Traits are powerful abilities that you can equip freely in Remnant. This Remnant: From the Ashes Trait Unlock Guide lists all of the traits we have discovered so far including the base stats when unlocked and how you can unlock the trait for yourself.
As soon as you unlock a Trait, you have it. It is automatically applied to your character, you don’t have to do anything yourself. Traits can be leveled by using Trait Points, which increases the power of the particular bonuses of that trait. There is also your Trait level, which represents your overall power – it’s the level of all of your traits combined into a single number.
