Unemployed

Unemployed is not a weakness — it is 8 free points and total freedom to design the survivor you actually want.

Summary

No occupation bonus, but the largest trait-point budget in the game.

Bonuses

• +8 trait points to spend however you choose
• No skill bonuses, no fixed identity — full customisation

Why Veterans Pick It

An occupation bonus is just pre-spent points in a fixed direction. Unemployed hands you those points raw, so you can build precisely the trait spread your playstyle needs — combat, stealth, crafting, or a balanced generalist.

Suggested Spends

A common, strong package: Athletic, Strong and Keen Hearing for survivability, partly funded by efficient negative traits like Smoker and Weak Stomach. The result outperforms many fixed occupations for players who know what they want.
