Ever wanted to become a super mutant? No? Well too bad! Metamorphosis gives you the option to become one.

In Vault 87 you will have an option to become a super mutant. Vault 87 is normally accessible during Finding the Garden of Eden main quest.

As a super mutant you gain +15 Damage Resistance, +20 Poison Resistance and Radiation Immunity.

You will be considered a friend to super mutants, but the rest of the world will not hesitate to shoot you. Mutants aren't welcome in most places.

You wont be able to equip human armors, but there's a fairly large selection of 13 super mutant armors available. You can loot super mutant armor from super mutant corpses.

In addition, there are 5 new perks available to pick as a super mutant —
Steady ArmYour massive size gives you an advantage. While using a rifle (or similar two-handed weapon), your gun spread is significantly reduced by 40%.
,
PsychoticYour body has mutated to adapt to psycho stimulants. With this perk, effects of Psycho are doubled and the effects of withdrawal are halved.
,
Centaur FriendYou've developed a symbiotic relationship with the Centaurs! With this perk, nearby centaurs will accompany you.
,
JuggernautWith the Juggernaut perk, you'll be able to knock down enemies when running forward.
,
Super Slam!Unarmed and melee weapon attacks have 30% chance of knocking down your opponent.

Furthermore, there's a new super mutant companion - Ghunorn. You can find him outside Germantown Police HQ.
