[@achgelis9889]

Great Video RvidD! Just to add, if you would like to have best third traits: Golden Eagle Marksman (+20 stamina) or Boot Camp Survivor (+20 health) paired with Diehard Veteran (Heroism as the highest specialized skill), ensure Prowess is the 2nd highest specialized skill, and the survivor has approximately ~190 health for Boot Camp Survivor; or ensure Warfighting is the 2nd highest specialized skill specialized, and the survivor has approximately ~135 stamina for Golden Eagle Marksman. A red talon recruit without Golden Marksman Survivor will have ~115 Stamina, and a red talon recruit without Boot Camp Survivor will have ~170 health. Tested 6 times, worked 100%.These two 3rd traits are the best paired with Diehard Veteran, since once their skills are maxed out, the % experience gains are essentially useless. Keep up the good work!

Since most people know about looking at health and stamina before recruiting, I didn't include that and only focused on how to how predict based on skills!

Yeah it's good it will be handy. I usually pick 3 really strong survivors at the start. And will usually legacy pool survivors over as i get influence. Ones that are what i need and op with lots of health and positive morale traits. So being able to pick a strong red talon guy will be nice

[@John-eh6jg]

@badmorty5164 thanks thats a good idea .. I don't really enjoy the actual day break game so I have just been letting zombie sieges run a muck so I get 100-300 of the daybreak influence for each siege on my base to slowly save for a red talon . I get so upset when I get one of them killed though lol it's an extra twist of the knife when I lose one

[@Trojianmaru]

I really wanna use this to get the best 3 recruits to start a dread map without any boons, but my brain starts to melt when I get to the skills and pros and cons, plus not knowing what room unlocking traits will be most useful for the start of the map. I really love self sufficient bases I can leave doing their own thing while I focus on looking for base Mods, gear, and doing missions, but not having the builder boon means I'll have to either waste 2 base slots to build a gen and water catcher, or waste 2 outpost slots to bring electricity and water to the town. Then again, my main focus in the first run will be getting the builder ending so I can get the boon. Only then will I focus on enjoying the map properly and surviving for a long time (I only beat the game on lowest difficulty for it's 4 boons, but it's not as much fun being op when you know the game is going so easy on you that it might as well be mocking you)

[@SaltyRocksPew]

I like my one guy with gut packing and vigil guard. Just the fact he exists in a community makes the community consume less food, including his food upkeep, than if he wasn't there. And he doesn't take a bed, so there's literally no upkeep for this guy.

Hey Rvid! First of all amazing video! Next is a off topic question but since your research skills and devotion to this game is amazing I wanted to ask if you can find out how to do the rare counter attack against a zombie as it bites you. I dont know if this has happened to you yet but on two occasions during the 2 years that I been playing this game the zombie does its bite attack and the moment it connects the survivor shoves them into the ground and not inflicting any damage. I would really love to find out how to do this counter attack more often. I dont know if its a matter or luck or certain buttons pressed. But yea hope to hear your response! Keep those amazing videos coming!

I wish someone had made these in depth videos about character traits. The wiki trait list never explored all the best combinations or the fringe traits, and as the updates kept dropping you had to spend more and more time looking for specific traits like Blood Plague Survivor.

@@StateofDecayScience Cool, thanks!

[@Lowlightt]

Gutpacking is very strong if you plan on using a kitchen. A gutpacking RT will give you 30% food consumption, while rationing will net you 50% rationing, hitting the -75% food consumption. Since the RT has (nutrition) it reduces the penalty of rationing to (-5 stamina, -15 morale) This is still a big hit though. However at -75% food consumption a 12 man base on lethal is only eating 6 food instead of 24. Now if you spend 3 food for a "feast" this gives you (+30 stamina, +10 morale) This brings your base to (+25 stamina, -5 morale) total for the cost of 9 food on lethal. This means a base with a kitchen can go food neutral with 1 tier 3 food outpost late game, or go food positive with 2 tier 2 food outposts, and never need to run a garden/hydro/farm to begin with in base. And of course thats running a 12 man base. If you are playing an 8 man base then you only need 7 food total income to keep this up. Or if you want to add 1 more food cost you can also run a slow cooker which will net you (+10 morale) which brings your kitchen up to a (+25 stamina, +5 morale) So for an 8 man base you can spend 8 food a day on lethal to feed them, get +25 stamina, and +5 morale with a RT gutpacker and really only need a tier 3 food outpost to do it and be making a food profit. Really changes how you can build up your base. Gutpackers are a game changer on lethal.

[@thererick5177]

Can you do a video on how to trigger survivor's 4th traits please

[@AlienFreak69]

I wish they would spawn at your base instead of randomly in the field. It sucks to have to drive across the entire map almost every time. One thing I would add: The bug that prevents a contractor from spawning. You call in and the operator says you don't have enough space for a new agent. That happens if a trader is spawned in your map. They share spawns and if a trader is present, it blocks Red Talon contractors. Same thing with Enclaves. Especially enclaves that are neutral. They can block RT spawns. If your RT contractor is blocked by an Enclave, you have to threaten it and kill the survivors.

[@StateofDecayScience]

Not a bug but game has this limitation to run smoothly in previous gen consoles.

[@AlienFreak69]

@@StateofDecayScience I'm not talking about the Enclave limit. It's the location of the Enclave. I haven't hit the Enclave limit so I don't know if that also causes it but I have definitely noticed that depending on where they spawn, it blocks RT contractors. I've had instances where I only had 3 Enclaves on my map and the RT contractor was blocked. With Traders, every time a Trader was spawned in, the RT contractor would get blocked. I probably don't have to mention that I wasn't at community limit. I generally play with small 4-5man communities.

Best first trait has already been discussed in the video. For the 3rd traits, the additional health or stamina bonus will be great. Check the pinned comment about how to predict them. If you are doing solo survivor run, recruit an RT with Vigil guard 1st trait and Front line experience 3rd trait.. they will have -120% Fatigue severity. They don't need coffee or Espresso. For regular survivors, we can only see if they have any negative or bonus health/stamina by looking at their health before recruiting.

[@StateofDecayScience]

Play Daybreaks. You will earn prestige. Now when you play campaign, you can goto, Radio Menu -> Daybreak There you will see options.

[@TK3477]

Question: Looking over my notes, could it possibly be your negative skill for not having two specializations is based on your lowest skill? Like if your lowest skill is Heroism and you have only one specialization, you get the +25% Fatigue Severity? Because I can see a parallel in Tactics/ -10% Standing as well so low Prowess might give +50% Food Consumed and Low Warfighting might be +25% Injury Severity... just a thought but I think with as strong as all the other links are, I find it hard to believe the negatives are random.

[@StateofDecayScience]

No. Negative trait is random. I tested it. It does not depend on any specialisations.

To be honest.... If i ware u i woulndt waste so much time to roll the dice. Just find first hacker and than change traits in community editor. Thanks anyway for this movie. It helps a lot.

[@CL3VA]

I see that the mobile operations hero bonus is 50% vehicle endurance, could this be paired with the driver quirk to make a car invincible when a driver quirk character uses a car?

[@StateofDecayScience]

People often get confused with the bonuses like this. It is +50% endurance and not -50% damage. If you have 2x +50% vehicle endurance, your car will have +100% endurance which means, your car will be twice as durable as before! The game doesn't have any bonus that offers -50% vehicle damage. So invincible cars is not possible!
