Classes give you starting items and unique perks. They cost Diamonds and can be bought from the General Store in the lobby (or the Classes button on the left side of the screen).

How classes work

  • Stock system — every 24 hours a random selection of classes is available. Rerolling stock costs 10+ Diamonds (first roll is free).
  • Levels — every class starts at Level 1 and can be leveled to Level 3 by completing requirements, unlocking stronger perks.
  • Robux skips — pay 250 Robux to skip to Level 2, or 400 to Level 3.

Best classes by playstyle

There's no single "best" class — it depends on how you play. Here's what the community recommends:

Best for beginners: Camper (10 💎)

The cheapest class, and genuinely good. It gives +10% reduced hunger drain and increased night visibility as you level up. Perfect while you learn the game.

Best for exploring: Explorer (80 💎)

Gets a speed boost after clearing fog, a larger map radius, and reduced hunger drain away from the fire. Speed classes can outrun the Deer — this is the class to pick if you want to roam safely.

Best for combat: Brawler (100 💎)

+40% HP and +30% melee damage, plus health regen and a chance to block damage. The tank pick, though it can't use ranged weapons.

Best for taming: Zookeeper (70 💎)

Levels your flute faster and lets you hold 3 tamed animals. If you're building an animal army, this is the one.

Best for teams: Medic (40 💎) or Support (45 💎)

Medic revives 5x faster; Support bonds with a partner and absorbs damage. Great if you always play with friends.

Our pick

If you're unsure, grab Camper first (cheap and useful), then save up for Explorer — the speed boost is the single best survival tool against the Deer.
