It's something experienced players could consider, but even then I think it's mostly viable for longer range weapons like spears and long blunt, since I think less blood gets on the character. On the flip side weak is very good points for this reason. Like I can be facing forward and hear an out-of-place moan and know that there's a zombie behind me but still not in my perception circle. It's an absolutely amazing trait. First Aid is such a brokenly bad skill it shouldn't even be in the game currently. The bonus to crafted structures is nice too but not a major selling point. If anything the two numbers should be swapped, but as knowing how they work and having experience with the game, I'd put them more at like graceful 3 inconspicuous 2. Lastly, the bonus that thick skin provides is so negligible that its not worth the points. ._3Z6MIaeww5ZxzFqWHAEUxa{margin-top:8px}._3Z6MIaeww5ZxzFqWHAEUxa ._3EpRuHW1VpLFcj-lugsvP_{color:inherit}._3Z6MIaeww5ZxzFqWHAEUxa svg._31U86fGhtxsxdGmOUf3KOM{color:inherit;fill:inherit;padding-right:8px}._3Z6MIaeww5ZxzFqWHAEUxa ._2mk9m3mkUAeEGtGQLNCVsJ{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;line-height:18px;color:inherit} Avoid this like the plague. For experienced players this can actually be a positive-ish trait once you get past the early game. Slow reader: 3/5. You'll never get cold in this game (on default climate settings) with all the access to clothing layers, and how unpowered buildings magically heat for huge amounts. Wakeful. Basically 2 free points. The only opinion I disagree with is thin-skinned. I guess it is really playstyle dependent. Gymnast - lightfooted helps with stealth which is meh, so it's 5 points for nimble, but it's totally worth. Prone to illness makes you more likely to get a cold but outdoorsman makes you less likely to get and cold and you're something like 90% less likely to get scratched on a tree which also covers thin skinned. The extra speed will often cause you to crash and badly injure yourself, even with cruise control. It does make the early game a lot easier, though. Always love learning the little quirks like this in the game. .LalRrQILNjt65y-p-QlWH{fill:var(--newRedditTheme-actionIcon);height:18px;width:18px}.LalRrQILNjt65y-p-QlWH rect{stroke:var(--newRedditTheme-metaText)}._3J2-xIxxxP9ISzeLWCOUVc{height:18px}.FyLpt0kIWG1bTDWZ8HIL1{margin-top:4px}._2ntJEAiwKXBGvxrJiqxx_2,._1SqBC7PQ5dMOdF0MhPIkA8{vertical-align:middle}._1SqBC7PQ5dMOdF0MhPIkA8{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-inline-flexbox;display:inline-flex;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;-ms-flex-pack:center;justify-content:center} Tldr get outdoorsman if you get prone to illness and thin skinned. You will amass a whopping 8 points to use on some other positive traits as well. Only downside is sometimes you have nothing to do in a day, leaving your character to get bored and depressed, but thats what sleeping pills and exercise are for.

Im not sure why you rate hiker and gardener so highly. Carry weight before encumbrance didnt increase, nor did the maximum 50 carry weight cap. Probably gonna go back and alter some things. Way more than exercise. Handy: 5/5 literally the only trait to give Maintenance, AND the only trait to give Carpentry. Find the official Discord here: I think speed demon also increases your gas consumption so thats yet another reason not to take it. Kind of a niche case but worth mentioning. As these two are pretty similar to each other i thought id bring them both under the same category. ._3bX7W3J0lU78fp7cayvNxx{max-width:208px;text-align:center} Keen Hearing greatly increases that radius, letting you "see" threats coming from farther away. I'll start with the ones I've been able to determine: Feeble Obese Out of Shape Overweight Poor eyesight .

