All New Classes in 99 Nights in the Forest Talents Update Guide

The Talents Update in 99 Nights in the Forest didn’t just bring the new talent system — it also introduced four unique classes that change the way you can approach survival and combat. Each class comes with its own starter tools, special abilities, and progression perks, letting players tailor their strategies even further. Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about these new additions.

Big Game Hunter

Starter Tools: Rifle + Rifle Ammo

Abilities:

• Consume animal pelts to gain permanent bonuses.
• Higher pelt drop rate.
• Can infinitely consume mammoth tusks to permanently gain health.

Playstyle: Best suited for players who thrive on hunting. The Big Game Hunter grows stronger the more wildlife they encounter, making them a powerhouse for long survival runs.

Chef

Starter Tools: Chef’s Station Blueprint + Recipe Book

Abilities:

• Unlocks unique recipes.
• Cooked meals provide powerful bonuses.
• All dishes crafted are automatically seasoned.

Support

Starter Tool: Bandage

Abilities:

• Level 1: Bond with another player at the start of the game. Absorb some damage for them and deal more damage when closer together.
• Level 2: Share your food with your bonded player at an 80/20 split.
• Level 3: Gain visibility of your bonded player at any distance.

Playstyle: The Support class is all about teamwork. By linking with another player, you provide protection, deal more damage as a duo, and even share resources automatically. Ideal for co-op players.

Gambler

The four new classes—Big Game Hunter, Chef, Support, and Gambler—add a fresh layer of depth to 99 Nights in the Forest. Each one offers a different way to play, whether you’re all about hunting, cooking, teamwork, or testing your luck.
