Project Zomboid Gymnast (2024)

FAQs

Is gymnast good zomboid? ›

5 Gymnast. Nimble is one of the most crucial combat skills in Project Zomboid, and one of the hardest skills to level up. While traits that only give skill points are typically less popular, Nimble is important enough to justify the three trait points cost of the Gymnast trait.

The nimble skill affects how fast a character moves while in 'combat stance', and how loud their footsteps are. The footstep loudness reduction of the nimble skill affects all movement types, not just while in combat stance, and stacks with the loudness reduction from the lightfooted skill.

Some traits can be gained or lost during gameplay, which will depend on the player's activities. Such as the "Overweight" trait, which can be gained if the player reaches a weight above 85, or picked up during character creation and then lost by reaching a weight below 85.

However, weight gain may be needed if the player is already underweight, which has its own set of negative effects. While exercise doesn't directly affect weight gain, it does contribute to burning calories, and thus reducing weight.

Very Underweight is a negative trait.

As innocuous as this may seem, boredom in Project Zomboid can lead to unhappiness, and if your character's unhappy, they'll perform actions slower than usual. Here's how you can stave off boredom in Project Zomboid.

Unlike the M1911 Pistol, the M36 can't jam. It also doesn't require magazines but has a slow reload time. This pistol is also the quietest firearm in the game, so to speak. Its noise radius is only 30 tiles, compared to the 70-tile sound of the D-E Pistol.

High Thirst

This negative Trait really depends on how long you intend to keep a run going. It does get trickier the longer you maintain a character with High Thirst – as the water does get shut off at a certain point in the game – but it's not impossible by any means.

This trait increases the chance of scratches and bites. It gives 8 points and can be selected during character creation.

80 is the standard that you spawn at without traits, and is around what you want to be ideally. Make sure you stock up on ice cream, lard, margarine, butter, fish, bags of beans. They all give lots of calories.

Is pacifist bad zomboid? ›

Pacifist is a negative trait.

Weak Stomach is a negative trait.

It's depending upon what you want and how much endurance you have. Most of the games I start with low fitness or overweight, I need to start with squats because I exhaust too quickly doing sit-ups or burpees to gain fitness quickly. Burpees also give less fitness Xp for a set than just doing sit-ups.

Exercise Fatigue will naturally vanish after around 12 hours of in-game time. There isn't a direct way to get rid of it immediately, but waiting it out will return your character to a relatively normal state, usually with better Fitness and Strength stats, too.

After some extensive testing, Burpees appears to be the best choice. It gives a decent amount of both fitness and strength experience. Pick Squats if you are exclusively training fitness (same exp rate, less endurance loss per session). Pick Push-ups if you are exclusively training strength (higher exp rate).

Apocalypse. If you're playing Project Zomboid for the first time but you've had some experience with zombie games and survival content, this is the best Playstyle to pick at first. Apocalypse is a standard survival mode that places a big focus on stealth and strategy.

Fire officers in Project Zomboid are one of the best starting occupations for multitudes of reasons. They get an extra skill point in axe, sprinting, strength, and fitness, so they are one of the most physically capable characters in the game.
