Traits

Every survivor has some Traits. They determine the survivor's personality and give a brief background about their pre-Outbreak life. Some Traits are just flavor text, while others can give your survivors positive or negative effects. They can even affect your survivors' Core Skills or grant them different Community or Quirk Skills. Most of the Traits also have a Hero Bonus tied to it, determining which Hero Bonuses your survivor can get upon generation.

By default, each character has one to four traits out of a pool of ~1400 available ones. They can also reveal an additional trait about themselves when you have them as a follower. Using Textbooks can also grant them new traits. The page currently lists 1401 of them.

Note: The current HUD can only support showing up to 4 traits, however your survivors can have more than 4. It's not common under normal circumstances though.

General Traits

The following 1327 Traits are available for the survivors you'll encounter throughout your time in Campaign.

Notes:

• There are Traits which have the same exact name, yet do not have the same effects. These skills are marked with an A, B, etc. ending to make them distinguishable.
• The Frustrated trait is a temporary trait given to survivors in your community who are currently Frustrated. Once their morale issues are resolved, the trait also disappears.
• The Someone's Relative trait is a template trait which is only given to survivors who are involved in/recruited through certain missions. It indicates that the survivor is related to another survivor. The other survivor also receives the trait stating the same relation vice versa.
