All Classes
In 99 Nights in the Forest your class isn't a skin — it's the difference between surviving night 30 and dying on night 5. Camper trims hunger drain, Witch throws potions, Gambler rigs chest loot, Survivor regens HP. Each one unlocks with diamonds (the premium currency) and tiers up across three stacking perk levels.
Pricier classes usually have stronger perks, but team composition matters more than individual cost. A good squad mixes a high-HP tank, a support (Witch or Medic), a resource farmer (Camper or Lumberjack), and someone who actually likes fighting after dark.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many classes are there in 99 Nights in the Forest?
There are currently 39 classes in 99 Nights in the Forest. The lineup has grown over time with updates like the Volcanic Biome Part 2 patch, which added Fire Bandit. One class, the Decorator, was removed from the game, but it still appears in the records.
What is the cheapest class and is it worth buying?
Camper is the cheapest class at just 10 Diamonds. It starts you with a Flashlight and reduces hunger drain by 10%, but most players consider it a weak pick since Flashlights are easy to find in chests anyway. If you are brand new, Scavenger (25 Diamonds) or Hunter (40 Diamonds) tend to offer better value for the price.
Which class is the hardest to unlock?
Engineer costs 1,000 Diamonds, making it the most expensive class in the game. It lets you build automated turrets at the workbench using gears and scrap, and at level 3 your turrets shoot even faster. It is a strong choice for players who love a defensive, base-building playstyle.
Can classes level up, and how does that work?
Yes — every class has three levels, each unlocking a new perk. You level up by completing class-specific challenges, such as getting kills with your starter weapon, travelling a set distance, or placing defenses. For example, Assassin levels up by racking up kill damage without taking hits at the Cultist Stronghold.
Which classes are best for playing in a team?
Chef and Cook are standout team classes — Chef cooks unique recipes that give huge bonuses to all players, while Cook seasons food so it restores more hunger. Base Defender shines in groups by placing upgradable defenses that protect the campfire during cultist raids. Medic is also a solid pick if teammates need healing support.
