Traits are perks that both humans and zombies can use to do a variety of things such as debuffing enemies, buffing allies, improving base stats, and gaining resistance(s) to certain types of damage. Both the human and zombie teams have their own respective trait systems, but the traits themselves have the same basic functionality.