About 2 weeks? This is intended to be more a general guide for new players- what to consider taking and what to absolutely avoid. Obviously you wont be able to take these traits together but you can match it with others that reduce fitness as well. When coupled with Outdoorsman which removes the negative side-effects of weather you can make a pretty good character for living off the grid. Will have its effects lessened over a few months, though. Consensus I've gotten from others on Cat's Eyes definitely makes it at least a 3. Although note that it's per-detection tick, which I think might be around one real-life second or something? This Negative trait can also be mitigated by simply ensuring you cook your food correctly in Project Zomboid. The reason is because the penalty is given to you from being overweight, and not picking the trait itself. Some traits in Project Zomboid can't be picked at the same time, however, you can pick both Underweight and Fit, which seem to cancel each other out. Both fitness and strength are very hard to level up. NEVER take this. Cookie Notice This will get you killed. Good with adrenaline junkie, but panic can really screw you over in combat. Avoid. For many task that involves you being out in the open near obstructed sight lines (Foraging, Looting zombies, Fishing, Farming, fixing/fueling vehicles, etc), the extra warning in many cases is the difference between life or death. Most persist. This one is pretty easy to mitigate by simply eating a lot of food once you are playing the game. No brainer. No brainer. Grinding out strength and fitness is such a chore and almost impossible at the higher levels so Ill at least take either Strong or Athletic, if not both. I'll start with the ones I've been able to determine: Feeble Obese Out of Shape Overweight Poor eyesight (uncertain, but open to others testing) Underweight Unfit Very Underweight Weak Community provided temporary traits: Solid option for people wanting to live off the grid. Generally high-fat foods are going to be easy to find. Don't have to mash the accelerator all the time. Though its hard to justify taking for 8 points. 25% slower xp gain with weapons. Then again it isnt the worst thing in the world to only be restricted to large houses at the start of the game. One of the best traits frequently recommended by the Project Zomboid community is Short-Sighted. The major reason obese is considered bad (though I usually take it anyways) is because it reduces your fitness. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. If youre being stealthy you can generally avoid getting into danger but youre right. Athletic 5; Strong 3. In order to survive, you do have to put in a little more effort, but you earn more points in return. The mechanics are complicated but a few levels in nimble/lightfooted largely nullify clumsy, and being in stealth gives zombies a chance to ignore your footstep sounds on top of that. Pacifist, despite what it says, only makes you get 30% less experience with weapons. Could be worth taking in conjunction with the negative perk "Prone to Illness" as it gives you 2 free points, which is why I didn't rate this lower. Ranking All Negative Traits in Project Zomboid Kokoplays MB 53K subscribers Join Subscribe 12K Save 512K views 1 year ago #ProjectZomboid #Build41 I'm ranking all negative traits in. HOWEVER, they can be overcome after a few months making them free points. Join. The critical chance of attacks is capped between 10% and 90%. inconspicuous actually sucks. The end result is usually pulling a few more zombies than you would without the trait, making it a decent negative trait for a combat build. Towing is broken in the latest update but Sunday Driver has always made towing difficult to impossible. If you're hurt, just bandage it up and wait, first aid does very little to help you. The only reason it isn't more highly ranked is after a few months you get less and less panic from zombies anyway. Stay aware of your surroundings and it wont be a problem. ._12xlue8dQ1odPw1J81FIGQ{display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle} Oh, you mean in game? And leveling up shooting is fairly easy with so many zombies and a few boxes of shotgun shells. I've never found food to be a massive issue in this game, just forage for a few hours and you'll have enough food for the week. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations.

Short Sighted: 4/5 I think even when it is functioning (I think it doesn't do anything right now). Kinda boring to sit through, though. The extra speed will often cause you to crash and badly injure yourself, even with cruise control. January 15, 2022 by Jeff Project Zomboid is a zombie survival RPG with very deep mechanics. One decent trait for getting a couple of points back is of course slow reader. Will the withdraw symptoms cease after awhile? Scratches and Lacerations you can heal from but theres no coming back from bites. If an attack is blocked the damage is simply negated. Axe and long blunt boosted, 2 great weapon choices. To achieve this, you will need to balance out positive traits with negative ones. Or just don't go outside in the wet and cold? Chances are you are taking a character with an occupation and already have an idea on what which weapons you wish to skill up. The annoyance and extra time of Hemophobic would put it at 3/5 in my opinion. One tiny mistake and the character youve had for a few in-games weeks/months is gone and so are your skills. Thanks for posting your list! Many months ago I did a list on my top 10 best traits in Project Zomboid. Overpriced but underrated IMO. You could start at 0 or 3 and level up to 4 or 6. Handy - little carpentry boost, considering additional construction health there won't be random hordes of zombies coming to your base late into the game, so no real need for more durable constructions in SP. You are correct. Still, if your character is the farmer of the group and will stay mostly out of the action, a thin-skinned hemophobic will give you plenty of points to spend on some great perks in the positive traits side. Tomatoes do have a reason to be grown in that they can be used in mouse traps (IDK why), however they're still bad because the plants grow too few tomatoes and take too long to grow in comparison to cabbage.
