A mutation (the game also calls it a variant) multiplies how much cash a unit makes. Golden is the most common and Unknown is the best. The developers confirmed Admin sits between Flow State and Unknown, and Shadow is the third-best mutation you can obtain. Unknown cannot be rolled from the conveyor. Exact multipliers have not been published; the in-game Index now shows each variant's real cash per ball.
Quick facts
- Best free-to-play mutations: Flow State, Predator and Shadow (developer, September 19).
- Mutation tokens spawn around the map roughly every 7-15 minutes; the next roll after you grab one is guaranteed that mutation.
- Only one player can claim each token.
- Unknown comes only from limited pedestal units or a very rare Unknown token.
Known mutations
| Mutation | What is confirmed |
|---|---|

| Golden | The common, normal variant |

The developer also said two mutations can be "2 mutations apart but triple the multiplier". The in-game Index lists the full order on the right side.

The Index only showed each unit's base income before September 28. It now updates cash per ball when you switch variants, so older screenshots and comparisons may understate mutations.
