Short description

Added two new traits to have heavy footsteps (the BSO ones) or lead footsteps (combat magboots or mech)

Heavy footsteps is a 0 for trait points as it gives you away easier, lead footsteps requires bodybuilder and uses up 2 points as it's a bit annoying.

Why we need to add this

I wanted the heavier footsteps trait, discord request wanted the lead ones.

Important Infos

When having one of the two traits equipped, wearing boots with other footstep sounds continues to play the traits sound instead of the boot ones.
