There are 66 Traits in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ, but you can only ever equip 18 of them at once. To ensure you get the most out of the Traits system in DMZ, we’ll explain in detail how you can get Trait Points and spend them, and showcase the full list of Trait Trees so you know what you’re investing in before there’s no going back.
How to Get & Use Trait Points in MW4 DMZ
You can earn Trait Points by leveling up your Operator’s Dog Tags, which requires DMZ XP. You can have a total of 18 Trait Points active; however, you cannot respec or refund them, so choose wisely. If you do want to reset them, then select a new Operator or Prestige.
To use Trait Points, head to the FOB and interact with the Operators FOB Station (opposite the 3D Printer). You can then click Manage on your chosen operator to view Traits, which will then allow you to invest any Trait Points you’ve yet to use.
