1. Camper
The Camper class is the cheapest class that you can get in 99 Nights in the Forest. This class isn’t that useful, as the perks aren’t that great.
- Rating: 1 star
- Level 1 Perk: 10% reduced hunger drain
- Level 2 Perk: Increased Nighttime visibility
- Level 3 Perk: Spawn with a Stew
2. Scavenger
The Scavenger isn’t a great class either due to its poor perks and a lack of a starter item. You can see the perks yourself in the list given below:
- Rating: 2 star
- Level 1 Perk: 2 sack space.
- Level 2 Perk: Open chests 20% faster.
- Level 3 Perk: Chance to get scrap as a bonus item from chests.
3. Base Defender
The Base Defender is a decent class if you are considering playing the round as a defensive unit. It comes with some good defensive perks that can help you protect your camp.
- Rating: 2 star
- Level 1 Perk: Starts with 2 defense blueprints
- Level 2 Perk: Defenses can be upgraded/upgraded durability
- Level 3 Perk: Defenses you place deal higher damage
4. Medic
Medic is a class that solely focuses on healing and reviving in 99 Nights in the Forest. This can be an okayish option if you are playing in a lobby of 5 and your teammates rely on life support.
- Rating: 2 star
- Level 1 Perk: 5x faster revives
- Level 2 Perk: Improved revive on others, restores more health and hunger
- Level 3 Perk: One of your bandages upgrades to a Medkit
5. Cook
The Cook class can be used to make some delicious food in 99 Nights in the Forest. The foods made by the Cook can restore more hunger, which can be useful as you reach more days.
- Rating: 2 star
- Level 1 Perk: Seasoned food restores more hunger
- Level 2 Perk: The Crockpot cooks 20% faster
- Level 3 Perk: 25% chance to make a Hearty Stew
6. Hunter
Hunter is a decent class, with nothing that special of a perk. While the higher pelt drop rate is good, you can always kill more animals and get them anyway.
- Rating: 2 star
- Level 1 Perk: Increased meat droprate
- Level 2 Perk: Slightly higher pelt droprate
- Level 3 Perk: The pelt trader will offer an extra wolf pelt trade
7. Decorator
The Decorator class purely focuses on the aesthetics of the camp. While it may improve the game experience, we find it irrelevant to survivability, which is the main goal of 99 Nights in the Forest.
- Rating: 2 star
- Level 1 Perk: Furniture trader offers +1 item per visit
- Level 2 Perk: Furniture trader is always visible on the map when visiting
- Level 3 Perk: Furniture is discounted by 25%
8. Support
The Support Class is more like an upgraded version of the Medic Class. If you are looking to play as a support for your team, we recommend getting this class.
- Rating: 2 star
- Level 1 Perk: Bond with another player at the start of the game, absorb some damage for the player, and deal more damage when closer together
- Level 2 Perk: Your support eats for both of you 80/20
- Level 3 Perk: You can see the beam to your player at any distance
9. Fisherman
The Fisherman Class in 99 Nights in the Forest is only useful for fishing and has no other benefits. If you are a dedicated angler, then this class might be for you.
- Rating: 2 star
- Level 1 Perk: Your fishing rods level up faster
- Level 2 Perk: Fishing rod casts are instant and further
- Level 3 Perk: Fish hook onto your fishing rod faster
10. Gambler
The Gamler class, as per the name, is heavily luck-dependent. If you love making risky bets and have an addiction to gacha, then you might want to go for this class.
- Rating: 3 star
- Level 1 Perk: 50/50 chance of upgrading/downgrading standard chests on opening
- Level 2 Perk: 60/40 chance of upgrading/downgrading standard chests on opening
- Level 3 Perk: 10% chance for chests to also drop coins
11. Ranger
The Ranger is a really good class, due to its attack-based perks. This class solely focuses on Range attack using the Revolver, and can be a solid option for your early game.
- Rating: 3 star
- Level 1 Perk: Start with 18 ammo
- Level 2 Perk: 10% chance to refund ammo on shot
- Level 3 Perk: Start with 30 ammo
12. Lumberjack
The Lumberjack class can be a decent choice if you are the one who is responsible for collecting wood in your team for the entire round. Otherwise, this class doesn’t have much value as there are plenty of wood and trees in the forest.
- Rating: 3 star
- Level 1 Perk: 20% chance to get 1 bonus log from trees
- Level 2 Perk: 25% chance for a double sapling drop
- Level 3 Perk: 20% chance to get 1 or 2 bonus logs from trees
13. Zookeeper
The Zookeeper class in 99 Nights in the Forest was added during the Taming Update. This class is based on taming animals, which you can do using any other class. The perks aren’t that useful either.
- Rating: 3 star
- Level 1 Perk: Your taming whistle levels faster
- Level 2 Perk: Feeding tamed animals restores more of their health
- Level 3 Perk: You can tame animals faster with the flute
14. Farmer
The Farmer is another one of those classes that doesn’t have much value. Yes, it can be useful if you are in a well-strategised team, where your responsibility is gathering crops. Otherwise, naah.
