Yeah why didnt he put it.

Not as free as the others in the video. It’s still a good trait, it just requires slightly more maintenance than the traits in the vid.

@@Brant-vh5mk it's especially free to me because I play with mods, such as "get over smoking" If I can't find any cigarettes in any bars I loot I'll just get my character to recover from smoking overtime

@@coffe_6969 Yeah that's good but smoker does have the perk off getting rid of unhappiness plus especially the fact that you find alot of cigarettes without much use if you dont take smoker.

@@Random_Car_Guy even without the smoker trait cigarettes still remove unhappiness no matter what

Short Sighted is a 'good' negative trait. Arguably not as good as these five, simply because it's only 2 easy points, and these are all worth more.

Thin skin is something I always take, but I can see the argument that it does have a very concrete mechanic that you're just trying to avoid. As for inconspicuous, I'm pretty sure it's bad. Avoiding zombie hearing is worthwhile, but from what I've seen from Retanaru's videos, trying to avoid zombies spotting you while they are looking your way is a fool's errand.

The weight traits are free points, but they aren't without impact. If someone is having a hard time getting started, telling them to play an underweight character isn't going to help.

nah smoker sucks

I prefer overweight, because I dont want to be eating litterally everything that I find

@@Las_croquetoak_de_Txapote If you dont eat it it will rot anyways, the only time overweigth is good is when you play will low food spawn settings

@@Random_Car_Guy I meant that I dont like eating everything I find because I find that annoying gameplay wise

Peeling packs apart a few at a time is the gold standard, but I think this is better done by stepping into zombie vision cones, as opposed to rolling the dice and hoping only a few spot you. Retanaru has some excellent videos looking at stealth in detail. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdd-lcR0tpiufIE.html

I think smoker can bite you in the butt if you're playing with some unusual settings. I'm playing with sprinters at the moment, so I don't loot my kills very often. I came pretty close to running out of smokes.

I believe they were non functional in multiplayer only.

Unless your leg gets injured by a zombie and you're dead in three days =)

You will probably die off the first injury you get. So slow healer and thin skinned are free points

Thirst is so easy to deal with the tea literally water in every building even after power shuts off

Incorrect. Having 2 whiskey bottles of water will sustain you for atleast 2 days with high thirst, I dunno what is it you have to do to go beyond that Slow healer is also free points - use sterilized rags/bandages and change them as soon as they get dirty, and your wounds will heal rather quickly. Besides, there is one advice: dont get hurt... okay? :D If you hurt your legs often you are obviously doing something wrong

Until zombies have trouble seeing in the dark or poor weather, I suspect visual stealth is always going to be a joke.

@@KyleMiddleton7 One of the devs argued with me that stealth is good and that they see worse at night and during rain. I have a bad feeling they might not make stealth usable lmfao.

@@KyleMiddleton7 If they did that the stealth skills and traits would still be useless, as you'd be stealthy anyways at those times. The skills/traits have to risk impacting zombie view distance and/or viewing angles.
