Operator traits will play an important role in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4‘s DMZ. With these traits, you can create builds focused around your playstyle. There are over 66 different options to pick from, but you can have a maximum of 18. In this guide, I will first explain how each trait works.

Traits can be divided into two major categories: major and minor. Major traits and their effects are always visible, so you can choose what you want. Minor traits are only available when you clear the previous major trait on its path. Moreover, the minor trait effects are randomized.

All traits are also divided into three different trees. Each tree is focused on a specific role, and you cannot have all of them. If you are keen to know more about the best possible traits, you can check out this guide.

To unlock more Traits, you’ll need Operator Trait Points. They will allow you to unlock more Traits. To get more of them, you’ll need to earn XP. You can gain XP by completing different tasks, completing objectives, and killing enemies. Once you exfil successfully and get enough XP, you can then advance your Dog Tag level.

You get an Operator Trait Point whenever you advance your Dog Tag level. Once done, you can then use your Trait Points to unlock a new one. You can invest all the points in just a single tree, or spread them out across all three (or two out of three)
