Dead Rails Class guide

It is quite unfair to go up against the hordes of zombies, vampires, outlaws, and other enemies in Dead Rails without having some sort of advantage in your favor. This is the reason why the developers introduced the new Class feature in this experience. You can now join a unique Class to receive specific perks and items once you spawn on the map.

Unlike most other Roblox titles, the Class you will be getting isn't decided through RNG. Instead, you can purchase it using an in-game currency called Bonds. Read on below to learn more about every Class in Dead Rails.

All Classes in Dead Rails and how to get them

In this Roblox title, there are a total of five Classes that you can acquire: None, Doctor, Iron Clad, Alamo, and the Arsonist. To unlock them, you will have to spend Bonds at the Tailor's shop in the lobby. In case you didn't already know, Bonds can either be purchased from the Bank in the lobby or found while exploring the map. You can look for this currency in abandoned houses and bandit camps.

For your reference, we have mentioned the price and specialty of every Class below.

1) None

The None Class has no perks (Image via Roblox)

• Equipped by default

The None Class is the default class that has no perks or stat buffs to offer you. Players who belong to this class simply spawn with a shovel and a brown cowboy hat.

2) Doctor

• Purchase it for 15 Bonds

The Doctor Class provides health supplies, allowing you to become the support system of your team. You will spawn with a shovel, x2 Bandages, x2 Snake Oil, and a bowler hat if you purchase this Class from the Tailor. It should be noted that a Doctor has a special perk that allows them to heal other players by spending half of their health. So, when playing in a team, at least one player should choose the Doctor Class.

3) Iron Clad

• Purchase it for 100 Bonds

The Iron Clad is so far the most expensive Class in Dead Rails. This is because it allows you to play the role of a tank for your team. Those who spawn as an Iron Clad are well-equipped with armor, allowing them to absorb a lot of damage. Upon choosing this Class, you will spawn with a shovel, Helmet, Chestplate, Left Shoulder Armor, and Right Shoulder Armor.

The only downside of picking up the Iron Clad is that it reduces your movement speed by 20%. However, this is to be expected due to the weight of your armor.

4) The Alamo

Fortify your train by choosing the Alamo Class (Image via Roblox)

• Purchase it for 20 Bonds

The Alamo is the ultimate jury rig of the team as they specialize in fortifying the train with specific items. Those who pick this class spawn with x3 Steel Wall, x3 Barbed Wire, a Helmet, and a Shovel. All of these can help you avoid taking damage from bandits, who never stop shooting.

5) Arsonist

Set everything on fire by unlocking the Arsonist Class (Image via Roblox)

• Purchase it for 50 Bonds

If you just really like setting things on fire, then the Arsonist Class is perfect for you. An Arsonist spawns with a shovel, a charred cowboy hat, and x4 Molotovs in their inventory. Using the Molotovs, you can turn enemies into a pile of ash and continue with your run.

6) Cowboy

• Purchase it for 50 Bonds

The Cowboy is one of the most useful Classes in this game as it allows you to spawn with a Revolver and x2 ammo. Apart from this, it also offers a tamed horse so there is no need to find one.

7) Priest

• Purchase for 75 bonds.

A Priest spawns with x2 Crucifix, x2 Holy Water, and a Shovel. What makes the Priest Class worth choosing is its ability to withstand lightning strikes. You can tackle lightning using the Lightning Rod as well, but this requires you to enter Nikola Tesla's lab.

8) High Roller

• Purchase it for 50 Bonds

Choosing the High Roller Class is a bit of a gamble as it has a big advantage and a big disadvantage. Starting with the advantage, it increases your money gains by 1.5x. However, it also increases your chances of getting struck by lightning by 10%. Usually, this class is not recommended unless you really want to earn money.

9) Survivalist

• Purchase it for 75 Bonds

Become a true Survivalist by choosing this Class as it increases your damage output when you get injured. Apart from a shovel, you spawn with a Tomahawk that has decent damage and a fast swing rate.

10) Vampire

The Vampire Class (Image via Roblox)

• Purchase it for 75 Bonds

Vampire is a decent Class that increases your movement speed and melee damage significantly. On the other hand, it allows you to spawn with a Vampire Knife that has a special ability. A Vampire Knife increases your HP as you damage opponents. However, being a Vampire, you will lose HP in direct sunlight so be careful.

11) Conductor

The Conductor Class (Image via Roblox)

• Purchase it for 50 Bonds

As a Conductor, your only job is to take care of the train. This is the reason why you spawn with x2 Coal. Sadly though, a Conductor does not spawn with a shovel. But to make up for it, this class gets the ability to drive the train faster.

12) Miner

• Purchase it for 15 Bonds

The Miner is the cheapest Class in this game that spawns you with a Mining Helmet, x2 Coal, and a Pickaxe. You can easily navigate in the dark using a Miner Helmet, as it has a torch attached to it.

13) Zombie

The Zombie Class (Image via Roblox)

• Purchase it for 75 Bonds

If you choose the Zombie Class, you will lose the ability to use Bandages and Snake Oil to heal yourself. On the contrary, you can feed on the dead bodies of your enemies to replenish your health. This can be game-changing if you and your squad prefer taking down enemies frequently. As a Zombie, your chances of getting detected by enemies are also low, so you can easily go in and out of abandoned buildings to loot items.

What is the best Class in Dead Rails?

If you are playing in a squad then the Doctor is arguably the best Class to choose in Dead Rails. This Class gives you the privilege to heal yourself and your teammates with the healing kits you spawn with. As a Doctor, you can be an excellent support system for your team by helping them withstand the battle for long. Moreover, if your main tank is running low on health, you can give them half of yours.

However, if you are doing a solo run then Vampire can be a great option as well. Not only can you move faster and do more damage but you also carry a Vampire Knife. With this Knife, you can increase your HP upon damaging an opponent. The only downside is that you will lose health under sunlight. But that can be fixed by staying on the train and progressing once the sun sets.
