Complete guide to the BEST TRAITS in MODERN WARFARE 4 DMZ
A lot of DMZ players wonder which are the BEST TRAITS in MODERN WARFARE 4 DMZ and which ones are actually worth picking. Basically, each of your Operators can have 3 active Traits, and these choices have a big impact on how you perform in the game—like how fast you exfil, and the quality of your PvP and PvE fights. That's why people are so careful about picking the right ones.
Stick with me as we go over and introduce the BEST TRAITS in MODERN WARFARE 4 DMZ.
What are TRAITS and how do they affect MODERN WARFARE 4 DMZ?
In MODERN WARFARE 4 DMZ, you have three main paths: Warfighter, Scout, and Survivalist. Each one has a few fixed Traits and a few random Traits. Each Operator has their own specific random Traits, and these Traits can be anything—you might get Resource Pockets, Resupply, or even Field Medic.
Note: Since we don't have control over which random Trait we get, we're focusing on the fixed Traits.
Best picks for the Warfighter path
My suggestion for your first pick is Equipment Professional. What this Trait does is slowly refill your Lethal and Tactical. It might be slow, but it's always running. Your other option is Combat Resistance, which reduces explosion damage from enemy Tacticals.
For the next step, you gotta pick between Viper Sense and Quick Fix. Viper Sense helps you stay hidden from Thermal Optics and auto-aiming systems. Quick Fix makes you heal faster after killing an enemy. If you play run-and-gun style, it's better to go with Quick Fix.
For the last pick, you gotta choose between Adaptive Restock and Possum. Adaptive Restock makes enemies drop an extra item when you kill them—could be valuable, could be worthless. But my suggestion is Possum, which gives you a second chance after you die in the game.
Note: In PvP fights, after you get killed by the enemy team, if they're near your body, you can't come back and gotta wait until they leave the area.
Best picks for the Scout path
Continuing the BEST TRAITS in MODERN WARFARE 4 DMZ, we get to the Scout path. This path is for when you wanna know where the enemy is.
The first choice is between Hostile Looter, which gives a chance to get Printer Ingredients from enemies, and Container Loot, which gives you a better chance of more loot from Containers. For players who go after Containers a lot, Container Loot is the right pick. If you wanna know more about loot in the game, I suggest checking out the Full Guide to Best LOOT LOCATIONS.
The next choice is between UAV Upgrade and Field Crafting. I'd pick UAV Upgrade since it increases UAV range and duration, and you can even see which way enemies are looking. Field Crafting lets you craft items in the game.
At the highest level, you gotta choose between Overwatch and Thermal Padding. Overwatch makes activated UAV Towers last until the end, and Thermal Padding hides you from enemy UAVs. If you don't have Thermal Padding, enemies can easily spot your location.
The Survivalist path
On the Survivalist path, in the first step, I think the right pick is Field Medic, which makes reviving faster. Next, you gotta choose between Free Revive and Impact Smoke. Free Revive auto-heals your first wound, and Impact Smoke makes smoke spread after you get downed. I personally prefer Impact Smoke.
In the last step, you gotta choose between Numb the Pain, which brings you back after Revive with Painkiller and Smelling Salts, and Die Hard, which puts you into Last Stand and makes Bleed Out time infinite. You should pick Bleed Out (Die Hard).
