The Mutation Survival Guide!

mutation.jpg

Hi guys! Some people knows that my favorite mode is Mutation. Why? I Love Survival game (like DOOM). Anyway, I'm there to help you soldier! Why? Because you think the only to survive is to glitch! All you need is : Teamwork! Easy to say I know, but it's easy to convince people to cooperate with you. First, find a spot and this is where my guide start!

If there's any mistake, let me know, I'll ask a mod to fix! Enjoy my guide!

  • Let's start with Zone 13th.
    zone13th.jpg

    This map is not the biggest but there's alot of spot to survive. You can run around the map or just camp. These are my best choice because they don't p*** off mutants because of blocking or because they can't reach the roof but because of good teamwork!


    Traffic Light
    zone13th2.jpg

    It's a very good spot, because mutant are forced to jump to get you. Just shoot before they jump or while. Have someone to check behind, because there's a good jump trick on the fences to get on the light. And have another dude ready to shot if you run out of ammo. Assault Rifle or Sniper can be good but Machine Gun are always better.


    Containers
    zone13th3.jpg

    It's an underestimated spot. It's a very good one, but watch out because Maiden can jump from both side of the container. The best thing is: someone stay in the middle (on the edge) and shot mutants when they climb the little box and have some peoples on each side of the edge to cover him.


    Glass Roof/Bus
    zone13th4.jpg

    Not many people use this spot. Think about that, you are four on the glass roof. Two at each extremity. One shot mutants when they jump on the boxes and the other shot if it gets out of control or if you teammate needs to reload. But remind this: More you are, more chance you have, :)


    Stair/Edge
    zone13th1.jpg

    Alright, this spot is good in case of emergency. If you camp there the whole time, you'll run out of ammo, because mutants are not forced to jump to get you. It's better if you're atleast two. One shot then you alternate when you need to reload. But watch out, you see the door? If mutant get a good boost (G function), they will be able to jump on it and get you, keep an eye on it. If it get out of control jump down and go jump on the container to escape (you know what I'm talking about? If not click here).


    Mini roof
    zone13th5.jpg

    This is my favorite spot for some reason. Mutants are forced to jump. Shot them before they jump or while. This spot works very well alone, just imagine with your friends. Machine Gun recommanded. Sometime they hide behind the container (each sides: at the box or under the roof), if you have a mutation grenade use it when they hide where the box is.


    Stair/Edge #2
    zone13thupdatedspot.jpg

    The edge on the left, uN*[Y]mz.Lt (KIDZBOP) showed me this spot, it really works! I don't need to tell that you need Machine Guns and alot of people. Stay in the back as much as possible, just jump on your teammate's head then tank the mutants when they come near the edge. Keep an eye on mutants who boost from under. If you camp on the left, mutants can't get you from the right side unlike if you camp on the right side. Give it a try, it works!
    Thank you uN*[Y]mz.Lt (KIDZBOP)!


    Balcony Building

    zone13th6.jpg

    My clan and I discover this awesome spot, it really works. You can stand for a
    wahile alone, imagine with your clan! Bring machine guns as always and defend.
    Don't stay next to the window, because mutants can get you. You can shot through
    the window also. If there's any maiden, watch the container under, because they
    jump high enough to get you or 1 of your teammate. I'm sure mutants can also boost
    but I've never tried. It's now one of my best spot in Zone 13th!

  • Now let's move on Port Nano!
    portnano.jpg

    This map is big enough to run around the map. There's only few spot but it's better than nothing, ;) I don't suggest spot that require lagg jump or boost (BL Spawn box, the tower and the silo thing) because it's easy to get caught.


    A-Site
    port3f.jpg

    One of best spot in Mutation Mode, it's really hard for mutant to get you but not impossible! Always stay back, cuz mutant can boost and get you on the edge but they can't jump on the spot, remind this (except if they make a stair but I've never seen this in my whole life in CrossFire). So stay away from the edge. Shoot only when they climb on the side to get on the spot, like this you save alot of ammo. You can kill flashing mutants but don't waste too much ammo. Finally don't jump down to get a box if there's an army of mutants waiting (It sounds idiot but trust me, some people do it).


