The latest Dead Rails update on April 11, 2025, brings a massive wave of content. From new classes with unique mechanics to revamped shop systems and tough new challenges, this update shakes things up for both new and returning players. Here’s a complete guide to what’s new and how to get the most out of Update 5.

All New Classes in Dead Rails New Update

The standout feature of this update is the introduction of four new classes, each with unique traits and abilities that cater to different playstyles. Check out each of their tier list for Dead Rails!

1. Packmaster

• Starts the game with three dogs.

• While they don’t follow you, they help fight off enemies.

• Synergizes well with the new “Dancing with Wolves” challenge, where you tame 20 wolves in a game.

• Wolves can be tamed automatically by getting attacked by them.

2. Musician

• Spawns with a banjo.

• Heals nearby teammates passively—healing stacks with other players.

• However, lacks key tools like axe and shovel, making it a niche support class.

3. Werewolf

• Transforms into a beast at night, doubling speed, HP, and melee damage.

• Daytime comes with a nerf—only 90% HP and damage.

• Especially effective for the “Sell the Corpse of Tesla” challenge due to speed and power at night.

4. Necromancer

• Has a 25% chance to convert killed enemies into your pet.

• Costs 10 HP per successful pet conversion.

• Great for building an undead army, but requires careful HP management.

Revamped Shop System

The shop experience has been overhauled:

• Manual purchase system similar to Lumber Tycoon: Pick an item and place it on the counter. If you have enough money, you can complete the purchase.

• Items no longer restock automatically. Each location has limited inventory, so plan carefully.

• Prices vary: Lightning Rod ($25), Cannon Rails ($75), and more.

• Pickaxe is now buyable ($30), reducing the usefulness of the Miner class.

Major Challenges (and How to Beat Them)

1. Fistful of Dollars

• Objective: Finish a full game without selling anything.

• Reward: 30 Bonds

2. Sell the Corpse of Tesla

• Objective: Kill Tesla, carry him to 70km and sell.

• Strategy: Use the Werewolf class for speed and damage. Trigger Tesla at around 5 PM in-game time. Carry 40 Snake Oils to stay alive and boost movement speed. Do not trigger the crank early; time is critical.

3. Dancing with Wolves

• Objective: Tame 20 wolves in one game.

• Reward: 15 Bonds

• Tip: Let wolves hit you using Packmaster class to turn them into allies.
