Mutations in Storage Hunters: Open World are item value modifiers from storage finds, and the key rule is that stacked mutation multipliers add together rather than multiplying each other.
When you win a storage auction and start pulling out the items inside, some of them roll with a mutation — a special effect that changes what the item sells for. Most mutations push the value up, a few push it into absurd territory, and exactly one drags it down. The single mechanic that trips people up is the stacking math: two mutations on one item don’t multiply together, they add. Get that right and you can read any find at a glance.
What mutations do to auction items

Mutations are random effects that appear on items from storage auctions, and each one applies a fixed multiplier to that item’s base sell value. Roll Gold on a good piece and it’s worth four times as much; roll nothing and it sells flat. The whole system is a value dice-roll layered on top of whatever you already won.
Every mutation and its multiplier
| Mutation | Multiplier | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Dirty | 0.8x | Negative value |
| Cobwebbed | 1.2x | — |
| Pure | 1.5x | — |
| Moonlit | 1.5x | — |
| Silver | 2x | — |
| Huge | 2x | — |
| Tiny | 2x | — |
| Antique | 2x | — |
| Spotless | 3x | — |
| Gold | 4x | — |
| Firefly | 5x | — |
| Ancient | 5x | — |
| Corrupted | 6x | — |
| Wet | 6x | — |
| Shocked | 6x | — |
| Diamond | 8x | — |
| Gem | 10x | — |
| Chrome | 12x | — |
| Timeless | 12x | — |
| Hologram | 15x | High-value tier |
| Void | 35x | High-value tier |
| Secret | 50x | Best obtainable roll |
| Rainbow | Around 75x | Exact value unsettled |
| Black | TBD | TBD |
That’s 24 mutations in total with Black counted, even though Black can’t currently be obtained. The low end runs from Dirty up through the crowd of 2x rolls (Silver, Huge, Tiny, Antique), the mid tier stacks Spotless, Gold and the 5x pair, and then the numbers climb hard through the rare rolls. Rainbow sits at the top around 75x, but that exact figure isn’t nailed down the way the rest of the table is, so treat it as the ceiling rather than a fixed number.
Which rolls make the most money
The money rolls are the rare ones, and they’re where a single item can out-earn an entire auction. Void (35x), Secret (50x) and Rainbow (around 75x) are the jackpots, with Hologram (15x), Chrome and Timeless (12x each), Gem (10x) and Diamond (8x) right behind them. The whole 6x tier — Corrupted, Wet and Shocked — is the point where a find stops being ordinary and starts being worth holding.
The roll to actively avoid is Dirty, because at 0.8x it’s the only mutation that shrinks your payout — a Dirty item is worth less than the same item clean. That said, don’t dismiss the smaller positive rolls out of hand. A humble 2x or 3x on a high base-value item can beat a big multiplier sitting on junk, so always weigh the mutation against what the item is actually worth before it rolls.

How stacking and condition set the sale price

The combined mutation multiplier isn’t the whole story, though. The item’s base value and its condition both still shape the final sale price, and the order of operations matters — the mutation multiplier is applied before the condition curve, not after. On top of that, values above $1,000 run into a 60% hard cap, so the biggest-ticket items don’t scale as cleanly as the raw multiplier suggests. If you ever need to work out a mutation you can’t identify, you can back it out from three numbers on a single-mutation item: its exact sell price, its 100% max value, and its current condition percentage.
Raising your odds of a mutated item
| Method | Effect |
|---|---|
| Increase your Luck stat | Raise it through upgrades, achievements, and accessories to improve mutation odds. |
| Place Gavel Trophies | Set them down before an auction to boost mutation chances; they stack with each other. |
| Watch weather events | Some mutations are tied to specific weather, so time your runs around it. |
| Unlock the time capsule | Reach $100,000 net worth to open it behind the shopping mall and apply mutations to specific items. |
Mutations come down to luck when you win an auction and check what’s inside, but a few things tilt the odds in your favor before you ever open a locker. Push your Luck stat, seed the room with trophies, and keep an eye on the sky.
Before every auction, place your Gavel Trophies and push your Luck stat as high as it goes — the trophies stack with each other and both stack the odds in your favor before you open a single locker.
Mistakes that cost you profit
The most expensive mistake is doing the stacking math wrong — multiplying combined mutations instead of adding them makes you overvalue items and pay too much to win them. Right behind it is chasing Black, which is currently unobtainable, so any time spent farming for it is wasted. Don’t treat Rainbow‘s exact multiplier as settled either, and never overpay for a Dirty item just because it looks rare — at 0.8x it’s a guaranteed loss on the flip.
One last trap: this is a self-contained value system, and its rules don’t carry over from other Roblox mutation games. Copying multipliers or stacking behavior from a different title will steer you wrong, so stick to the numbers in the table above.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many mutations are in Storage Hunters: Open World?
There are 24 mutations in total when you count Black, which is on the list but currently unobtainable. Since Black can’t be rolled right now, you’ll only ever actually get one of the other 23.
What is the best mutation in Storage Hunters: Open World?
Secret at 50x is the best mutation you can reliably chase. Rainbow is listed even higher at around 75x, but its exact multiplier isn’t settled, so Secret is the strongest known value.
Do mutation multipliers stack?
Yes, and they stack additively. An item with two mutations adds their multipliers together — Silver (2x) plus Gold (4x) equals 6x, not 8x.
Is Black obtainable right now?
No. Black appears on the mutation list but is currently unobtainable, so there’s no point farming for it.
Is Rainbow really 75x?
It’s listed at around 75x, which would make it the highest of all, but that exact figure isn’t confirmed the way the rest of the multipliers are. Treat it as the top of the range rather than a locked number.

How do I get more mutated items?
Raise your Luck stat through upgrades, achievements, and accessories; place stackable Gavel Trophies before auctions; watch for weather events tied to certain mutations; and unlock the time capsule behind the shopping mall once you reach $100,000 net worth to apply mutations directly.