    B-Site
    port2o.jpg

    This spot is an emergency spot usually, when A-Site is mutated but you can go there anytime it's a very good spot. But why this spot usually fail? For two reason: First, people stand at the extremity of the container (the one you see on the pic) and got caught because mutant boost from under. Stay inside and away from the door. Second, people usually don't check behind, mutant can boost on the box behind and enter the container. So watch both side. Why you think blockers usually fail too, because they don't cover their back.


    Little passage
    port1.jpg

    People usually camp at the ladder, I just want to say that the ladder is not high enough to camp on it, don't camp there, stay away and go behind the little passage (where's there's alot of space). But watch both side, maiden can jump higher or mutant can boost too. Nothing much to say about this spot, :p
  • Alright, now Excavation!
    excavation.jpg

    This map is very big but you cannot really hide because it's really exposed. In other words: it's easy to see you. But don't worry, why hide when you can trap the mutant! You knew this map is called "Death Trap" in CrossFire Philippines? Just saying that the death trap is meant to be used against mutant not the opposite! Let's see:


    Death Trap/Cage
    excavation2.jpg

    I presume that the cage is the death trap. Alright this spot is one of the best Mutation Mode spot too. But flash and smoke can break everything so don't. This spot fail when people wait at the door until a mutant come or to be ready to get the supply box and when people reload at the time, lol. Stay away from to the door even if it's clear for you. Mutant (like me) usually camp on the side box until someone is about to leave the cage. Be careful!


    Side Wall
    excavation5.jpg

    Not a bad spot but not thet best. You can hold a while but it will get out of control after. For few reasons: First,mutants boost from behind, second, people run out of bullet or reload at the same time. Basicly, mutants are forced to jump, but once they are on the top, they are kinda hard to knockback them cause of the "keep pressing jump" trick. Don't waste bullet, watch both side and try to shoot mutant when they jump on the little boxes, to avoid a big waste of bullet because they will rush on the top of the side wall.


    Top of the Pyramid
    excavation1.jpg

    The top of the pyramid is a good spot but it require a boost or the lagg jump. This spot can't p*** off mutants because they jump a bit higher, just enough to get you. Go with a teammate on it (boost him if he don't know how to lagg jump) and shot mutant when they are about to jump on the box, but don't camp there if there's any maiden in the room and don't stay on the edge (I know there's not alot of space but try) because they jump from the bloc (the left bloc on the pic).


    Basic Spot
    excavation3.jpg

    Also used as a emergency spot, this one is really good in general! But why this spot fail? Because of Maiden, people who only shoot 1 side (left or right) and people who stand on the edge. When you are on this spot, be sure to take care of everything I said in the previous sentence. Shoot maiden when they jump on the long platform (The second on the pic, under the other long one), watch both side and stay away from the edge. Good luck soldier!


    Pyramid passage
    excavation4.jpg

    Not the best spot but can be good, I'm pretty sure. It mainly fail because mutant are not forced to jump but can fail also if mutant boost behind. Bring alot of people and alot of machine gun too and watch both side. Try it out and if it fail, don't worry, just take another one in my guide, :3
  • It's time for Research Facility
    researchfacility.jpg

    Alright, people usually complain that this map is too small, well, it's true. That's why you need to teamwork alot! Also, people complain that there's not spot. Hehe, it's not true, I'll prove it!

    Hole in the wall
    rfacility5.jpg

    People usually camp there. Why? Because mutants are forced to jump. But this spot fail when: Mutant jump from the pipe to get human on the edge, stay away from the pipe when you're on the edge. If a mutant appear inside, stuck him on the corner but have some people checking the pipe.


