In turn, traits add incremental stat increases to a variety of different character abilities, like reducing your recoil or reloading your guns faster.

Accomplishing different tasks will unlock different traits for your character. The following examines the different traits you can unlock and how they can improve your chances at survival.

It’s still early in the life cycle of Remnant: From the Ashes, so some of this information is… not entirely available as of this writing. We will update this guide as we find more.

Starting Traits

Each character, no matter their class, starts with two traits: Vigor and Endurance. Vigor will increase your health by 2.5% for every point you put into it, while Endurance will do the same for your stamina.

In addition, when you choose an archetype, you’ll be rewarded with one additional trait. The ex-cultist receives the Spirit trait, which increases their mod power generation by 2.5% per point.

The hunter class starts with the Shadow Walker trait, which reduces enemy awareness by 1.5% per point.

Finally, the scrapper gets the Warrior trait, which increases melee damage by 1.25% per point.

Unlockable Traits

Every other trait in Remnant: From the Ashes needs to be unlocked. Here is each unlockable trait, what it does, and how you can add it to your character.

 

We will update this guide as we find more traits or learn more specifics about unlocking each of these. In the meantime, check out our full review of Remnant: From the Ashes or our other guides for the game.
