| Class | Traits |
| Type | Positive Trait |
| Points | -4 |
| Effect | Faster visibility fade. Higher visibility arc. Weapon sights more effective at long range. |
| Conflicts | Short Sighted |
Eagle Eyed gives a character sharper sight. The vision cone is wider, it updates faster, and weapon sights work better at long range.
It is a positive trait and costs 4 points at character creation. It suits shooters, foragers and anyone who wants to spot zombies before they get close. Seeing danger early is one of the best defences in the game.
Eagle Eyed Effects
The vision cone grows wider. The character sees more of the area to the sides. Zombies coming from an angle show up sooner.
Visibility fades faster when turning. Areas outside the cone darken more quickly, and the new view becomes clear sooner. Turning to check a sound gives an answer faster.
Weapon sights work better at long range. A rifle with a scope is more effective at a distance. Snipers and hunters gain the most from this.
Foraging improves a lot. The search radius grows by a full step, so each foraging sweep covers a larger area. A forager finds more food, herbs and supplies in each trip.
Eagle Eyed Conflicting Traits
A character with Eagle Eyed cannot also take these traits.

Picking Eagle Eyed
Eagle Eyed clashes with Short Sighted, its negative opposite. The 4 points buy a broad set of benefits.
Long-range shooters should take it. The scope bonus turns rifles into stronger tools. Foragers gain just as much from the wider search area.
It pairs well with Cat's Eyes for good sight at night as well. Keen Hearing adds early warning from behind, which covers the angle sight misses.
Notes
- The vision cone is wider and updates faster.
- Scopes and sights work better at long range.
- The foraging radius grows by a full step.
- Cat's Eyes pairs well for night vision.
