Getting started

Step

In short Your first kill unlocks your first badge and opens the door to everything else in the game.

When you load in, a ragdoll is right in front of you. Attack it and you earn the First Kill badge. From there, the game is yours to explore — weapons, mutations, vehicles, and tall buildings are all waiting.

Attack a ragdoll hit the first one you see to unlock the First Kill badge.
Try different weapons the game lets you shoot, slice, bite, and inject, so test each method.
Inject a mutation inject a ragdoll to add a new entry to your Journal.
Use the environment throw ragdolls off buildings or put them in front of a car to see the physics engine do its thing.
Check your Journal every new mutation you inject adds a record.

Three challenge badges worth hunting

Tips

In short These badges require specific actions rather than raw kill counts.

None of these three badges come from grinding kills. Each one asks you to do something deliberate, and all three unlock automatically the moment you meet the condition.

Tips worth knowing

Bin Day — climb to the top of the office building, then throw a ragdoll so it lands in the bin at street level.
The Door... — feed the entity behind the door a ragdoll. Once you do, the badge pops.
Meet Your Maker — be in the same multiplayer lobby as the game owner.

Mutations and the Journal

Summary

In short Every mutation you inject on a ragdoll leaves a permanent record in your Journal.

Injecting mutations is one of the core loops in Ragdoll Research. Each injection changes the ragdoll in some way, and the result gets logged as a new Journal entry.

Inject to discover　each mutation you apply unlocks a fresh Journal entry.
Fictional-character powers　some equipment lets you use abilities drawn from famous fictional characters.

Getting the most out of the physics

Tips

In short Height, weight, and speed all change what happens to a ragdoll.

The physics engine reacts differently depending on how you set up each experiment.

Tips worth knowing

Throw from higher up to produce bigger impacts when ragdolls hit the ground.
Stack heavy objects on top of a ragdoll to watch the squish physics in action.
Use a car as a crash-test rig by placing a ragdoll in its path and driving into it.
In multiplayer, grab and fling other players' ragdolls.
Ragdolls react to the world around them and can fight back.

Platform and play-mode basics

Check

The Meet Your Maker badge only unlocks in a multiplayer lobby that the game owner has also joined.

Common questions

FAQ

Can I play solo, or do I need friends?

Almost everything in the game can be done on your own. The only exception is the Meet Your Maker badge, which requires you to be in a multiplayer lobby at the same time as the game owner.

How do I unlock the Bin Day badge?

Get to the top of the office building, then throw a ragdoll so it falls all the way down into the bin on the ground.

What does The Door... badge actually involve?

There is a door in the game with something behind it. Feed that entity a ragdoll and the badge unlocks on its own.
