Escape From Tarkov: Best Kordbreach Personal Modifiers
BSG has kicked off the first Escape From Tarkov season with massive changes to the game. Among those are seasonal modifiers. Some of them are global and affect every single seasonal character, but not all.
When creating your seasonal character you will be able to choose how you improve or hamper your experience. Here are three builds with tbe best Kordbreach Personal Modifiers in Escape From Tarkov.

The Overall Best Build
This build chooses the absolute best Kordbreach Positive Personal Modifiers while combining it with Negative ones that barely impact your experience. It is aimed for most players who plan to invest a few hundreds hours into this season, which will last half a year.
Marathon Runner and Prodigy are the two best Personal Modifiers in Kordbreach. They benefit each other as longer-lasting stamina will help you increase your Endurance skill, which will in turn be buffed by Prodigy.
Being able to run for longer is a massive plus in Tarkov, especially in the earlier stages. Increasing your skill experience by 30% is an absolute game-changer when some skills are required for certain tasks and take a long time to level-up.
Bushborne is most situational, but it will be useful for the majority of players. Unless you mostly play Interchange, Streets of Tarkov, and Factory, you will be dealing with a ton of bushes. Being able to walk 75% faster through them and reducing the amount of noise they make is a massive plus for almost every map in the game.
These Positive Modifiers cost us 13 points, but we can take Negative us that don’t have a lot of impact. Hemophilia and Osteoporosis are annoying early on, but their impact will be vastly minimized as you level your Health skills, which you’ll do faster due to Prodigy.
Polydipsia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are also a tad annoying, but as long as you keep in mind that you’ll need to be eating and drinking more frequently than usual, you’ll barely notice it. Third Leg’s movement speed decrease is imperceptible and a 5% discount on a Scav Junkbox is amazing.
Allergic is fully random, but even if you’re unlucky it isn’t too bad. You become allergic to three random food or med items. You’ll only find out which ones when you take them in raid. Worst case scenario, you die three times by consuming the wrong item in three different raids. But after you learn that, you can just avoid them.
An Alternative To The Best Overall
This one keeps most of the best overall build intact with a few exceptions. We drop Bushborne for Lucky and Street Tax. These two Personal Modifiers are still a bit of a mystery, hence why we don’t choose it as our truly best build.
No one knows what Lucky does and we’re not sure how much money Street Tax gives. The plus side is that we use three less points, which allows us to drop Osteoporosis on the Negative Modifiers.
Choose this one if you don’t play a lot of maps with bushes or if you’re too scared of the increase falling damage.
The Best Casual Personal Modifiers
If you are a casual Escape From Tarkov player or simply someone who won’t have a lot of time to devote to this Kordbreach season, there is a perfect build for you. Average is, by far, the best Personal Modifier in Tarkov’s first season if you’re not aiming for late game.
It instantly gives you level 25 on all your skills except crafting (which will be maxed due to the global modifiers). This includes the ones you’re familiar with like Strength and Endurance, but also the skills that are nearly impossible to level.
Average gives you a massive advantage over all players who don’t take it in these first weeks of Kordbreach and will remain a viable choice for anyone who can’t devote hundreds of hours to the game.
It does cost 12 points, but that just brings us back to our two previous builds. All Negative Modifiers chosen are directly countered by having higher level skills besides Allergic, which you can simply circumvent after you learn what your allergies are.
