In the latest 99 Nights in the Forest update, the forest gets a big shake-up with the arrival of aliens. The Alien Invasion Update introduces new content like crashed UFOs, teleporters to the mothership, and most importantly — two brand-new classes: Alien and Cyborg. If you’re wondering what makes these classes different and how they can help you survive, here’s a complete guide explaining everything you need to know. Check out our Tier List for both Cyborg and Alien!
Alien Class – Master of Night Vision and Tech
- Cost: 100 Gems
- Rating: ★★★☆☆
- Starter Tool: 1x Raygun
The Alien class is great for exploring the forest at night. Thanks to advanced tech, you’ll have much better visibility when it’s dark. This is a huge help when navigating areas with low light or avoiding enemies after sunset. However, the alien tech isn’t perfect. When your Raygun overheats, it affects your sprint speed, slowing you down and making you an easier target if you’re not careful. Level Breakdown:
- Level 1: Excellent visibility at night – Sprint slower when alien tech is overheating
- Level 2: Alien tech recharges faster
- Level 3: Sprint faster when alien tech is at full charge
If you like exploring at night and using futuristic weapons, Alien is a solid pick. Just remember to manage your Raygun’s heat levels.
Cyborg Class – Heavy Armor, Big Damage
- Cost: 600 Gems
- Rating: ★★★★★
- Starter Tools: 1x Alien Armour, 1x Laser Cannon
The Cyborg class is for players who want to go all-in on power and defense. With built-in armor and a laser cannon, Cyborgs are made to take damage and deal it back. But there’s a risk — when the alien tech overheats, not only do you take damage, but your armor also becomes weaker for a short time. Level Breakdown:
- Level 1: – Overheating causes damage and weakens armor
- Level 2: Gain a healing buff when alien tech is fully charged
- Level 3: Kills restore some alien tech energy
Cyborg is best suited for players who prefer combat-heavy gameplay and know how to manage energy levels. It’s a pricey class, but the perks make it one of the strongest if used correctly.
Which Class Should You Pick?
- Choose Alien if you’re looking for better visibility at night and a quick way to explore the map using ranged tech.
- Choose Cyborg if you’re ready to invest more gems and want a tanky fighter with a laser cannon and high survivability.
Visit UFO crash sites to collect alien tech. Use teleporters to reach the mothership and fight aliens directly. Watch your tech heat levels — both classes rely heavily on how well you manage overheating. With these two new classes, 99 Nights in the Forest gives players a new way to experience survival gameplay. Whether you’re scouting the dark or charging into battle, Alien and Cyborg each bring their own style to the game.
