01

How traits work

  • Each Operator earns one Trait Point per Dog Tag rank, from Steel I to Onyx III: 18 in total. Dog Tag ranks come from DMZ XP on successful exfils.
  • There are three trees: Warfighter, Scout and Survivalist. Each has nine rows and you take one trait per row from the bottom up, so a tree holds at most nine. 18 points fills two trees, or spreads across all three.
  • Rows 3, 6 and 9 are Major traits: a fixed pair where picking one locks the other. Every other row offers three random Minor traits, revealed once you take the row below, so two Operators can be offered different Minors.
  • Spend points at the Operators station in the FOB. Picks are permanent: only a new Operator or an Operator Prestige resets them. An MIA Operator keeps their traits if you pay to rescue them, and the fee rises with each trait.
  • Operator Prestige needs Onyx III with all 18 points spent, and costs two weapons, a plate carrier, a backpack, four ingredients and cash (200,000 the first time, 300,000 the second, 500,000 after that). It resets the trees and grants one random permanent Prestige Trait; you can hold up to three.
