This increases how far you can "see" behind your character and is enough of a buff that you can fast-forward and still react to zombies that attack from behind. Whether you get lucky with a tub of ice cream in the freezer or come across a couple of sticks of butter putting on long-term weight is not so hard in Project Zomboid. The negative effects from these traits will not last. There's also an unlisted benefit that's hard to quantify but lets you literally hear zombies from behind you as if they were in front of you. Even for multiplayer. Positive Traits: Speed Demon 1/5 Waste of one point. To stop crashing all the time, drive slower. Water is easy to obtain. if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'setreadygame_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_8',113,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-setreadygame_com-medrectangle-4-0'); if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'setreadygame_com-narrow-sky-1','ezslot_16',146,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-setreadygame_com-narrow-sky-1-0');Considering that you can get water through many different sources all the way through the game, I generally consider this free points. Great list! Panic while performing first aid isnt really an issue. Funnily enough this is the one negative trait that actually includes a little positive effect as well. You gain a form of 'Brave' after surviving long enough. I also asked them to read the rest of your guide. Categories Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted. Wakeful.

This will get you killed. Its also very cheap considering the bonus. Stops you from reading skill books, massively reducing your skill XP gains. Though its hard to justify taking for 8 points. About 2 weeks? More experienced players may find the points spent better elsewhere instead. Good with adrenaline junkie, but panic can really screw you over in combat. However, if you go a while without smoking, you will become unhappy until you reach the point of depression. More annoying than anything. This trait would be a hard sell even as a negative. Both fitness and strength are very hard to level up. Because of this, it's an easy +4 points that can be used to get an extra positive trait. This list will show you my personal favorites and make you think of some traits you didnt consider before. While the power is still working throughout the world you can get water from any kitchen or bathroom, after the power and water have been cut off of course you can boil water using a campfire to make it drinkable. Starting the list off with one of my favorite negative perks it is time to talk about high thirst. In a game where getting injured has a high chance of death, you won't want to get hurt often anyway. Nimble along with weapon proficiency and fitness is the key to taking on sizable groups effectively. 3- Depends on how you want to play. One of the best traits frequently recommended by the Project Zomboid community is Short-Sighted. You are correct. Also prevents you from using the radio for weather/helicopter event warnings. If your character is lucky enough to live for a couple of months, claustrophobic will be completely gone. You can diet your way down to a healthy weight fairly easily, but it prevents you from taking + fitness traits, and reduces your fitness by 2.

Allows you to keep a regular schedule, stay out of the dark, and excercise/forage/run/fight more before getting sleepy. Because of this, we would recommend giving it a try as it can easily help you get a high-cost positive trait. Or just don't go outside in the wet and cold? A lot of people are happy being slowpokes.

What are traits in Project Zomboid? One of them is asthmatic, which I don't think should be too much of an issue if I'm going for a stealth build. Plus the fact that each of them gives you 10 whole points to spend on skills is wild. YouTuber Retanaru also posted a great video breaking down some of the best traits to use that you can see here. The problem being, this is per tick, so if you're on a tile for 9 ticks and there is a 92% chance, you'll almost always likely be seen regardless, because it's not a 92% chance the whole time, it's 92% chance per tick which happens extremely fast in terms of gameplay. First Aider: also easy 1/5. ._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} Before posting try the sledgehammer. High Thirst Points: +6 Effect: 200 percent increased thirst. Now, SP and MP differ slightly because of no time forward. It's only useful to save time and hence make the game slightly less boring. You character wont get panicked if they come to a fight, it will just slow the EXP gain. Even with prone to illness and prolonged periods of being soaking wet I've never caught a cold. .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} It helps peel away some of them from larger groups. The first one is called Positive Traits and these perks make your character stronger. It's a pretty genuine tradeoff, not to mention it's annoying to listen to most game sounds muffled. For example, inconspicuous is actually not that great and it's opposite conspicuous can be worth taking as they both only change the chance a zombie will see you on a tile per tick. When choosing traits for a character, remember any skill (other than fitness and strength gets a permanent XP bonus (1- 75% 2- 100% 3+ 125% to that skill, as well as extra level(s.)). Asthmatic: 2/5 very viable since it doesn't actually reduce Fitness, which is what decides how sleepy you get and how fast you attack. Unfit: Very low endurance, very low endurance regeneration. Basically 2 free points. Consensus I've gotten from others on Cat's Eyes definitely makes it at least a 3. -1 fitness, Description: Reduced running speed, low endurance and prone to injury. