Classes are one of the most important features in 99 Nights in the Forest. They give you special abilities and starting equipment that can completely change how you play the game. Each class has its own strengths and helps you survive in different ways. Whether you want to be a hunter, a medic, or a sneaky assassin, there's a class that fits your playstyle.
How to Change Classes
Changing your class is pretty simple. When you join the lobby, you'll see a general store. Walk over there and you can check the classes available. You can also click the "Classes" button on the left side of your screen without moving around.
You need diamonds to buy new classes, and the prices range from 10 diamonds for the cheapest class up to 500 diamonds for the most expensive one. Each class starts at level 1, but you can upgrade them to level 3 by completing specific tasks. If you're impatient, you can also spend 250 Robux to skip to the next level instantly.
