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.

Honestly, it's not that bad. Having someone who can pass any strength event is nice, and you can give them weapons like a sledge or a scythe that they can use rather well. A max fitness of two is still managable since you can throw just about everything around you when you're running out of stamina, but you really should have a high fitness character on your team to balance it out. I've had a lot of success with TSTC and resilient type, but I also got used to playing really low fitness characters as the first ones I created had 0 fitness each.It's pretty good, but it does have its downsides. I have tried it on a character and it worked well. But it tends to be more usefull depending on the terrain.

For example if your cramped into like a gas station for a gas station siege and you have nowhere to run and cool off in your kinda in trouble but if your in say a yall mart and you have a place to chill out and cool down it is really usefull. Its almost a gaurenteed kill with basically anything. Motocross action games.

Also if your stuck in an area that has a lot of furniture say a cabin of some sorts you have a MAJOR advantage.
