Forsaken Roblox Guide

A note from the editor

Most Roblox guide sites are built once, populated with a hundred templated guides written by people who never opened the game, and abandoned the moment the next patch breaks their advice. I started Forsaken Hub because I got tired of that. Every page on this site is written or edited by someone who has actually queued for the character it covers, and most of them are updated within a week of any balance patch shipping. If a number on a page is wrong, the email at the bottom of the contact page still works, and I read every message.

The current state of Forsaken is, honestly, the most interesting it has been since launch. Version 5.0.0 “Azure's Wrath” added Roblox HQ and Reborn Family Abode to the public pool and revamped Horror Hotel, 5.1.0 brought the Summer Games variants, and the Official Forsaken Wiki lists The Stalker as the next killer. Every page on this site is checked against that wiki, and where it is silent we say so rather than guess.

What to read first

New players coming to Forsaken for the first time should start with the complete beginner guide, which covers the lobby UI, the queue mechanics, and the first ten matches of expected experience without assuming you know anything about asymmetric horror games. From there, the killers and survivors pillar pages are the natural next stops, and the monthly tier list tells you which characters are currently worth your unlock budget.

Returning players should jump straight to the tier list and the most recent patch reaction post on the blog to figure out what changed. The character pages get monthly refreshes, so the advice for your main may be different from the last time you read it.

Code hunters: Forsaken has no redeem-code system, and never has. Every character and skin is bought with Player Points earned in public matches or unlocked through achievements and collaboration badges. Our codes page explains the real free-reward sources and how to recognise the fake “working codes” videos.

Glossary: terms you'll see across the site

Forsaken inherits a lot of vocabulary from Dead by Daylight and the broader asymmetric horror genre, and the community has invented some terms of its own. Quick reference for the ones that come up most often on this site:

• Loop , a chase pattern around an obstacle (a tree, cover, building corner) where the survivor maintains line of sight or barely breaks it, forcing the killer to commit to a clockwise or counter-clockwise pursuit. “Looping” is the dominant survivor skill: a survivor who can loop three different obstacles in succession can hold a chase for forty seconds, which is enough time for the rest of the team to finish two generators.
• Gen rush, a survivor strategy of committing to generator puzzles as early and as often as possible so the clock loses 12 seconds per finished generator (60 for all five), betting that the round ends before the killer can eliminate everyone. The Guest 1337 + Builderman generator-speed combination is the most common gen-rush composition in the current meta.
• Tunneling , when the killer focuses one survivor repeatedly, killing them off the first elimination before targeting anyone else. Considered poor sportsmanship in most lobbies, but mechanically optimal against bad teams.
• Camping , when the killer waits next to a downed survivor instead of patrolling, preventing rescues. Forsaken has soft anti-camp mechanics (elimination stages tick slower when the killer is within thirty studs), but the strategy still wins matches against uncoordinated survivors.
• Three-gen , situation where the three remaining generators are close enough that the killer can patrol all of them within twenty seconds, preventing any from being repaired without interruption. Hospital and Prison are the maps where three-gen scenarios are hardest to break. The 4.1.0 patch nerfed three-gen consistency by raising the minimum spawn distance between generators.
• SWF (Survive With Friends) , a four-stack of survivors queueing together with voice coordination. SWF win rates run 15–20% higher than the same survivors in solo queue, which is why tier lists separate “solo queue” and “SWF” rankings.
• Bloodlust , a killer-side mechanic that boosts movement speed if the killer maintains chase on the same survivor for more than fifteen seconds without losing line of sight. Forsaken's implementation is faster than the DbD equivalent, which is why long chases favor the killer here more than in DbD.
• Bodyblock , survivor maneuver where you place yourself between the killer and a freshly revived teammate, eating a hit that would otherwise re-down the rescued survivor. Noob and Builderman are the best bodyblock survivors because their HP totals let them absorb hits that would down a lighter character.
• Stud — Roblox's standard unit of distance. One stud is roughly 28 cm, so a 16-stud-per-second base speed is about 4.5 m/s. Most Forsaken stats on this site are reported in studs because that's how the game reports them internally.
• Meta — the currently-dominant set of strategies, characters, and abilities at the highest competitive level. Meta on this site is dated to a specific month and patch version, because untimely tier lists are how you lose matches.

How this site is funded

Plain answer: it isn't yet, but it's designed to be. Forsaken Hub doesn't take sponsored content, doesn't accept paid tier-list placements, and doesn't smuggle affiliate links into guide text. The only planned monetization is display advertising once Google AdSense approves the site, and you'll be able to tell when that happens because banner ads will appear. If you see anything on this site that looks like a sponsored placement and isn't labeled as one, that's a bug , report it.
