Noli: health 2,222 · run speed 27.5 · walk speed 8 · stamina 110 · cost 1,100 Player Points · added update 3.0.0. Data card by ForsakenHub from the Official Forsaken Wiki, October 2026.

Forsaken admin killers are real, and the Official Forsaken Wiki lists them: its Characters page has an "Exclusive" section of 13 killers and 6 survivors that only the development team and contributors can play, most of which anyone can also play in a private server with the V.I.P gamepass. Forsaken admin killers, dev killers and "secret characters" are all names for the same thing, and the Official Forsaken Wiki (forsaken.wiki, Characters, Gamepasses and Gamemodes pages, read 15 October 2026) documents them plainly. In its words, exclusive characters "are only playable by the game's development team and contributors. Many of these characters are gimmicky and unbalanced, and are not intended to be played in public servers. Several of these characters are playable in private servers, however, if the V.I.P gamepass is purchased." This page lists every exclusive killer and survivor the wiki names, which of them the V.I.P gamepass unlocks in private servers, the non-playable characters that are sometimes mistaken for secret killers, and what the wiki says is coming next. Lists elsewhere that name a killer called "The Developer", event bosses, a "Workshop" map or a killer Builderman are not describing anything on the wiki: Builderman and Guest 1337 are survivors. For the eight regular killers, visit Forsaken Killers.

Exclusive character counts and V.I.P access (Official Forsaken Wiki, 15 Oct 2026)

• Exclusive killers listed: 13
• Exclusive survivors listed: 6
• V.I.P gamepass: 599 Robux, unlocks 10 of the exclusive killers and all 6 exclusive survivors in private servers only

• Secret unlock codes: none exist; Forsaken has no code system

How You Can Actually Play an Admin Killer

There are exactly two documented routes to an exclusive character, and neither involves a code, a quest or a hidden achievement.

Route 1: be on the team

The wiki defines exclusive characters as playable by the development team and contributors. Several character pages phrase it as "only obtainable by being a staff member in Forsaken or having the VIP Gamepass in Private Servers." That is the whole of the "admin" part: staff can use them, players cannot, unless they take route 2.

•The wiki describes many of these characters as "gimmicky and unbalanced" and "not intended to be played in public servers". Cat's page goes further: its playstyle is "incredibly unbalanced, and isn't meant for actual gameplay."
•None of the exclusive characters appear in public matchmaking. Public servers use the Standard gamemode, which the wiki's Gamemodes page says is the only mode currently playable in public servers.

Route 2: the V.I.P gamepass, in a private server

The wiki's Gamepasses page lists what V.I.P (599 Robux) includes:

•A permanent 25% EXP boost for all characters and a permanent [VIP] title that can be toggled in Settings.
•Exclusive V.I.P skins for Noob, Elliot, Shedletsky and Slasher, plus the Hakari Dance and Who Wins emotes.
•"Developer exclusive content in private servers": 10 exclusive killers (Cat, BRIMSTONE, Horse, Sukuna, Friday The 13th Slasher, John Doe March 18th, Doppelganger Shedletsky, The Swordmaster, Sixer Hunt and Noli Racing) and all 6 exclusive survivors (Martial Artist, SWAT Officer, Noob: The World, The Poisoned, The Kid and The Corrupt).
•Extra skins and maps in private servers too, including the private-server maps SFOTH, Area 51, Template Town, Generator Hell 1 and 2, YellowOnesWrath, Rocket Arena, Showcase, Legacy and Noli Racing.
•Keep in mind that Player Points are never earned in private servers, so time spent playing admin killers there does not progress your unlocks.

There Are No Secret Unlock Codes

Forsaken has no code system, so any video or site offering a "secret code" or "hidden method" to unlock an admin killer is making it up. The only documented paths are being on the development team or buying V.I.P and playing in a private server. If a website asks for your Roblox login to "unlock a secret killer", it is trying to take your account: close it and report it.

Every Exclusive Killer the Wiki Lists

The 13 killers in the "Exclusive / Killers" part of the wiki's Characters page, in the wiki's order. Descriptions are kept to what each character's own wiki page says; several pages are still stubs, and where a page says nothing useful, neither does this list.

