Experiment starts with balanced attributes (STR 9 / RES 8 / INT 7), normal 1.0x XP gain, innate bioluminescent dark sight, and is the only survivor capable of reading Training Lab courses and haggling normally with traders—making SAW-01 ideal for medical crafting and quest completion.
Milky (269) sacrifices Intelligence and reading comprehension for superior physical durability, natural limb armor, and amphibious underwater breathing—excelling in flooded Fungal Pools and high-trauma combat encounters where other survivors drown or bleed out.
Dune (705) features a altered collision profile, specialized environmental tolerances, and asymmetric attribute scaling suited for veteran scavengers navigating tight subterranean tunnels and extreme thermal strata.
