Best Class for Beginners

🔧EngineerRECOMMENDED

The Engineer class gives you a turret that automatically shoots enemies. This is like having an extra player helping you! The turret provides consistent damage without requiring any skill from you.

Note: Engineer requires Day 7 login reward to unlock the purchase option, or you can buy it directly with Robux.

Survival Tips

  • Keep moving! Standing still gets you surrounded.
  • Use shotguns - they're the best weapon type in the game.
  • Don't waste scrap on weak weapons. Save for Plasma Shotgun.
  • Play with friends - co-op makes the game much easier.
  • Focus damage skills early, survivability later.
  • Watch your ammo - reload during safe moments.
  • Learn enemy patterns - some are more dangerous than others.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Spending scrap on every weapon - focus on a few good ones.
  • Ignoring class perks - level up your class during waves.
  • Not moving during combat - you'll get surrounded.
  • Forgetting to pick skills after waves.
  • Playing solo when you're new - try co-op first!