- Rating: 3 star
- Level 1 Perk: Use the watering can to get rarer crops from farm plots
- Level 2 Perk: Some saplings you plant will grow into apple trees
- Level 3 Perk: Farm plots you water are guaranteed to grow 1 pumpkin
15. Brawler
If you love close-range combat, then the Brawler might be the best class for you. The perks are also impressive, boosting your close combat abilities.
- Rating: 3 star
- Level 1 Perk: Can’t use ranged weapons, +40% HP, and +30% more damage with melee weapons
- Level 2 Perk: 10% health regeneration, regenerates sooner after taking damage
- Level 3 Perk: 5% chance to block incoming damage
16. Alien
The Alien class is one of the best classes for survivability. Not only does it deal a lot of damage, but it is also great at sprinting, allowing you to escape from the deer and other entities quickly.
- Rating: 3 star
- Level 1 Perk: Excellent visibility at night and sprint slower when alien tech is overheating
- Level 2 Perk: Alien tech recharges faster
- Level 3 Perk: Sprint faster when alien tech is at full charge
17. Berserker
Berserker is another great class for aggressive gameplay. This class is also really good, and you can consider getting it.
- Rating: 3 star
- Level 1 Perk: After first death, auto-revive with low HP and hunger
- Level 2 Perk: On reviving, receive a strength boost for a short duration
- Level 3 Perk: Deal higher damage as your HP gets lower
18. Chef
The Chef is an upgraded version of the Cook Class. If you are into cooking, then this class is for you.
- Rating: 4 star
- Level 1 Perk: Can cook new unique recipes that give players huge bonuses
- Level 2 Perk: All cooked items are seasoned
- Level 3 Perk: Unlock new recipes
19. Blacksmith
The Blacksmith class is actually useful, as you will be crafting items in 99 Nights in the Forest. This class not only allows you to craft a lot of items, but it also unlocks the higher-tier crafting bench without even upgrading it.
- Rating: 4 star
- Level 1 Perk: You can craft items in the next crafting bench tier (up to tier 4)
- Level 2 Perk: 2 random crafting bench recipes will have discounts
- Level 3 Perk: Chance to get extra scrap from items you put in the grinder
20. Poison Master
The Poison Master is an excellent class to take on any group of enemies. Not only does the poison deal increased damage, but it also spreads as the poisoned enemies die.
- Rating: 4 star
- Level 1 Perk: Your poison effects are stronger
- Level 2 Perk: 25% chance for enemies to spread their poison on death
- Level 3 Perk: Attacks deal increased damage to poisoned enemies
21. Fire Bandit
Just like the Poison Master, the Fire Bandit Class also deals damage over time by setting the enemies on fire. Personally, I am a huge fan of characters that can deal fire damage, and the abilities make this class one of my favourites.
- Rating: 4 star
- Level 1 Perk: Start with an Infernal Crossbow and a Wildfire potion
- Level 2 Perk: Your other tools have a chance to set enemies on fire
- Level 3 Perk: 10% chance to get wildfire as a bonus drop from chests
22. Assassin
The Assassin is one of the best classes in 99 Nights in the Forest, due to its sheer broken passive abilities. Not only does it deal a lot of damage, but it also has great speed. On the other hand, you get some good starter items, making it a must-have class in the game.
- Rating: 5 star
- Level 1 Perk: 10% sprint speed, -15% HP, and 5% chance for Throwing Knives to spawn in chests
- Level 2 Perk: First hit on an enemy has a chance to critically strike
- Level 3 Perk: 10% chance for Throwing Knives to spawn in chests
23. Cyborg
Cyborg is one of the pricy classes, which feels like an upgrade to the Alien Class. And the price of this class is quite a lot in 99 Nights in the Forest. But the perks don’t disappoint.
- Rating: 5 star
- Level 1 Perk: If alien tech overheats, you take damage and your armor is temporarily lowered, and excellent visibility at night
- Level 2 Perk: Alien tech deals increased damage
- Level 3 Perk: Kills restore some alien tech energy
24. Pyromaniac
Pyromaniac is another great class that can solo carry your game round. Why? Read the perks given below and you’ll understand.
- Rating: 5 star
- Level 1 Perk: Reload your flamethrower with fuel canisters and oil barrels, and food is auto-cooked on drop
- Level 2 Perk: Fuel canisters and oil barrels restore even more fuel
- Level 3 Perk: You move faster for every burning enemy
25. Big Game Hunter
Big Game Hunter, as the name says, is a bigger and better version of the Hunter Class, which we discussed previously. The perks are goated, which pretty much explains why this is one of the most expensive classes.
- Rating: 5 star
- Level 1 Perk: Can consume animal pelts to gain permanent bonuses
- Level 2 Perk: Higher pelt drop rate
- Level 3 Perk: You can infinitely consume mammoth tusks to permanently gain health
