Noob is Forsaken’s “fundamentals” survivor: you don’t win by outplaying— you win by making simple items and timings consistently correct. Noob is deceptively strong because the kit teaches good habits: when to take chase, when to reset, and how to manage cooldown-based items so you always have something for the next crisis. This guide is written for two audiences: new players who want a clean survival plan, and experienced players who want a reliable solo-queue pick that never feels useless.

Quick Stats: Noob (Community Listing)

  • Unlock Cost: Free (community listing)
  • Bloxy Cola Cooldown: 50s
  • Slateskin Cooldown: 55s
  • Ghostburger Cooldown: 45s
  • Strength: Predictable survivability windows
  • Weakness: Limited “team swing” compared to supports

Use this guide with the cooldown table below; Noob becomes strong when you stop wasting items “just because.”

Noob Cooldown Table (When To Use Each Item)

Noob is all about item timing. These cooldowns are community-tracked; verify in-game tooltips for the current patch.

ItemCooldownBest UseBad Use (Common Mistake)
Bloxy Cola50sUse to secure distance after breaking line-of-sight or to reach a safer tile during chase transitions.Popping it in the open with the killer already on top of you (no time gained).
Slateskin55sUse when you expect contact soon (rescue attempts, objective pressure), so you can tank one interaction and rotate.Using it while the killer is across the map (wasted window).
Ghostburger45sUse to stabilize after a trade or to reset so you can return to objectives immediately.Using it in unsafe zones where the killer can re-engage and chain-down.

If you want one rule: spend items to create time and distance, not to “feel safe.”

How To Play Noob (A Simple Survival Loop)

Noob is strong because the plan is simple: avoid panic, take clean lines, and rotate your items so you always have an answer.

1) Early Game: Gather Information, Don’t Force Hero Plays

Early Noob wins by not feeding pressure.

  • Stay productive on objectives while you learn which killer it is and what their pressure pattern looks like.
  • Save your first item use for a real moment (first chase transition, first rescue attempt), not for “just in case.”
  • If you are first chase, kite away from objectives so your teammates get free progress.
  • If you are not chased, don’t hover—progress something, then be ready to reset a teammate after the first hit.
  • A Noob who stays calm is harder to kill than a “fancy” survivor who panics.

2) Midgame: Use Items to Convert Mistakes Into Resets

Midgame is where solo queue collapses. Noob’s job is to prevent the collapse.

  • If you take a hit, use the right item to create distance, then immediately rotate to a safe heal zone.
  • If a teammate is downed, your items are often better spent creating a safe rescue than “tanking” in the open.
  • Treat your cooldowns like a rotation: if one is down, play slightly safer until it returns.
  • Don’t chain-stack items—use one, get value, reset, then keep one tool for the next crisis.
  • Your biggest value is showing up to the next problem with something available.

3) Endgame: Have One Item for the Gate

Noob becomes much stronger if you plan for endgame.

  • Once gates are close, stop spending items for minor value—save one for the gate run or a final trade.
  • If the killer camps a hook, your job is to avoid chain deaths: coordinate one trade max.
  • Use your speed/durability windows to cross open space safely when survivors usually die.
  • If you can safely leave, leave—Noob is not a “rescue or die” character.
  • A clean 3-escape is worth more than a 50/50 hero save.

Noob Mistake That Makes You Feel Useless

If you burn items as soon as they’re available, you will always be empty during the real crisis. Noob is about planning: spend items on chase transitions, rescues, and endgame runs—those are the moments that convert into wins.

Final Thoughts

Noob is strong because you can be consistent. Rotate your cooldown items with intent, stay productive, and plan one tool for endgame. When other solo queue survivors collapse, Noob often escapes simply by doing the fundamentals better.

  • Save items for chase transitions and rescues, not panic.
  • Treat cooldowns like a rotation so you’re never empty.
  • Stabilize midgame and avoid chain downs.
  • Plan one item for the gate run.