    Balcony/Water Room
    rfacility4.jpg

    This spot can be good if you DON'T break the glass. If you are alot of people, you can stand for while. How? Simple! Shot mutant when they ARE ABOUT to jump on the balcony from the vent. They will fall down each time and they will be p*** off and they will come from behind. Have an army ready to shot them. If you shot the glass, you'll have too much mutants to shoot at the same time. This spot can work really well alone but it's always better in team.

    Alt: You can all go the balcony in the back (where's there's the glass). And shoot mutant when they jump from the balcony (left)/vent (right). Don't stay in front of both access, stay in the middle of the balcony and shoot! :D

    Note: When people are p*** off, they shoot the glass the round after, xD


    Mini Room (Inside/Top)
    rfacility3.jpg

    Top: If you're lucky, get on the top but don't waste ammo. Only shoot when they try to climb. And if you shoot through the glass, you won't get any kill, that's why sometime you must go at the edge to get some kill, but that's also where soldier fail, they get caught because they stand at the edge. Your choice, no kill but win, kill but mutated! And let some people climb also (not to much). If you break the box right after you're the top, you get less chance. But if you are like three, four or more, watch out, they can be host infection, :p

    Inside: This spot is full of win, but people always fail. Why? Because they stand at the edge or too near of it. Stay at the very back of this room. "But they can boost!" Yeah they can, but what's the danger if you're at the back. Just shoot them when they get inside! But, too much people result atleast someone near the edge, so watch out, ;)


    Glass Floor Room
    rfacility2.jpg

    Bring the most people you can and you'll be able to tank the mutants! But don't break the glass! If they're about to get you or if some people have been mutated at this spot, shoot the glass and run away from different direction. But there's a little escape trick, not easy but it works. You can jump on the publicity sign right under from this spot. Good luck!


    Publicity Sign
    rfacility1.jpg

    I just can't believe almost nobody use this spot! When I play on CrossFire China, they abuse this spot, xD Yeah I know they have overpowered weapon but trust me, we already have tanked those dread with Xm8, Uzi, M4A1 and M60, Just shoot mutants when they are about or while they jump. DO NOT BREAK THE GLASS! They can jump from the glass floor room and get soldier while they fall! Good Luck Soldier!


    Small Room
    rfacility6.jpg

    Alright, this spot is very good when no one shoot the glass, almost impossible, I know. But if you get the chance, take it. Bring alot of people with machine gun. If you are two, don't reload at the same time. Try to bring alot of people and you'll be ok. Remember, never shoot mutants through the fence. Because you'll forget to check the door and you'll get mutated or you'll shoot the glass by mistake. Kill 'Em All!
  • Now, Tranquility
    lobbymap45.png

    It's a huge map, very good for running and jumping! There's few spot you can camp alone, but in this part of the guide, I'm showing the best spot for teamwork! Let's check it out!


    Balcony/Ladder
    tranquility1.jpg

    This spot is very good, people will usually camp on the ladder, which is good, but I suggest to go on the top and shoot mutants when they climb the ladder. Shot only when they climb to save ammo. If nobody camp on the ladder, they will be able to reach the balcony. It's hard sometime for mutants to get you they have to find the good angle. Take that opportuniy to KILL EM ALL!


    Rooftop
    tranquility2.jpg

    The rooftop of this specific house. Have some good eye because they come from everywhere. You can easly camp alone, but, as I always say, more you are, more chance you have! Find a way to jump on this rooftop and camp, :) They are forced to jump, that's why it's a good spot!


    The Lamps
    tranquility3.jpg

    If you have good jump skill, you'll be able to jump on the lamp. I recommand the one on the right (on the pic) because it's REALLY hard to get there (both Soldier and Mutants). But you see the little rooftop on the right? mutant can jump from there and get you on the lamp. Stay in the middle and you'll be ok. If you're two. Jump on your teammate's head. They will try to boost, just shoot them, but keep your eye on everything!
  • The Stronghold! (Temp image)
    termpimg.png

    Small base, huge territory! You'll mainly camp outside the base. The inside is better for hiding, there's few spot you can hide. But don't worry, there's 3 spots very helpful! Let's take a look!


