Biomutant: Best early game loot and how you can get it

Entertainment 101's Biomutant is perhaps one of the year's more interesting games, the third-person action roleplaying game puts you in control of your own highly customizable mammalian warrior and sends you into the world with the overarching mission being whether you protect or attempt to destroy the damaged "Tree of Life".

The game's customization is extensive, from the initial character building to an impressive weapon crafting system and bio-mechanical body parts that you can add to your character granting them the ability to fly, climb, or jump higher among other things.

Looting is also an important aspect of the game, with players able to create new weapons and improve old ones by adding "Affixes" to them. Some of these add-ons are not easy to find though, with much of the game's loot being random. However, there are a few key pieces that will almost always be at certain locations and in the early game knowing where to find these can drastically improve your prospects throughout your run.

Head down the corridor but before turning right look towards the vegetation that sits there, amongst the growth you will notice an Ammo Crate.

Inside this, you are very likely to find an Electric Module which is one of the game's special effect add-ons.

The Klonkfist secret room

The next piece of loot is something a bit different and can be found when you are doing The Klonkfist side quest. Once you've broken down the wall you will come to a metal gate.
