Before you make OP Trains or make money fast, you need to prep yourself with our solo guide for Dead Rails Roblox because playing by yourself might be a bit tough sometimes. This game is made for groups, but you can still do well solo if you know what to do. A few handy tips and tricks will help you make your solo experience on this popular game much more smoother.
Our solo guide for Dead Rails Roblox will help you pick the best class, start your run, build your train, and survive tough places. Here’s everything you need to know.
Solo Guide for Dead Rails Roblox

When you start Dead Rails, you can pick a class. You don’t get one for free, so you’ll need Bonds to buy a class. Each class has its own gear and skills. Picking the right class is the first step in this Solo Guide for Dead Rails Roblox.
Best Classes for Solo Play

- Survivalist (75 Bonds): Starts with a Shovel and Tomahawk. Does more damage than other classes, and double damage with long-range weapons. You can also sell the Tomahawk for extra money if you want.
- Cowboy (50 Bonds): Starts with two Revolver Ammo, a Saddle, a Shovel, and a Revolver. This class is great for the early game because you get lots of gear right away.
- Priest (75 Bonds): Starts with two Crucifix, two Holy Waters, and a Shovel. The Crucifix and Holy Water are very strong, single-use items that can save you in tough spots.
- Miner (15 Bonds): Starts with a Mining Helmet, two Coal, and a Pickaxe. You can mine ores and make money early, but this class is less useful later because you can just buy what you need.
- Zombie (75 Bonds): Starts with a Shovel. Has a low detection rate and can eat corpses for health. Good for sneaking around.
- High Roller (50 Bonds): Gets 1.5 times more cash from Money Bags. Good if you want to get rich fast.
Best Way to Start a Run

Every run in Dead Rails starts with a Shovel and $20. You’ll need to do the tutorial, which asks you to pick up and sell a gold bar, buy a few things from the General Store, and leave on the train.
A good tip is to buy three Coal right away. This helps you get through the first area and into the Safe Zone faster. You can also sell extra items your class gives you, but if you picked one of the solo classes above, it’s better to keep your gear.
Best Way to Build Your Train

Before you leave the first safe area, look for three Newspapers. You can use these to block the back of your train. Stand them up next to each other to make a wall. This will help keep enemies out. Later, you can use Sheet Metal for even better defense.
Best Way to Survive Unique Buildings and Raids

Always try to travel at night. This saves daylight for when you really need it. If you get stuck in a town at night, go into a house and cover all windows and doors with Sheet Metal.
When you enter a building or town, focus on finding collectibles. You can sell these for money to buy what you need.
Tips for Unique Buildings:
- Fort Constitution: Bring a rifle and ammo. You’ll face Captain Prescott, who has a $150 bounty.
- Nikola Tesla’s Lab: Get in and out quickly. Grab as many valuables as you can. If you find the Brain in Jar, you unlock the Electrocitioner class. You can also try to make Tesla’s body with werewolf parts and the Brain in Jar, but this is easier with friends.
- Castle: There are vampires and werewolves here. If you’re solo, just try to get through fast using all the coal you have.
- Final Checkpoint: This part is easier than it looks. Outlaws and zombies are not too hard to beat. Go straight to the crank, turn it, and stay away from enemies until the four-minute timer runs out.
