Super Booster V: Mutant

City of Heroes® Super Booster V: Mutant is now in game and will be available tomorrow for $9.99/€8.99/£5.99 on the NCsoft® store. City of Heroes® Super Booster V: Mutant allows you to harness the powers of mutation to access fantastic new costume sets, bizarre emotes, and the exclusive Secondary Mutation power. This booster pack serial code enables the booster pack features for all characters on the game account from level 1. However, the costume change emotes listed below require unlocking at least one additional costume slot.

Mutant Theme Costume Sets

• The Mutant theme costume sets unlock all-new faces, armor, sleeves, shoulders, gloves, tails, wings, pants and boots.
  • Organic Armor
  • Bioluminescent
• Custom weapons:
  • Dual Blades
  • Broadsword
• Both costume sets include tintable costume pieces, a new feature that allows you to create unique glows for individual costume pieces.

Secondary Mutation Power

• Tap into the incredible potential locked within your DNA. Secondary Mutation allows your character to mutate itself for amazing, unexpected results. Charge into battle with new abilities. Be careful, they may help your foes more than you. There is a chance this power can backfire and turn you into a Rikti monkey. Secondary Mutation is available every 20 minutes and is not affected by recharge buffs. Its effects include:
  • Acute senses
  • Tough hide
  • Pain tolerance
  • Quick reflexes
  • Heightened speed

Character Emotes

• Showoff (/em showoff)
• Growl (/em growl)

Costume Change Emotes

• Activate the following mutant-themed costume change emotes using the costume change interface, selectable from the main Menu.
  • Energy Morph (/cce # CCEnergyMorph)
  • Rapid Boil (/cce # CCRapidBoil)
  • Dimensional Shift (/cce # CCDiminsionalShift)

By default characters only have one costume slot, and must unlock additional costume slots through activities in the game. This can be accomplished by completing costume slot missions at levels 20, 30, and 40, and by using Halloween Event salvage (which can also be bought and sold via the in-game Auction Houses).
