How to Use Alien DNA Trait
Alien DNA Effects
Alien DNA | You volunteered for a controversial experiment that combines alien and human DNA. As a result, you start with increased health and oxygen, but healing and food items aren't as effective. |
---|
Good for Early Game
Alien DNA gives a flat +50 bonus to health and Oxygen, so it does not scale well later in the game. Unlike max health, max Oxygen capacity does not increase with levels. There are only a few ways of increasing it like investing in the Fitness Skill and getting the Terra Firma Trait. This makes Alien DNA a good pick up for the early boost in max Oxygen capacity.
How to Deal with the Item Efficiency Reduction
With the Alien DNA trait, healing and food item effects are decreased by 20%, meaning this negative effect will scale until the late game. To manage this, invest in the Rejuvenation Skill and Regeneration Pack Mod to regenerate health naturally. You can also rank up your Medicine Skill to offset the healing reduction.

How to Remove Alien DNA Trait
Talk to a Doctor at Reliant Medical
You can remove the Alien DNA Trait by talking to a doctor at Reliant Medical. You'll need 10,000 credits to have the Alien DNA trait removed.
You can find Reliant Medicals in New Atlantis, Neon City, and Cydonia.
Alien DNA Incompatible Traits
No Incompatible Traits
Alien DNA has no incompatible traits, so it can be used in combination with any other trait.
Is Alien DNA Worth It?
Worth It
Tier | Explanation |
---|---|
Excellent | ・Increases health and oxygen. ・Lowered healing effectiveness can be managed. |
Alien DNA can be one of the best traits if you don't need to rely on healing. The bonuses to health and endurance could offset the lowered effectiveness of healing items for this trait.