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. It's entirely unnecessary. I wanna make a full late game character. +1. In order to survive, you do have to put in a little more effort, but you earn more points in return. Privacy Policy. Unhappiness rises when tobacco is not smoked. Don't really need it if you have a profession that gives maintenance though. It might make sense for Smoker to eventually be possible to get rid of, but it looks like it's permanent for now (maybe it represents those people who can never truly ditch the addiction, and not just anyone who's addicted). It reduces the amount of time spent sleeping, increasing the number of hours you can remain awake before the tired moodle appears and giving you more time in the day for whatever. Unlike in real life, being a smoker in Project Zomboid is not all that bad and doesn't cause any health risks. Along the same lines as thin-skinned Hemophobic is another great trait for those that are pretty good at avoiding combat. 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. Best of all you get a whole 6 points at your disposal to spend. Worth considering if you know what youre doing. Rather than the game auto slowing down from fast forward when you get attacked from behind, the game will auto slow down when a zombie enters that short circle behind your character that you get with keen hearing. I would put Keen Hearing way higher. Here you will find what we consider the best positive traits to choose in Project Zomboid. .s5ap8yh1b4ZfwxvHizW3f{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);padding-top:5px}.s5ap8yh1b4ZfwxvHizW3f._19JhaP1slDQqu2XgT3vVS0{color:#ea0027} The only real issue would be sleeping but you can just choose a base with a big enough room to place a bed in. Slow Healer (doesn't really matter; also don't get hurt), High Thirst (water is trivial unless you have month-long drought), Underweight (just gorge yourself on perishable food before the power goes out), Smoker (this is a positive trait disguised as a negative one), Prone to Illness (free points; just don't sit out in the rain naked for hours), Hearty Appetite (food isn't much of a problem and you need to eat enough calories to maintain a healthy weight anyway), Conspicuous (it makes you more likely to be spotted, but zombies are doing lots of spot checks anyway so it doesn't matter much), Weak Stomach (you shouldn't be eating bad food regardless, so this is free points), Short Sighted (it's broken and only decreases your foraging radius), Cowardly (unless you're going up against giant hordes panic isn't really an issue, and Beta Blockers are plentiful), Slow Reader (it's annoying but not bad, you just spend more time fast-forwarding in your base). The XP boosts will be massively helpful too. Overweight/Underweight can be remedied with the appropriate food intake, i think you can get desensitised after killing a shit-ton of zombies - not 100% sure tho. Being even drowsy drastically reduces your melee damage output. My attempt at a meta build had underweight and athletic in the same build; like you said the massive benefit kicks in at 9. This also applies to backpack storage but is still a convenience perk. Keen Hearing greatly increases that radius, letting you "see" threats coming from farther away. 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. The most expensive traits in the game, but often essential to survival. Consider stout and fit if you don't have the points. Each trait takes a certain amount of points away from the player's total of points, so they will also need to select negative traits to balance trait point count. inconspicuous actually sucks. Multiple presets can be made to save a combination of a profession and multiple other traits which offer utility to the players that are eager to get right into the action. You can test this all out using the debug mode of PZ. Although the description of the negative trait says it decreases the player's vision, It appears not to affect the character in any noticeable way. Napkin math puts all of that together as +42 trait points that either can be worked off or will eventually become irrelevant. Some additional thoughts from me: Speed demon has an unlisted downside of making your engine rev WAY faster, and since engine noise is based on RPM this means that cars are WAY louder. Gymnast is S tier just like athletic. ._1aTW4bdYQHgSZJe7BF2-XV{display:-ms-grid;display:grid;-ms-grid-columns:auto auto 42px;grid-template-columns:auto auto 42px;column-gap:12px}._3b9utyKN3e_kzVZ5ngPqAu,._21RLQh5PvUhC6vOKoFeHUP{font-size:16px;font-weight:500;line-height:20px}._21RLQh5PvUhC6vOKoFeHUP:before{content:"";margin-right:4px;color:#46d160}._22W-auD0n8kTKDVe0vWuyK,._244EzVTQLL3kMNnB03VmxK{display:inline-block;word-break:break-word}._22W-auD0n8kTKDVe0vWuyK{font-weight:500}._22W-auD0n8kTKDVe0vWuyK,._244EzVTQLL3kMNnB03VmxK{font-size:12px;line-height:16px}._244EzVTQLL3kMNnB03VmxK{font-weight:400;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText)}._2xkErp6B3LSS13jtzdNJzO{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin-top:13px;margin-bottom:2px}._2xkErp6B3LSS13jtzdNJzO ._22W-auD0n8kTKDVe0vWuyK{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;margin-right:4px;margin-left:4px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._2xkErp6B3LSS13jtzdNJzO .je4sRPuSI6UPjZt_xGz8y{border-radius:4px;box-sizing:border-box;height:21px;width:21px}._2xkErp6B3LSS13jtzdNJzO .je4sRPuSI6UPjZt_xGz8y:nth-child(2),._2xkErp6B3LSS13jtzdNJzO .je4sRPuSI6UPjZt_xGz8y:nth-child(3){margin-left:-9px} You could start at 0 or 3 and level up to 4 or 6.

