In Aliens: Dark Descent Stress is a key factor in your team’s survival. As the Marines’ stress level increases, they will suffer negative effects that will affect their performance. If they take in too much, they will develop debilitating psychiatric conditions who can only be treated at the Psychiatric Treatment Unit in the Medbay. This can knock them out for days at a time, so it’s best to manage stress quickly or avoid letting it build up in the first place.

How stress works
To prevent stress, it’s important to learn how it works Aliens: Dark Descent. Otherwise, she can quickly move away from you. Here are some things to keep in mind when managing your Marines’ Stress levels:
- Stress builds as the marines encounter problems. Stress increases when marines fight enemies, when they are hunted, and especially when they take damage.
- Courage relieves stress. Whenever a Marine experiences stress, the amount of stress he receives is reduced by a percentage based on his bravery. Courage can be increased by certain upgrades and attributes.
- There are four levels of stress. As the marines’ stress level increases, it goes from 0% to 100% before progressing to a new level. There are four levels: Relaxed (white), Anxious (yellow), Panicked (orange), and Terrified (red).
- Stress causes trauma. At the end of a mission, Marines suffer Trauma points based on the highest level of Stress they endured during the mission. For every three Trauma points they have, they will develop a psychiatric disorder.

Courage it is a stat that all of your Marines have. It reduces the stress received by marines when they encounter a stressful situation. The higher the stat, the more stress is mitigated.
