Traits are the personality of a survivor; unlike perks, traits typically determine personality stats. They each have advantages and disadvantages which can help on the party's trip to Canada. Certain traits will guarantee stat combos, which grant additional abilities in text events and trader camps.
By default, only 16 traits are available. Another 12 traits can be purchased in Zombo Town.