It's great, I don't know why you think it's bad. The reason is because the penalty is given to you from being overweight, and not picking the trait itself. Feeble and Weak: 3/5 strength is much easier to level than Fitness, and is also less important. Description: Panic when performing first aid on self, cannot perform first aid on others, gets stressed when bloody. Unless TIS changed something Poor Eyesight is permament, used to pick that one and survived for couple of months and it didn't go away but it was long time ago in a galaxy far, far away What about if you quit smoking? Can be overcome when you build up your stealth skills. I picked ugly, underweight, social anxiety, bald, oversleeper and underachiever. I wanted to spice up my character with some positive and negative traits to make zomboid a little more interesting. PERSONALLY my ideal car is a Horizon or Dart with a 100/100 performance muffler so I would not want Speed Demon to ruin the stealthmobile. Seriously, getting both of these will be a slog at the start but thanks to the new exercise system introduced into the Build 41 version of the game you can get your fitness level up by utilizing it. Because of this, it may prove to be a daunting task, and new players may feel unsure which should they pick or which is the best. Similar to angler, if you want to use long blunt take this perk, otherwise, don't. Significantly defeats the purpose of using vehicles. I never play without it. It does make the early game a lot easier, though. If you're an experienced driver with a PC that can run the game well you are simply NEVER going to die to Speed Demon, and the increase in acceleration speeds up gameplay; particularly when it comes to towing. Avoid this like the plague. It doesn't make it trash, but it does make it weaker than many people thought. Basically anything you can put stuff in to. For more guides onProject Zomboid, we at Pro Game Guides have you covered with an ever-expanding roster of guides! This one is pretty easy to mitigate by simply eating a lot of food once you are playing the game. If you manage to level up your fitness level a couple of points you wont see the effect of these traits at all. It can be rather annoying having a character only stressing out any time you go into a tight. To achieve this, you will need to balance out positive traits with negative ones. Both of these traits will make your character pretty much useless when it comes to running around or doing anything at the start of the game. Athletic 5; Strong 3. /*# sourceMappingURL=https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/chunkCSS/TopicLinksContainer.3b33fc17a17cec1345d4_.css.map*/I think Keen Hearing is one of the best traits in the game and has kept me alive more times than I can count. Maybe not deadly, but you will attract a few more zombies. And do they have any negatives that stick forever? This will keep your high tier weapons usable for longer. Positive traits in Project Zomboid give players a specific advantage. Maybe useful when multiplayer releases, but until then this perk is basically useless. Here is some of the best negative traits in Project Zomboid. By using the aforementioned exercise system and making sure youre only eating your greens, you can shed off some kilos easily after picking this perk. When you want to be a peace-loving character, it makes you less likely to kill zombies with a weapon, but it's a nice trait to debuff your character with. Under the hood . Farming is a pretty essential skill in PZ, and the XP and level boost this gives are nice to have. It's good, but even at max speed boost you can be wasting hours of your real life into this game by taking this trait instead of Fast Reader. After about a week in-game you wont be struggling from this anymore. Expensive, prevents you from taking slow healer, mostly useless. 2 High Thirst. Nimble increases your move speed in combat stance but is almost impossible to level without some kind of boost. First Aid is such a brokenly bad skill it shouldn't even be in the game currently. Underweight - 6 points. As long as you arent fighting zombies in melee combat non-stop theres no reason that should need first-aid. Towing is broken in the latest update but Sunday Driver has always made towing difficult to impossible. Just watch life and living and read books for the first week to level cooking. Of course things like cats eyes will be more useful when the world is set to pitch black nights, and other perks have specific uses to peoples playstyles so you may find them occasionally more useful than I may have rated them. Overweight, I always pick overweight. Very useful for finding Axes and Sledgehammers. I'd put Dextrous at 3. It is 99% the answer to all these posts. Can't add to the post as i am newbut thank you:-). Just avoid getting fractures and you will barely notice you have the trait. A great one to take with pacifist is Fast Learner as it will end up in a net positive multiplier for weapons. Useful for stealth, but you can always just stop moving to avoid making sound. One decent trait for getting a couple of points back is of course slow reader. Finding rare weapons is a chore with this. Of course, some are rendered irrelevant by the extreme end game: Slow reader is not .
