Roblox Dead Rails: Tips for Beginners

by Emery Dec 09,2025

Dead Rails is a post-apocalyptic survival adventure on Roblox where players traverse a plague-ravaged world aboard a steam locomotive. Developed by RCM Games, it blends resource management, combat, and strategy as you journey 80 kilometers to Mexico, facing hordes of undead, outlaws, and supernatural dangers. This guide for newcomers details the core game mechanics and offers helpful tips to advance more quickly.

Between safe zones, you will discover structures containing valuable loot and potential threats. Engage enemies only when properly armed, as firearms are essential for dealing with outlaws. While melee weapons can handle zombies in the early stages, guns become more useful later. Always be aware of enemy numbers, particularly in towns.

Survival Tactics During Night Time

In Dead Rails, nighttime intensifies the danger rather than providing relief. Your enemies remain active, and on nights with a red moon, a new vampire-type enemy appears. Eliminating these vampires is highly rewarding, as their bounties provide substantial gold. Additionally, zombies become more active after dark. Keep firing to prevent being overwhelmed. If vampires are nearby, barricade your train, as they can teleport directly to your location.

Mid-Game Strategies

Between 20 and 40 kilometers, upgrade to rifles or shotguns for more reliable performance against tougher enemy groups. Aggressive players might consider classes like Survivalist (ideal for PvE), Cowboy, or Pony Express for early combat advantages, or the High Roller to earn extra bonds from loot.

Rewards

Successfully completing the 80-kilometer journey and defeating the boss Nikola Tesla results in a victory, a star rating, and bonds, the in-game currency. Bonds are used to unlock new character classes and train upgrades. Replaying the game allows you to refine your gear and loot collection strategies.

You can experience Dead Rails and similar Roblox games on a larger PC or laptop screen using BlueStacks, with the added control of a keyboard and mouse.
