To survive in Dead Rails, players need to work in a team. To make it more interesting for you to form a party, the developers added a Class system to the game. Therefore, in this guide, you will find a detailed Dead Rails Class tier list, in which we have ranked all the Classes from the best to the weakest.
Unlocking Classes is quite expensive in this Roblox survival horror, but they can significantly simplify your survival by adding various passive bonuses to stats. Moreover, your starting inventory also receives bonus items.
Updated on April 25, 2025, by Artur Novichenko: In this Tier List, you will find the current ranking of all Dead Rails classes. We have added all new classes, up to v1.0.0-alpha.578. And of course, the balance of power has changed a little, so some classes are now in higher tiers.
Dead Rails: How to Reach 80,000M
Dead Rails is an intense train survival game in Roblox. Here is how to get to 80,000M and complete the game.
How to Unlock Classes in Dead Rails
New players in Dead Rails always start with the None Class, or in other words, no Class at all. You do not get any abilities or modifiers. Moreover, you will only have a Shovel in your inventory. Of course, this is a good challenge for your skills, but by changing Classes, you can get a completely new experience in Dead Rails, and for this, you need to visit the Tailor.
His Shop is easy to spot in the lobby town because of the huge sign. Players just need to go inside and talk to the NPC to go to the Class selection menu. At the time of writing, there are 16 Classes in Dead Rails, each of which costs a different amount of Bonds.
All Classes in Dead Rails offer various bonuses and starting equipment, but the Doctor deserves special attention, as he can be both one of the best Classes and quite mediocre, depending on who is playing him. Thanks to the ability to heal other players without spending items, as well as having medicine items from the start, he is the best choice for playing in a team. However, you should change to another Class for solo runs.
To make it easier for you to choose which Class to spend Bonds on first, we have ranked all Dead Rails Classes from best to worst in our tier list.
