How to Use Wanted Trait

Wanted Effects

Starfield -  Wanted
Wanted
Someone put a price on your head, and word has spread. Occasionally, armed mercenaries will show up and try to kill you, but being cornered gives you an edge - when your health is low, you do extra damage.

Best Traits

Bandits Ambush You Regularly

The Wanted Trait can be useful as an extra source of gear and other Resources. Early on they start off stronger than you so you may have to evade them until you're on even footing.

Increased Damage on Low Health

The second half of the Wanted Trait increases the damage you deal when on low health. This should help you finish fights faster, but it's better to be on the safe side and use Aid and Food Items instead if you want damage buffs.

All Aid Items All Food and Drinks

Good for Unarmed Build

If you're going for an Unarmed build, it's worth picking up Wanted for the damage boost on low health. The extra loot and resources you can get from bandits will also add up.

Tier Explanation
B Good ・High-risk
high-reward and may ruin plans.

Wanted is a high-risk, high-reward trait that will be best for those who can survive firefights easily. The increased damage should help beat enemies faster, but you need to stay at low health. You'll also need to stay alert for bounty hunters that may randomly appear to take advantage of your near-death state.
