Ultimate Guide to Roblox Dead Rails Class Options

Select Language:

In the game Roblox Dead Rails, players can choose from four main classes: Doctor, Ironclad, Alamo, and Arsonist. Each class has its unique advantages and items that can influence your gameplay and the experience of your friends. It’s wise to have a diverse team with one of each class when embarking on a run to maximize your chances of success.

This guide will provide detailed insights into each class and instructions on how to select or change your class at the beginning of Dead Rails.

Recently, we introduced two new classes: the Conductor and the Priest.

How to Choose Your Class

You can select your class before starting a game by visiting the Tailor located next to the tracks in the starting town.

Classes can be acquired using Bonds, and once purchased, a class can be retained for multiple sessions. Remember to choose wisely as each class needs to be bought separately!
