Stout (Extra knockback from melee weapons.Organized (Increased container inventory capacity).Former Scout (+1 First Aid +1 Foraging).
Outdoorsman (Not affected by harsh weather conditions).Below, you’ll see my personal build for a Park Ranger broken down into Positive and Negative Traits. This means you must add either numerous lower-ranking Negative Traits or one higher ranking Trait, such as ‘Very Underweight’ which is worth +10 points, though takes 2 points from Fitness. While it does have many benefits, it does cost a large number of points – 12 to be exact.
The ‘Park Ranger’ Occupation is a personal favorite of mine, it’s incredibly versatile, allowing for faster movement through forests and woodland areas as well as adding 1 skill point to Axe and Carpentry, and 2 skill points to Foraging and Trapping. Well, that’s it for the basics of Character Building! I hope that was easy to follow and made a good amount of sense – in the next section, I’m going to show you a simple and effective build that I regularly play as, as well as the reasons I chose each Trait. Each Occupation provides you with something different, from an extra, job-locked Trait (like Veteran, which comes with the Trait ‘Desensitised’) to additional skills.Īs you can see, the Fire Officer Occupation 1 additional skill point to Axe, Fitness, Sprinting, and Strength, making it an idea Occupation for someone who wishes to focus on combat! It’s up to you what you’d like your character to have been or done, but do note that they each cost a different amount of points. There are several to choose from – including the Unemployed. Almost all Positive Traits have a Negative antithesis, like ‘Speed Demon’! With ‘Sunday Driver’ you drive much slower than usual, and identically, it only costs 1 point.Īs it suggests, your Occupation is what your Character did for work before the Apocalypse broke out. You need to choose your Traits wisely and think about what matters to you the most. You must be wondering by now that if you’ve only got 8 points, to begin with, how are you going to have an Occupation and multiple Traits? Well, to gain points, you must take on Negative Traits! This is where it can become hard to create a well-balanced character. For example, below you’ll be able to see that the ‘Speed Demon’ Trait costs merely 1 point, making it a very cheap Trait.Īs it’s such a cheap option, it has relatively little impact on the game, though, for someone who focuses’ on cars, it may be useful! Here, you’re able to see what Traits you can and cannot afford because everything costs something! The ‘better’ the Trait or Occupation, the more it will cost. If you look at the bottom right of the Creation Menu – and to the left here – you can see that you’ve got ‘Points to Spend’, in this case, 8. You’ll also be able to view what you’ve picked on the right and your skills below that. You’ll find all available Occupations to the left, and Traits, split between positive and negative, in the middle. When loading up the Character Creation Menu, you’ll see something that looks a little like the image on the left.
I’ll be going over each of these points, so don’t worry if you’ve no idea what any of this means! Now, what goes into creating the perfect character?
PROJECT ZOMBOID BEGINNER GUIDE HOW TO
What’s there to know about Character Building?Įverything! Character Building is one of the most important aspects when starting out your game, and learning how to create a well-balanced one can be hard, especially when you have very little experience. It will include a walkthrough of character-building mechanics (the point system, positive and negative traits, and occupations with pictures) and an example of a ‘Park Ranger’ build. This was made with the intention of helping newer players learn how to create a fairly balanced character, so will be written fairly simply. A guide to Character Building within Project Zomboid – specifically for unmodded gameplay.
