Strength is a passive skill.

Overview

Strength experience is gained by performing strength exercises, carrying more than 50% of the player's weight capacity, and running. Strength experience is also granted when hitting zombies with melee attacks, and cutting trees.

Skill effects

Strength affects several of a character's physical abilities, including:

Some combat elements, such as the player's melee damage, push knockback, and knockdown chance.
The player's default maximum encumbrance.
The chance to successfully force locked windows open.
The chance to successfully climb tall fences.

*Carry capacity is also affected by various moodles, such as being hungry or injured.

**These values shouldn't be possible in the base game without bugs or debug/admin mode, as the respective traits for low or high strength levels should be automatically gained.

Note: As a character gains levels in strength and fitness, they will gain or lose certain traits.

A character with the feeble trait will lose it upon reaching level 5 in strength.
A character without any strength-related traits will gain the stout trait upon reaching level 6 in strength.

Players should note that the strength and fitness levels gained as a result of the stout, strong, fit, and athletic traits, as well as the strength and fitness levels lost as a result of the feeble, weak, out of shape, and unfit traits, only affect the character's respective skill levels when they are selected during character creation.

For example, if a character gains the strong trait as a result of reaching level 9 strength during gameplay, they will receive the trait's icon () in their traits list and the trait's boost to knockback power, but not the +4 to strength that the trait offered during character creation.