    Supply Boxes
    rd4h.jpg
    rd3e.jpg

    I really like this spot, you can hold if you keep an eye on every side. If you need to get away, just jump on another box and camp. But watch out, mutants can also jump from another box or from the platform connected to the base. It's maybe not the best spot in the world of Mutation Mode, but atleast, give it a try!


    The Wall
    strongholdwallspot.jpg

    You REALLY need Machine Gun for this spot, because mutants will rush hard. Stay at the very end of the wall, doesn't matter which side. As long as you stick with your teammates, of course. Another way, you can try to push them when they try to climb the boxes. it should works too!


    Side of the base
    rd1r.jpg

    Probably the best spot of the map. But there's many way to counter it. The first thing to do, don't block the window like a noob. Stay away from the window by camping on these blue things on the side.

    Mutants counter attacks:
    • They past by the window, if a mutant do that, stuck him on the blue thing until he die, XD
    • They boost from under, shoot them if they do that but keep your eye on the window!
    • They jump from the platform, even if it's not easy to do, it's possible. You don't see it in the pic, but it's on the left.

    The Hallway
    strongholdthehallway.png

    You need alot of people, because there's alot of space. Means that mutants can easily doge your bullets. Mutants will sometimes recover or just camp on the platform, be ready because they can rush from there. If you have to escape, jump outside the window and go inside the window right under. But if you manage to tank the mutants, you won't need to escape, :3


    The platform
    strongholdplatform.png

    It's one of the hardest spot to camp on. Why? Not much space between you in the door. If you all stay on the edge, you might be able to hold them but always watch the door. Obviously, you won't survive if you're only 2. You need as much people as possible, like your clan. I don't guarantee it will works, but if we don't give a try, how we'll know, :)


    The Gate
    strongholdthegate.png

    Not an easy one too, but works well if nobody stand near the gate. Stay beside the metallic door on the left and shoot the gate when mutants come. Of course, maiden can boost on mutants head to get on the wall, always check everywhere. If it gets out of control, jump on the box and camp on the long wall. You must also understand that both door don't face each other, so mutants have a little advantage on that one. But it might work, :D

    Be sure to check everything and you will tank the mutants for a while!
  • Let's have a sit and watch the show at the Merida amphitheater!
    merida.png

    I can easily compare this map with Excavation, mainly for 2 specifics spot and also because it's really exposed! Running isn't the best solution in this map, there's maybe a way to set up a path, but mutants can easily prevent your path. So, I suggest to camp in one of these spot! If you play on Hero Mode, then, don't leave your spot to join the Hero (except if he's with you), because he's on the mutants' wanted list. Be careful!


    The Podium
    podiumv.png

    People will usually camp there because it is a good spot! Of course, there's alot of work to do here! Watch the 3 access, which are 3 broken pillars. Not too hard to cover, but not much space, when we talk about the assassin's grenades. I'll give you a head up about Assassin's grenade, exclusive for you guys! Don't need to tell everyone, just your friends/clanmates whatever! Just before it explodes, jump, simply as it sounds. So you won't fall off! :3 If it gets out of control, reach one of the wall below the podium (2 wall in the front in the pic). But then, mutants are able to boost from under and from the other wall if they run fast enough! Good luck!


    The Balcony
    balcony.png

    This spot is similar to the basic spot in Excavation. Except that maiden can't really jump on the balcony this time. Only two side to watch, shouldn't be too hard heh? If any assassin is present in the game, either you jump as I mentioned or you keep running backward against the wall. It should works! You do not want to finish in the mutants campment below the balcony! If many watch both side, the others can always shoot the mutants on the platfom in front of the pillars and the balcony. This will help the soldiers watching the pillars so they don't waste too much bullets!


    The Narrow Tunnel
    narrowtunnel.png

    This spot will be really popular. Humans have the advantage because mutants must get you while crouching, so it's not the time to reload at the same time. But, there's only one major problem with this spot. It's basicly the Bloc spot from Research Facility except smaller. What I mean by that, well, too much humans result someone near the entrance, which you want to avoid to all cost. Also, if you really want to be in the back, you must understand that if one become host infection, you're pretty much screwed, xD Be careful on that side. Last note, if any Assassin is in the room, walk backward. Trust me, you can get pushed toward the exit.


