The classes at a glance

Class breakdowns

Camper — Starter class

A balanced default with no weak spots — ideal for learning the full gather-build-defend loop before specializing.

Scavenger — Resource specialist

Built for looting and exploration efficiency — the natural supply runner keeping the whole squad stocked.

Medic — Team sustain

Healing and revive specialist. The backbone of any squad that wants to recover fast after a night siege.

Cook — Food specialist

Focused on food processing and hunger management — makes long runs cheaper and keeps the team fed on less.

Ranger — Exploration specialist

Strong at traversal and map coverage — the pick for tracking missing-children clues and pushing into far zones.

Lumberjack — Wood specialist

Chops faster than anyone — the engine behind campfire and base upgrades that demand huge wood counts.

Assassin — Combat specialist

High-damage combat class for players who want to fight The Deer’s minions and Cultists head-on instead of hiding.

### Escape Artist — Escape specialist

Perks for sprinting, escaping chases and detecting threats — the pick for players who want to survive nights without fighting.

### Elemental — Biome specialist

A biome helmet plus status-effect, speed and night-vision perks — strong when the right biome rolls, situational otherwise.

### Woodsman — Wood economy

Starts with the unique Woodsman’s Axe and adds log-storage and giant-sapling perks — a second wood engine for heavy base projects.