Exclusive killers in the V.I.P list (10)

Playable by staff, or by anyone with V.I.P in a private server:

•Friday The 13th Slasher: the buffed version of Slasher from the Friday the 13th event.
•BRIMSTONE: the wiki says its playstyle is "incredibly unbalanced, and isn't meant for actual gameplay"; its purchase quote is taken from the Bible.
•Doppelganger Shedletsky (shown as "Shedletsky" in the Killers menu): shares Shedletsky's appearance and abilities, using Slash and Fried Chicken to attack and heal and Vanish to disappear and reappear.
•Horse: an exclusive character for staff and V.I.P private servers; its page is mostly a stub.
•John Doe March 18th: the wiki's description is still "TBA".
•Sixer Hunt: uses three of Guest 666's abilities (Demonic Pursuit, Blood Rush and Blood Hunt) and the Infected Guest 666 skin, which is based on The Hunter from Left 4 Dead. It joined the V.I.P pool in 5.0.0.
•Sukuna: based on Ryomen Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen.
•Cat: a white, chunky Roblox cat whose playstyle the wiki calls "incredibly unbalanced"; it was added as a replacement when the earlier character Gubby was removed.
•The Swordmaster: a character from Swapsaken (see below).
•Noli Racing (Exclusive): shares its name with the Noli Racing private-server map from 5.1.0; its own page has no description yet.

Exclusive killers not in the current V.I.P list (3)

Listed under Exclusive on the Characters page, but missing from the Gamepasses page's V.I.P list:

•Herobrine: his own page calls him a Developer and V.I.P private-server exclusive killer.
•Sancho and Erlking: version 5.0.0 removed both from the V.I.P pool (the same update that added Sixer Hunt). Erlking is based on Erlking Heathcliff from the video game Limbus Company.
•Because the character pages and the Gamepasses page disagree here, treat the Gamepasses list as the current one and check it before buying V.I.P for a specific character.

The 6 exclusive survivors

All six are in the V.I.P list for private servers:

•Noob: The World: based on Noob and on Dio Brando from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
•Martial Artist: described by the wiki as a Sentinel survivor "over toned with high stats" and very powerful attacks.
•SWAT Officer: the survivor of the Extermination gamemode, in which every survivor becomes a SWAT Officer with weapons and tries to exterminate the killer. Extermination is selected from the command menu in private servers, and the wiki says it is currently broken.
•The Poisoned: a Sentinel from Swapsaken based on 1x1x1x1, with 1x1x1x1's abilities repurposed.
•The Kid: a Survivalist from Swapsaken based on 007n7 and his original form, c00lkidd.
•The Corrupt: another Swapsaken character; the wiki page has little detail yet.

Swapsaken, and Characters Often Mistaken for Secret Killers

Several names that circulate as "secret killers" are documented on the wiki as something else entirely: characters from a side game, regular survivors, or characters you can never play.

Swapsaken

Four of the exclusive characters (The Swordmaster, The Kid, The Corrupt and The Poisoned) come from Swapsaken.

•Swapsaken was introduced as a new game in the 4.1.0 "April Fools" update, which also added a batch of April Fools skins.
•That update made one of the cabins near the Lobby send players to Swapsaken.
•Its characters are reworked versions of regular ones: The Poisoned is based on 1x1x1x1, and The Kid on 007n7 and his original form, c00lkidd.
•The Split emote was first seen in Swapsaken's shop under a different name and price, and was later added to the main game in 5.0.0.

Builderman and Guest 1337 are survivors

Older guides describe both as admin killers that were later released. The wiki says otherwise:

•Builderman is a Support survivor with 90 HP who costs 500 Player Points.
•Guest 1337 is a Sentinel survivor with 110 HP who costs 500 Player Points; the Block ability negates basic attacks only.
•Neither has ever been a killer on the wiki's Characters page, and neither belongs to the Exclusive section.

Characters you can never play

The wiki's "Non-playable characters" section lists characters who appear in Forsaken's world but cannot be played:

•The Lobby NPCs, including Jane Doe in her lore-keeper role in the Lobby basement (her survivor version is unlocked through her quests).
•The Spectre, the bodyless entity that, in the game's plot, pulls Robloxians and locations into the realm.
•2x2, described by the wiki as the creator of Robloxia.
•The Necrobloxicon and modelrig1212 (an unfiction character from a self-contained story), plus a "Minor characters" page.
•If someone claims to have played as one of these, they are describing a mod, an exploit or a different game.

If you want to try admin killers without paying, the honest answer is that you cannot: the wiki documents no free route. If you do buy V.I.P, remember that its 25% EXP boost is permanent and covers all characters, but its exclusive characters only exist in private servers, where Player Points are not earned.

Seeing an Unfamiliar Killer in a Public Round

If a killer you do not recognise turns up in a public match, the documented rules narrow down what it can be.

