Dead Rails, developed by RCM Games, offers a gripping post-apocalyptic survival journey within Roblox. Your objective is to travel 80 km by steam train from a plague-stricken United States to Mexico, gathering fuel, weapons, and supplies. Along the way, you must fend off zombies, bandits, werewolves, vampires, and even powerful foes like Nikola Tesla. This guide is tailored for players bold enough to tackle the trek solo, helping you prepare for every obstacle the tracks present.

Succeeding solo hinges on reaching a safe zone before nightfall, when more dangerous enemies appear. It’s also wise to stock up on fuel before departing a safe area. As you set off, avoid searching for loot in high-risk central zones—while potentially rewarding, this strategy is too perilous for a reliable solo run. Time moves swiftly in Dead Rails: every 20 seconds on the train equals one in-game hour. Night begins once your train’s clock reads 9 PM.

At your first safe zone, clear any werewolves or zombies hiding near the fortress. The church offers refuge and protection from threats. Visit the trading post to exchange slain werewolf or zombie remains for train fuel. If you’ve defeated outlaws, you can turn in their bodies at the sheriff’s office for bonus currency. Use these earnings to purchase bulletproof vests for your train, boosting its durability during the dangerous nights. Repeat these steps at subsequent safe zones, and invest in a personal firearm and train armor when possible.

Focus on the Zombie Nights

During nighttime in Dead Rails, one of three enemy types may appear: zombies, vampires, or werewolves. If zombies roam outside, consider engaging them—they drop coal, a valuable resource for refueling your train and easing your expedition. Fighting vampires and werewolves, however, is generally not worthwhile; they only drop sellable items. Though the resulting cash can be useful in the next safe zone, engaging these foes is generally too hazardous.

You can enhance your Dead Rails experience—and other Roblox titles—by playing on PC or laptop via BlueStacks, utilizing a larger display and the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
