Mutation
Chud is a race mutation which transforms the player into a hideous, feral beast that lives in the dark places of the world.
Location
It is located in the Sewers. The mutation spot is inside an APC found in the Chud 'chapel', which is found in the south west area of the sewers. Your best shot is heading to Nukem Academy in western Slagtown and going down into the northern sewers. When you are in the sewers search around in the south west area until you come across the Access Tunnel, you should then head down until you reach the Maintenance Room, head north and then east. Finally, enter into the APC. The mutation is found there.
NOTE: You may need around 8 climb in total to reach the mutation as there are some small ladders. If you don't have this then you could always attempt to jump down to it.

Biff's skin swiftly darkens to a bizzarre grey shade and dries out horribly. His eyes begin to glow faintly yellow as he hunches
over unnaturally.
[ You've developed the 'chud' mutation! ]
Advantages
Wail is useful for summoning a few chud minions in the sewers. The strength of the minions depends on your chud-rep. Chud-rep can be raised by killing more thing in the sewers with your chud homies. The soaks are useful, but nothing amazing. Chud requires a lot of climbing. But without a raw in climb already, the buff from the mutation isn't much. Chuds get claws. Also, Chuds get access to free apartments in the Chudhive.
Also, Chuds can use the Chud Tunnels, which can take them to around the world in a short amount of time from within the sewers.
Disadvantages
Chuds get terrified when in high light (IE: Daylight, average lights anywhere) and get stressed when they are outside. It's not a class for guns users, due to the loss in pistols and rifles. It is a very good idea to avoid prison as a chud. Also, When you die you won't be able to spawn at CA or your own clone vat, You will fall into the sewers which could cause some damage.
Appearance
After mutation you will be given an additional line to your description:
He/She has leathery gray skin, bright yellow eyes, and a hunched back.
Notes
Chud is not for the faint of heart. Indeed, in its current state the Chud mutation offers very little for the competitive player. The minions are quite weak and have severe attention deficit disorder, often wandering off and abandoning you if you're not being interesting enough. The soaks are extremely minor, and the two positive resistances you get aren't potent enough to actually mean much of anything.
You also make some fairly severe payments for this. Being aboveground and outside will result in constant stress ticks, and it becomes impossible to see anything in normal daylight (or similar strength artificial lighting).
Because of this, prospective Chuds are advised to stockpile large amounts of THC and sunglasses. A single dose of THC will negate the stress ticks from being outside, and sunglasses will allow you to see in bright places. As soon as you mutate, go to the Chudhive and claim a cavern to serve as a stash for these essential items, as it will be much easier to retrieve them from there than to go up above to your normal housing complex.
However, Chud is not entirely without benefits. Chud seems most suited towards support builds by offering claws to assist in climbing (the only mutation to do so without penalties to support stats or skills), minions to serve as a screen or combat support, free range of the sewers and other dark places (allowing you to peer into other squares before moving), and the 'Chud Highway' tunnel network.
