Dead Rails How to Play Banjo Guide and All Song You Can Play!

In a world filled with chaos, zombies, and survival struggles, sometimes the best way to relax in Dead Rails is by playing the Banjo. This small feature adds a lot of charm to the game and can be a great way to bond with friends when you’re not running for your life. While most players know how to get a Banjo, very few know how to actually play music on it. This guide will help you understand how the Banjo works in Dead Rails and give you some new songs you can try out.
How to Play the Banjo in Dead Rails
The Banjo in Dead Rails doesn’t use regular music keys. Instead, the developers made it work with camera angles. You can play five different notes by moving your camera to specific positions:
-
Note 1 – Point the camera all the way down, just behind the Banjo
-
Note 2 – Slightly above the ground
-
Note 3 – Around chest level
-
Note 4 – Just above chest level
-
Note 5 – Look all the way up at the sky
Each camera angle acts like a musical note, and with a bit of practice, you can start playing real tunes.
