DMZ has multiple Operator types to pick from, and you can deck each Operator up with Operator Traits. Operator Traits are special perks or skills that drastically change the way your Operator functions. There are multiple skill trees to pick from, with each tree specializing in a certain field.
Picking the best Operator Traits can be quite a daunting task, especially with so many on offer. If you’re just jumping into the game and wish to know which Operator Traits are the best, we have you covered. In this guide, we’ll go over the best Operator Traits and give you a list of all that are available, so you can make an informed decision for your build.
Best Traits to use for your Operator in DMZ

The best Operator Traits in DMZ depend on the type of build and playstyle you’re going for. Still, we’ve found the following Traits to be exceptional across most playstyles.
- Possum: This Warfighter Trait allows you to self-revive into a Last Stand once per match. Furthermore, it also restores your HP to its fullest, essentially giving you a second shot at your run. If you play solo, this is the first Trait you should be aiming for.
- Consumable Duration: This Survivalist Trait increases the duration for which your consumables stay active. This is especially useful when using consumables such as the stamina-boosting Smelling Salts, which will last much longer and grant you an advantage in fights.
- Overwatch: This Scout Trait modifies all UAV towers you activate to never expire. This means once the tower is active, it will keep feeding you information for the rest of your run, alerting you to hostile presence.
- Thermal Padding: To counter the Overwatch other players use, you need Thermal Padding. This Scout Trait hides you from UAVs and downgrades the advanced UAVs to UAV detection.
- Field Crafting: This Scout Trait allows you to craft common items on the field.
- Die Hard: This Survivalist Trait automatically calls for Exfil when approached in a Last Stand. It also gives you an infinite bleed-out time during Last Stand, which means that as long as your teammates are alive, you have a chance to survive.
All Operator Traits in DMZ
The game has a wide variety of Traits that you can pick from, and they are split into two categories: major and minor. The major Traits are always fixed, while the minor Traits are randomized for all Operators. For your build, you should always focus on the major Traits and adjust depending on the variables along the way.
