NPC Natural Gifts

Traits, preferences, and born skills that define your survivors

NPC Natural Gifts are the traits, skills, and preferences that each survivor in your tribe is born with. Unlike your own Innate Talents, these are randomly assigned (with some variation by tribe type) and can be viewed on each NPC's character screen.

There are over 900 possible traits across three categories: Tribe Exclusive (born skills specific to tribe origins), General (common combat, crafting, and survival traits), and Preferences (what they like and dislike). Higher rarity traits (★2, ★3) provide stronger effects.

Full talent database pending. The complete list of 900+ NPC talents requires data extracted from the game's DataTables. Run extract_wiki_content.py in the UE4 editor to generate the full dataset. The sections below show the traits we have icons for.
