What Does Endurance Affect?

Health and Action Point from Sprinting

Endurance directly affects your total Health and how much Action Points you drain from sprinting. It doesn't directly give you damage resistances, unless you unlock the Endurance perks that give them!

Unlocks Endurance Perks

You can spend perk points under the Endurance category by increasing the rank of Endurance. Perks under Endurance will give you damage resistances, healing options, additional health, and some immunities!

Note that you also need to increase your player level as it is one of the requirements to unlock a perk!
