Wits is one of the basic attributes. Wits directly affects time researching containers .
Description[edit | edit source]
"BASIC SKILL. When shit hits the fan, you need to think fast. The quicker you can assess a situation, the better chance you have."
Wits is a basic skill that improves a survivor's search ability. A higher level in Wits allows for quieter and faster scavenging. Level 7 unlocks a Special Technique.
Training[edit | edit source]
"Sharpen your Wits by searching and scavenging." Wit is improved by Searching Containers.
The following traits reduce Wits XP gain rate by half
- Dim Bulb
- Drunk
- Absent-Minded
The Library, when occupied by a survivor with Research skill, doubles XP gain rate
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Wit can also be improved by completing certain missions. The most evident one is Home Away From Home, where the character's Wits increases each time the player approaches a Potential Home Site (a note can be seen at the top right corner of the screen: Rapid Completion (Wits XP Boost))
