If you’re looking to farm bonds quickly in Dead Rails while playing solo, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will walk you through one of the fastest ways to speedrun the game and collect bonds efficiently. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to Dead Rails, this strategy, using the Priest class, will help you rack up bonds quickly, and every bond you collect will be yours to keep.

Before you can begin, you’ll need to unlock the Priest class. This class costs 75 bonds, but its unique abilities make it worth the investment. The Priest is immune to lightning strikes, and you begin the game with two Crucifixes and two Holy Waters, which are crucial for your success. Once you have the class, you’re ready to start speedrunning and collecting bonds.

How to Get Bonds Fast – Step by Step Guide

Now that you have the Priest class, follow these steps for a speedy and efficient bond farming experience:

Step 1: Starting at the Trading Post

  • Upon loading into the game, head to the Trading Post. There, sell your gold bar to gain money, which you will use to buy coal from the General Store.
  • Don’t forget to grab any newspapers available outside the store as they may help in your journey.

Step 2: Head to Fort Constitution

  • The first major goal is to reach Fort Constitution as quickly as possible. This will provide you with your first set of bonds, along with extra weapons and ammo to continue your run.
  • Before reaching the fort (located around 25,000m), be sure to keep an eye out for Bandits. As you pass by certain buildings like furniture, Doctor’s Building, gunsmith, and Sheriff’s Office, you may find valuable loot or horses. Using horses is a great way to speed up your travel time, so make sure to grab one if you can.

Step 3: Gear Up at the Next Fort

  • Once you’ve looted the necessary items and have a long-range weapon (such as a rifle), head towards the next Fort. If you don’t have a short-range weapon yet, buy a shotgun from the Doctor and don’t forget to purchase snake oil if you have extra cash.
  • At Fort Constitution, clear the area of zombies, and then find the captain to grab the key. From there, head to the Supply Depot to collect bonds.

Step 4: Continue to the Castle

  • Your next destination is the Castle, located around 40,000m. Be aware of nearby towns that you might encounter along the way. If you’ve found a horse, use it to quickly raid these towns, using either Holy Water or Molotovs (if you’re using the Arsonist class), which are especially useful against zombies.
  • At the Castle, prepare for a battle and use the snake oil to grab the Vampire Knife. This knife heals you every time you damage an enemy, making it extremely useful during fights. Be careful of werewolves, as they can overwhelm you if you’re not cautious.

Step 5: Fight at the Tesla Building

  • Proceed to the Tesla Building at the 55,000m mark. Inside, you’ll assemble Werewolf Parts at the central machine. After defeating the enemies, a special gun will drop, and you should grab it along with any bonds in the area.

  • On your way back to the train, be sure to collect Dead Zombies to use as fuel for your journey. Keeping your fuel near full is crucial, as running out can slow you down unexpectedly.

Step 6: Final Fight at the Bridge

  • Finally, head to the last Fort and prepare for the boss fight at the bridge. Time your departure carefully so that you arrive at the bridge during the daytime, which will give you a strategic advantage.
  • Clear out the Bandits in the fort and collect all the bonds. When you’re ready, lower the bridge and begin the boss fight. Use the special gun you found earlier in the Tesla Building to take down the boss quickly. Once the boss is defeated, clear out the remaining Bandits to complete your run.

Farming bonds in Dead Rails can be a challenging yet rewarding experience, especially when you utilize the right strategy. With the Priest class and these speedrun tips, you’ll be able to collect bonds quickly and efficiently. Remember to optimize your routes, use your horse for faster travel, and make the most out of your gear. By following this guide, you’ll soon be racking up bonds in no time.
