Please note: This list is out of date. A visual mutators interface has been added and is now the standard way of initiating mutators. The descriptions here may also be partially out of date, however, the general rules still apply, and mutators can still be initiated in this fashion if desired.
Before initiating a mutator, be sure you have correctly installed all of it's components. After manually downloading a file, be sure to open your Nerf Arena Blast Directory. There are several folders in it. Open the .zip file you downloaded and put all the files in their respective folders...
7/2/10 - Added RajMutators2 V 1.5 mutators, Berserk and Bomb Riot to the list.
5/27/09 - Added RajMutators V 5.0 mutators to the list.
4/4/10 - Added Egg Hunt mutator to the list.

By the way, not all mutators will contain all of these files. This installation guide applies to anything in NAB, whether its a map, mutator or gametype.
Disclaimer: Some of these are buggy, or don't work properly. DON'T blame me, sure I've made a few mutators, but most of mine work to an extent. : P
Initiating the mutator in single player :
1. You will need to know the EXACT file name of the map you wish to mutate and the class/name of the mutator.
2. When in NAB, hit the ~ key, also known as the tilde key.
3. Type the following:
open (the name of your map)?mutator=(mutatorfile).(mutatorname)
While it's not really case sensitive, the capitals are shown here for clarity. For an example, PM-Adam'sLiving-Room with the M-16 Mutator would become...
open PM-Adam'sLiving-Room?mutator=M16.M16Mutator
4. Press enter and the level will load. It may take a moment.
Note that multiplayer has different ways of doing this. If you're an admin on a server, you might try replacing "open (mapname)" with "admin servertravel (mapname)". You can also use the 'mutators' text field in the 'set up server' tab if you want an easier way.
General rules with weapon replacement mutators :
1. When using more than one mutator on a level, it is safest to type the weapon replacement mutator last in the list.
2. Never use more than one weapon replacement mutator on a level if the weapons they replace overlap.
3.As with most mutators, weapon replacement is buggy on levels without default gametypes and weapon replacement mutators must be added to the ServerPackages list in order to function properly in the case of multiplayer servers.
