Noob in Forsaken: Survival Guide, Item Timing & Cooldown Management (2026)
Noob guide for Forsaken: when to use Bloxy Cola, Slateskin, and Ghostburger so you stop wasting cooldowns and start escaping consistently.
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 the Official Forsaken Wiki's; verify in-game tooltips for the current patch.
| Item | Cooldown | Best Use | Bad Use (Common Mistake) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloxy Cola | 50s | Use 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). |
| Slateskin | 55s | Use 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). |
| Ghostburger | 45s | Use 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 elimination, 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.

Noob as a Survivalist
Noob is a Survivalist and one of the three starter Survivors you get for free, alongside Shedletsky and Elliot. The class label is not decoration: it describes what the kit is meant to accomplish. Slateskin, Bloxy Cola and Ghost Burger are all about getting Noob personally out of trouble rather than about protecting anyone else, which makes Noob the natural pick when you expect to be found and the wrong pick when your team needs someone to trade a hit for them. The character is based on the default Roblox avatar from 2006 to 2007.
Escaping the killer is only worth something if the time you buy turns into generator layers. Each layer removes three seconds and a full generator removes twelve, with all five worth a minute off a four-minute round. A Noob who survives brilliantly in a corner has not advanced the win condition; a Noob who survives and then immediately returns to a puzzle has.
The three free survivors cover three different classes. Noob is the Survivalist, Shedletsky is a Sentinel whose Slash stuns the killer outright, and Elliot is a Support built to heal and assist. Learning all three before spending Player Points on a fourth is the cheapest way to work out which role you actually enjoy.
Noob against each killer archetype
Self-preservation kits perform differently depending on what is hunting you. Against c00lkidd, whose Walkspeed Override and Pizza Delivery exist to limit your options, Noob wants to avoid committing to enclosed spaces where those tools do the most work. Against Slasher and his Raging Pace ambushes, the danger is route repetition rather than enclosure. Against Noli Void Rush and Nova, raw distance is unreliable and breaking line of sight matters more.
Player Points come only from public matchmaking, and they come from contribution rather than survival time — a generator puzzle layer pays 5 Player Points and 15 EXP, and a generator is four layers deep. Private servers award nothing at all, which makes them a place to rehearse rather than a place to grind. At 500 Player Points, 007n7 is the other Survivalist and plays the same self-sufficient game through Clone, c00lgui and Inject.
Noob in context
Understanding where a Survivalist sits requires the surrounding systems.
A round is four minutes long. Survivors win by outlasting it and killers extend it by eliminating people, so the only lever survivors control is the generators. On most maps there are five, each a Numberlink wire puzzle four layers deep. A completed layer removes three seconds from the clock and pays 5 Player Points and 15 EXP; a finished generator removes twelve seconds; clearing all five removes a full minute. The puzzle regenerates if you are interrupted, so unbanked layers are lost entirely rather than paused. The one map without generators is SFOTH, a private-server-only map with no objectives at all, so in public matchmaking every map has generators to work; Generator Hell, also private-server-only, uses an older square-flipping generator design.
The roster is fixed-ability rather than build-based. Survivors come in three classes: Survivalists Noob (free) and 007n7 (500 Player Points) look after themselves; Sentinels Shedletsky (free), Two Time and Guest 1337 (500 each) and Chance (777) interfere with the killer directly; and Elliot (free) is the only Support. Killers are c00lkidd and Slasher (both free), John Doe (1,000) and Noli (1,100). With no perks and no loadouts, picking a character is picking your role for the round, and nothing unlocked later changes how an existing character plays.
Items are deliberately scarce: only two kinds exist in public rounds — the Medkit, which restores 80 HP over a 7-second use, and the Bloxy Cola, which grants Speed II for 10 seconds after a 4-second drink — and both appear at marked spawn spots chosen at random each round. The other eleven items the wiki documents (Flashlight, Bloxiade, Epicsauce, Green Key, Glock, Broadsword, Assault Rifle, Gravity Gun, Fake Medkit, Fake Bloxy Cola and a test cola) exist only through the private-server command panel. You cannot build a strategy around holding a specific item, and there is no loadout system that would let you try.
