Players set on exploring the mutated yet nature-dominated world in Biomutant have plenty of choices ahead of them. This open-world RPG places a heavy focus on the decisions one makes and this includes the relationships gamers form with NPCs. Following a great divide that separated the people of the New World, six Tribes have been established, however, the player cannot join all of them.

While one can change allegiances throughout the game, it is best to ally with a Tribe based on their Aura and if it matches that of the player's current character. Those walking down the Dark Aura path should ally with Tribes who crave destruction: the Jagni, the Pichu, and the Lotus.

However, those treading the path of the Light Aura should join up with the other three tribes; those that seek balance and harmony: the Ankati, the Netra, and the Myriad.

One of the first Tribes that the player can encounter in the early parts of the game, the Jagni Tribe is all about being feared and vanquishing their enemies. They want to destroy the Tree of Life so that the ecosystem in the New World can be reset, however, they clearly seek to use this in order to place themselves on top of the food chain.

The Sifu (master) of the Jagni Tribe is Dusk, who is in possession of the Tribe Weapon: the Jagni Tribe Staff. This group of self-interested warriors can be found in Sector 4B.

Very much the opposite of the Jagni (and other Dark Aura Tribes), the Ankati believe in solidarity and think that uniting the Tribes of the New World and defeating the Worldeaters is the best plan for everyone.

Sniper is the aptly named Sifu of the Ankati Tribe and they guard the Ankati Bow. Players focusing on a ranged weapon build should seek this Tribe out in Sector 7B if they are after a decent bow.

Believing that only the strong should remain is the creed that the Pichu Tribe adheres to, and rightly so in a game all about combat and self-evolution. However, the strong individuals they refer to as survivors are likely meant to be their own Tribe members, for this group considers themselves battle-hardened.

Few can debate this, as the Sifu Fluoron Dew holds the Tribe Weapon known as the Pichu Tribe Nanchuk, which can be an excellent armament for players seeking a fast, close-range melee weapon with which to demolish enemies. This Tribe can be found in Sector 12G and are worth seeking out for Dark Aura players.

Taking the role of their region's protectors, the Netra Tribe seeks to preserve life at any cost and is always willing to help those in need. However, they wish to separate the Tribes so as to maintain a distant peace, despite many other Tribes considering this to be counterintuitive to their goals.

Those searching for an accurate and unique weapon should hit up the Tribe Sifu, Emissive Whisper, as they harbor the interesting Netra Tribe Grabbler, which is a novel grappling hook with great combat potential. Reaching the Netra Tribe will require the player to head into Sector 4I.

Extremely militant in nature, the Lotus Tribe desires to subdue, and likely control, all of the other Tribes in the New World. They possess a Maximum Dark Aura, which clearly represents their complete lack of respect for the lives of other Tribes. This seems at odds with the name of their Tribe, as flowers are often seen as peaceful symbols, however, the lotus actually symbolizes purity, regeneration, and rebirth: all things that the Lotus Tribe claims their path will bring.

The Tribe Sifu, Slimy Kong, is a fierce combatant in possession of the Tribe Weapon, the Lotus Shuriken, which can be deadly in the hands of players focusing on high-damage ranged weapons. Those interested in meeting Slimy Kong and acquiring the Lotus Shuriken should head to Sector 8K.

The player will be able to meet the Myriad Tribe around the same time that they receive the choice to encounter the Jagni Tribe, and which one the player should seek first depends on their Aura. Those walking the path of the Light Aura will be quite at home among the Myriad, as they abide by a code of honor. They seek to unify the New World through their Maximum Light alignment that represents their dedication to justice and compassion.

The noble Jet is Sifu of the Myriad and holds the Tribe Weapon known as the Myriad Tribe Boomerang; a solid weapon for those who like unconventional attack patterns. This Tribe can be found in Sector 3C, which is relatively close to where players first enter the New World.
