Fear is one of the Four attributes that all survivors possess.
Fear increases as characters move through, or spend time in, a block with any z-density over zero. The higher the z-density, the more Fear accumulates. Higher levels of fear effect a survivors performance, making it more likely they will be injured in combat.
Well-armed characters will experience less Fear.