    The Cage
    cage.png

    Pretty much like the one in Excavation, but I think it has more space (in my opinion). So, almost the same rules will apply! Never go near the cage entrance. You never know when a mutants is waiting for you from the sides or even above, so stay back and shot. Try to aim the entrance only, because if you start to shoot mutants through the fence, you'll get distracted and forget to shoot the entrance, :3


    The Tunnel
    tunnel.png

    This tunnel is beneath the seats section. You're probably asking: "How the hell are we supposed to camp there?" Sounds hard indeed, because it is! Shooting the half-close gate should'n be that hard, but I suggest 3 and more covering that gate. While the others hold the mutants in the tunnel. Don't think it's the easiest spot in the game, it's definitely not, that spot will require as much teamwork as we could. :3


    The Stairs Areas!
    stairsarea.png

    The spot is right behind those 3 pillars! You have the same spot on the other side (on the left, referring to the pic). Shoot the mutants once they turn over the wall (when they step on the floor beside the stair on the left). They are going to rush really hard. Also, if mutants time his jump perfectly, he can jump from the platform (can't really see it, but it's on the left). So imagine a Slug and Dread on full speed! Also, stay away the edge, they can easily reach you. I would recommand to regroup on the corner and shoot both side, :3 Good luck soldiers and beware not to fall! It's not safe these days with all those winds and shadows...
  • Such a good day for shopping in this mall? :3 (Temp image)
    lobbymap55.png

    Such a huge map, pretty much wide open, with few stores, panels signs, storage room, etc. You won't look too much for spots, but I'll still post all the one I know.


    Top Stores
    storesrooftop.png

    It's one of the spot that everyone will usually camp. Alot of space, all you need to do is tanking the mutants when they walk on the narrow passage that link both top stores. Be sure to keep an eye behind, because they can boost. I'll make a link to this spot when I'll talk about this specifics place where you can boost. Good resistance!


    The Fountain
    fountain.png

    It's not the easiest spot to survive, but it's hell fun in general. If this spot is good, it's mainly because mutants are forced to jump. Use this advantage to shoot them. I think can jump from the fences, but soldiers definitely need to jump from the boxes. You can also boost people on top of the fountain. You always use this fountain as an escape trick, that I really love to use. You jump on the box, on the fountain, then on the other box, it's a really good shortcut if needed, ;D


    Cross Fire panels signs
    crossfiresigns.png

    Very not much space, but you can always jump on your teammates. There's 2 poles with 2 panels each, as shown in the picture. The other pole is on the other side of the bridge, near the boxes, you can't see it on this picture. Basicly, all you need to do is to shoot mutants when they jump and, most important, check if mutants doesn't boost, it's really not that high. Good luck! :3


    Store #1
    store1.png

    On the main floor, behind the fountain, there's a store where the fence is similar to the cage in Excavation. But the hole is larger and the way is kinda, diagonal, so it looks pretty much balanced to me. Like usual, bring strong weapons to resist. Nothing much to say about this post. Just a side note, the fence on the left, you can shoot through it as there's no glass behind, unlike Store #3. Which means you also get mutated through it.


    Store #2
    store2.png

    One of my favorite spot! There's 2 way to get inside: from the top and from under if the glass broke. Now you will say: "oh noes, nubs will break it". Well, it's supposed to be broken! Because it's near impossible to hold mutants from entering this spot. So you break the glass and you let them fall under, in the storage room. But, they can get you if you stand near the hole or if they boost. Now there's another problem when camping in this spot. If you shoot a mutants when he's about to come inside, you got alot of chance to knock him back behind the hole. Be really careful. Also, the hole in the top, stop abit next to the hole, which means you can enter inside if you enter very slowly. You will land in front of the hole. Funny facts: if you go inside, don't break the glass and become host mutants, you're pretty much screwed, xD


