Sterl500 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 We all have that one trait we can't seem to play without. Sometimes we sacrifice a whole lot in order to play it, other times it's pre-built into the character class. Personally I have three. 1) Outdoorsman - A lot of times, just waiting out the rain to prevent getting ill is just not very fun. That being the case, how about spending a mere two points for all the singing and dancing and running in the rain a body can handle? You could even pay for it with a tendency for illness and never get a cold! (Seriously, why is the rain cold mechanic still a thing?) 2) Lucky - I can't play without this perk. It's just amazing to get more rare loot off of zeds and find two or more axes in that warehouse. Plus it helps you not fudge a repair up. Score! 3) Axe man - Couples just fine with lucky and I get it by just picking my favorite class, the lumberjack or the fire marshal. Swing, swing, chop that tree! Swing, swing, until they bleed! Honourable mentions - 1) Dexterous - For a few points, everything gets in and out of your sack fifty percent faster. Need a bat from your duffel but your dead neighbors keep chasing you? No worries, with dexterous you can shave precious seconds off the search and equip time. 2) Inconspicuous - While this one is kinda expensive, it's well worth the extra negative trait. I guess they mistake you for a dead comrade? Perhaps that bruise you've got from walking into that bar is making you look more dead than you will be in the next few days? Whatever the case, the dead just don't seem to notice you as often, and that's a rare gift indeed. Albie, lucy the axe and daylanb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucy the axe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Lucky and Dexterous, definitely. I experience experiment with other traits but when I drop those two, I just eff up a lot. Thick-skinned and Inconspicuous are starting to be part of my go-to traits too. Sterl500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wratts Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Aside from the common classics already mentioned, I'm very partial to Outdoorsman and Cat's Eyes. Sterl500 and Konrad Knox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerk Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 dextrous, outdoorsman, weak stomach, slow healer (SP) slow reader (SP) maybe fast reader in MP Sterl500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peetfighter Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Illiterate, because reading books is boring and also unnecessary if you are aiming to kill as much zombies as you can and it gives a nice +8 points to spend. Sterl500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayman Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It really depends on your setting/the settings on the MP server you play on. Slow reader or illerterate are good, Athletic+runner are a must in every case. Jack Bower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to sleep whenever you want for almost as long as you want is very very useful. Now if you take sleepyhead AND restless sleeper together, your gonna have a bad time......

Moose65 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 You sure you didn't take restless sleeper instead? That one causes way more problems for me than sleepyhead ever has. Now, if you took both of them, that does create quite a bit of a nightmare...... lucy the axe and Johnny Fisher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yolan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Outdoorsman. I like heavy-eater just because I think survival should be more important. That combined with not eating worms and foraging for berries and I feel its a bit more balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albie Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm a fan of Inconspicuous and Cat's Eyes. I usually take Slow Reader and Hard of Hearing as Negatives. But as mentioned it depends of whether I'm on single or multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KorruptkSwades Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Stout & Fit - if playin' a Firefighter.- otherwise Strong & Athletic. Cats Eyes ('cause I'm a blind m*th*f**k*r ) Dextrous (it soothes my impatience ) Thick Skinned (because zombies bite too dam hard nowadays ) Lucky ( ) Except when using Hydrocraft mod; which is like ALWAYS. Weak Stomach, Hemophobic, Hearty Appetite, High Thirst, Slow Healer, Disorganized, I love these and have been playing nearly all my characters with these for the Realism, Extra-Challenge, Freebies , and especially the POINTS they give so that I can always use my four favorite PROS.

I get bitten and or scratched as much as without this perk (Relatively aggressive playstyle ). I didnt find any axe in the big or small warehouse in Muldaraugh. Maybe I just had bad luck.

Maybe the axe spawned in those areas but in the crates at the back and you need a sledge to access them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