What the wiki rules out

Three documented facts:

•Exclusive characters are playable by staff, and by V.I.P owners only in private servers. A random public player using one is not getting it through any documented route.
•Standard is the only gamemode playable in public servers, and it uses one killer chosen by Malice against everyone else.
•A wrong-looking regular killer is often just a skin. The killers have many skins, including V.I.P-only private-server ones such as Big 1x1x1x1, 67 Slasher and L4RPK1TT c00lkidd.

What to do

Practical steps:

•Check the killer against the 8-killer list on Forsaken Killers and against that killer's skins before assuming anything unusual.
•If a player is clearly doing something no documented ability does, report them through Roblox's own report feature rather than trying to work it out mid-round.
•Do not install or run anything that claims to give you admin characters; the wiki documents no such tool, and running unknown scripts is how Roblox accounts get stolen.

What the Wiki Says Is Coming

Instead of predictions, here is what the wiki currently lists as upcoming. Nothing below has a release date.

Characters and modes on the roadmap

From the wiki's roadmap pages, update log and Gamemodes page:

•The Stalker: the next planned killer. Its infobox lists HP 1,100 and stamina 60, with playstyle "Unknown".
•The Ringmaster: an upcoming survivor, not a killer, listed with the Sentinel, Support and Survivalist classes.
•Double Trouble: an upcoming gamemode in which survivors face two killers instead of one, with more survivors in the server.
•Randomizer: a planned gamemode that spawns players as a random killer or survivor.
•Chapter 4 is marked "Coming Soon" on the update log; nothing else about it is confirmed.
•The wiki's "Potential characters" and "Scrapped characters" pages exist too; characters on those pages are not in the game.

What This Page Removed, and Why

Some guides list a killer called "The Developer", prototype killers, Halloween and Christmas event bosses, a "Workshop" map, or a killer Builderman with its own HP and cooldowns. None of it appears on the Official Forsaken Wiki: there is no "The Developer" in the Exclusive list, no Workshop map, and Builderman and Guest 1337 are survivors. The lists on this page are the wiki's own. The 8 regular killers and 13 regular survivors are covered at Forsaken Killers and Forsaken Survivors.

Where This Information Comes From

Every fact on this page traces to a page on the Official Forsaken Wiki (forsaken.wiki), read on 15 October 2026. If you want to check it yourself or see what has changed since, these are the pages to open.

Wiki pages used

In the order this guide uses them:

•Characters: the Survivors, Killers, Exclusive and Non-playable sections, and the definition of exclusive characters quoted above.
•Gamepasses: the V.I.P description, price and the list of exclusive characters, skins and maps it unlocks in private servers.
•Individual character pages for Cat, BRIMSTONE, Doppelganger Shedletsky, Sixer Hunt, Sukuna, Erlking, Herobrine, Noob: The World, Martial Artist, SWAT Officer, The Poisoned and The Kid.
•Gamemodes: Standard, Randomizer, Extermination and Double Trouble.
•Update logs, Chapter 3: the 4.1.0 "April Fools" update that introduced Swapsaken.
•The Stalker and The Ringmaster infoboxes for the roadmap section. Character pages are edited often, so if a detail here no longer matches the wiki, the wiki is right.

Forsaken admin killers are the wiki's "Exclusive" characters: 13 killers and 6 survivors that the development team and contributors can play, which the wiki itself calls often gimmicky and unbalanced. Ten of those killers and all six survivors are open to anyone who owns the V.I.P gamepass, but only in private servers, where Player Points are not earned. Herobrine, Sancho and Erlking are not in the current V.I.P list. Nothing unlocks them in public servers, there are no codes, and several "secret killers" people talk about are really Swapsaken characters, survivors such as Builderman and Guest 1337, or non-playable characters like The Spectre and 2x2. For new content, watch The Stalker and the Double Trouble gamemode on the wiki's roadmap.

• The wiki lists 13 exclusive killers and 6 exclusive survivors, playable by the development team and contributors.
• V.I.P (599 Robux) unlocks 10 of those killers and all 6 survivors, in private servers only.
• Herobrine, Sancho and Erlking are not in the Gamepasses page's V.I.P list; 5.0.0 removed Sancho and Erlking from it.
• Builderman and Guest 1337 are survivors, not admin killers.
• Four exclusive characters come from Swapsaken, the side game added in the 4.1.0 April Fools update.
• There are no codes or hidden achievements that unlock exclusive characters.
• The Stalker is the next planned killer; Double Trouble (two killers) is an upcoming gamemode.

Check the 8 regular killers at Forsaken Killers, and if you are weighing V.I.P for a specific admin killer, confirm that character is still on the wiki's Gamepasses list first.
