Dead Rails Prison Update Guide 6 June 2025 – New Features Overview?

• Three New Classes: Hunter, President, and Demolitionist each with unique abilities and gear.
• New Weapons: Crossbow, elephant rifle, blunder bus, and the legendary Excalibur sword.
• Explosive Gameplay: New items like bear traps, landmines, and gunpowder barrels. Explosions can chain-react with other explosives.
• Ballista Turret: A mounted giant crossbow that can be placed on your train for defense.
• Rejoin System: Players can now join servers mid-game using server IDs, with the option to make servers public.

Exploring Still Water Prison

The new prison is packed with detailed environments like jail cells, officer desks, and even a Death Row section. It’s an impressive map that feels like a mini base-building zone, despite Dead Rails being focused on continuous train movement.

• Enemies: The prison enemies are armored and aggressive, using swords and crossbows. Some are former guards and prisoners with mysterious immunity.
• Loot: There are unique weapons and items scattered throughout, including the blunder bus and the elephant rifle. Excalibur can be found in the central area.
• Challenges: The presence of the Goliath boss adds a major fight sequence inside the prison.

The New Classes

1. Hunter: Starts with a crossbow and bear traps. Interesting twist—wild wolves become werewolves in multiplayer, making them more dangerous.
2. Demolitionist: Equipped with four landmines, a gunpowder barrel, and immune to explosive damage. Great for area control and heavy damage.
3. President: Comes with a powerful soldier companion on death but has the downside that enemies can see you from twice as far, adding a strategic risk element.

Each class offers a different playstyle, so try them out to find what suits you best. Also check out our Tier List of Dead Rails Best Class in the game.

• Elephant Rifle: Extremely powerful, capable of one-shotting enemies’ legs and armored targets up close.

• Gunpowder Barrel: Explosions can trigger nearby explosives, allowing chain reactions for massive damage.
• Ballista Turret: Deployable on the train, this powerful turret fires bolts that one-shot zombies. Perfect for defense during train movement.

Boss Fight Tips: Taking Down Goliath
