anyway" refers to the look of the weapon in-game, which envelops the player's whole arm.
