Traits
Best DMZ traits
18 points. Fill two trees, not three. These builds are an editor's list from 21 October 2026.
From my notes. I am labeling this as Game8's early recommendation. There is no public pick-rate. A balance patch can retire any name on this page. Minor traits are random. Prestige grants a permanent trait.
Three pairings
Warfighter plus Scout: Combat Resistance, Viper Sense, Container Looter, Possum, UAV Upgrade, Thermal Padding. Warfighter plus Survivalist: Combat Resistance, Quick Fix, Consumable Duration, Free Revive, Possum, Numb the Pain.
Scout plus Survivalist: Container Looter, UAV Upgrade, Faster Revive, Impact Smokes, Overwatch, Numb the Pain. All three trees are available. Spreading 18 points across all three is the option the source advises against.
Rules around the trees
66 traits in total. You can prestige three times. The FOB overview is on the DMZ guide. Solo play changes which of these you feel first; see solo.