    Store #3 (Closable)
    closablestore.png

    The first real interactive door/gate of our version! All you need to do is press the switch inside the store. So how mutants are supposed to enter? From the top left, if you refer to this picture. You can see the access and the small fence. Just shoot this access and knock them back. If they enter, just open the gate and use my escape trick on the fountain than I mentionned earlier! :3 Good luck swith that one, it's a fun one, ^^


    Store #4
    store3.png

    Don't ask me why I show this spot. Myself in CrossFire China I shoot them, because they are kinda useless. But basicly, all you need to do is shoot 1 glass only, and cover from inside. Really not easy, trust me. Btw, the edge outside of this store, is where the mutants can boost to get on the "Top stores" spot. Don't take care too much about this spot, unless you want to give a try, if you're lucky, people will not shoot them.


    Store #4 Top
    store3rooftop.png

    A spot that many people will camp on. I'm pretty sure... All you need to do is boost on it or do the lagg jump. Then you shoot mutants trying to boost from the same place. Also, they can boost from the right side (pic), check the previous picture for a better view. They can also get you just with a good jump from the side also. Be aware of that and should be fine! :3 I'll try to find more spot, I know myself and I'll, ;D Hope you enjoyed this final map update for now. I'll need to make a new fresh guide, more complete about Mutation and Hero + mutants, weapons, teams and of course, maps! Stay tuned and I hope this guide helped you to discover some new crazy spots and helped you to survive! Have a nice day!
  • nice guide even though i didnt read it .. nice
  • Or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCqPhdqkkqg
    ..really...If your obsessed with winning in mutation mode I know how to win everytime..it's not that hard

    Step 1. Load alot of videos on youtube, about 4-5 pages.
    Step 2. Set crossfire priorty on low,

    Good job now run around with 1000 ping and you'll surely win. Proven tested
  • Very Nice tho you talk like 200 ping br mutants are affected by bullets....

    We should go play CFCN again Soon >.> me n you clutching zombies was ftw.
  • Good guide. There are a couple of places that you could add in there but I think they're more 'trap & kill' than camping spots.
  • I read the whole thing. was great and now i pwn mutants with ur tips ! thanks alot.

    GIVE THIS A STICKY , NAO ;D
  • Nice guide, but you can also mention yellow windows in tranquility. especially the one by the last house farthest from the tree
  • lol CONFIDENTIAL!
    Nice guide, usually when i play on research facility some1 shoots the boxes at the beginning of round... but i learned a few more spots and try them out.
  • I can't post anything related to other version of CF. That's why it's confidential, for now. When they will update the others Mutation map, I'll ask a MOD to edit the post by copy/paste my document, :D

    And I glad to have helped few people. :) I'll try to find more spot if possible. As for the windows, yes, it's a good spot, but my guide show the best spot to teamwork. I'll probably make a "One man army" guide related to Mutation mode to show the best tricks to camp alone, escape in case of emergency or simply hide. I'll try to work on this, ;)
  • Yes it is, :) Ok, some spot are always used in general, but I give my own tips. I mean, people always shot mutants that try to boost at A-Site in Port Nano. They cannot reach it, I'm pretty sure, but they can get you if you're on the edge or if mutants make a stairs, loll. Anyway, thank you very much, :D Hope it helps you!
  • This is one heck of a guide!
    Great job! Really good. :)
    Hope more guides come from you.
    Btw; I also like your youtube videos. :P
  • Heheh, sure I will make more, :) Both guide and video, :D

    Good job,probably took u few hours.

    Take the screenshot from the replay, think about what I'm going to say about each spot, making the front page, BBcode and etc. Yup few hours, but I didn't make that in 1 day. Few minutes each day until it's perfect (for me). When I saw the announcement about Tranquility, I rush into CF China, open the replay system and took screen, :D I already knew the map very well and I'm still pwning in it, whatever which version, x)

    Proof:
