How to Get Treachstone John Doe in Forsaken (5.0.0 Skin Guide)

How to get Treachstone John Doe: earn the CHAPTER III - SYSTEM DELETED badge in The Battle Bricks by beating Chapter 3, Machine Scream, on Tumore Mode. The skin then unlocks in Forsaken. If you are asking how to get Treachstone John Doe, the confusing part is that the answer is not in Forsaken at all. Treachstone is one of three John Doe skins added in the 5.0.0 update, alongside John Flow and John Dog, and unlike most skins it is not bought with Player Points and not earned through John Doe's EXP milestones. It is a collaboration reward. You unlock it by completing a specific challenge in a separate Roblox game, The Battle Bricks, which grants a Roblox badge; owning that badge is what makes the skin appear in your Forsaken inventory. This guide walks through exactly what the badge requires, what "Tumore Mode" and "Machine Scream" refer to, the mistakes that send people looking in the wrong place, and what the skin is worth once you have it.

What Treachstone actually is

Treachstone is a skin for John Doe, the 1,000 Player Point control killer whose kit is built around Corrupt Energy and Digital Footprint. A skin changes how John Doe looks and, on some skins, adds custom sounds or animations; it does not change his abilities, his speed or his health. The Official Forsaken Wiki's update history lists it under version 5.0.0 with the line "Added John Flow, John Dog and Treachstone skins," which is the only in-game patch reference to it. The 5.0.0 update also changed John Doe's inventory icon, which is why older screenshots of the shop look different from what you will see now.

The exact unlock requirement, step by step

Everything below comes from the Achievements table on the Official Forsaken Wiki, which records the badge, the condition and the reward. There is one condition and it has three parts: the right game, the right chapter, and the right difficulty mode.

Do not confuse it with the Home Turf badge

The same wiki table lists a second collaboration badge that people regularly mix up with this one. Home Turf, from Retro Tower Defense, is earned by winning three games of Classic Mode on any Forsaken map in that game, at any difficulty with modifiers allowed. It rewards the Retro Defense Jane Doe skin, not Treachstone. Both are Forsaken crossover badges earned in other games, both were added in the same collaboration wave, and both are described on the same wiki page, which is why guides and comment threads sometimes swap the requirements. If a source tells you to win three Classic Mode games to get Treachstone, it has the two rows crossed. Treachstone is CHAPTER III - SYSTEM DELETED in The Battle Bricks; Home Turf gives you a Jane Doe skin.

Is it worth the detour?

Skins in Forsaken are cosmetic. Treachstone John Doe has the same 1,000 Player Point base character underneath, the same Corrupt Energy and Digital Footprint kit, and the same role as a control killer who divides survivors and interrupts generator puzzles rather than chasing them down. So the question is only whether you want the look and the badge. Two things make it more appealing than a shop skin: it cannot be bought, so it signals that you actually completed the collaboration, and it is tied to a numbered chapter badge that will stay on your Roblox profile whether or not you keep playing Forsaken. If you already enjoy The Battle Bricks, it is close to free. If you do not, it is a one-off challenge on Tumore Mode for a skin you will see every time you queue as John Doe. Our full John Doe breakdown at /blog/forsaken-john-doe-killer-guide covers how to actually play the character once you have him dressed up, and the wider roster lives on the /forsaken-killers hub.

Final Thoughts

Treachstone John Doe is a 5.0.0 collaboration skin, not a shop item and not an EXP milestone. You get it by earning the CHAPTER III - SYSTEM DELETED badge in The Battle Bricks, which means beating Chapter 3, Machine Scream, on Tumore Mode. Rejoin Forsaken afterwards and the skin is yours. Do not mistake it for Home Turf, the three-win Retro Tower Defense badge that awards Retro Defense Jane Doe instead. Everything else about John Doe — cost, abilities, playstyle — is unchanged by the skin.

• • Badge: CHAPTER III - SYSTEM DELETED, earned in The Battle Bricks (roblox.com/games/10834586502)
• • Condition: beat Chapter 3 "Machine Scream" on Tumore Mode — standard difficulty does not count
• • Added in Forsaken 5.0.0 alongside the John Flow and John Dog skins
• • Not purchasable with Player Points; not an EXP milestone; no codes exist in Forsaken
• • Home Turf (three Classic Mode wins in Retro Tower Defense) is a different badge — it gives Retro Defense Jane Doe

Troubleshooting: the badge did not fire, or the skin is not showing

Because the unlock happens in one game and the reward appears in another, there are more places for the chain to break than with a normal shop purchase. Work through these in order; the first three account for nearly every failed attempt.

The killer you are dressing up

It helps to know what Treachstone sits on. John Doe is Forsaken's control killer: his kit is Corrupt Energy and Digital Footprint, and its purpose is to trap and divide survivors, cut them off from each other and from the generator they were partway through, and set up an ambush on whoever is left isolated. He costs 1,000 Player Points in the shop, which are earned only in public matchmaking — a generator puzzle layer pays 5 Player Points and 15 EXP, and private servers award nothing. In the game's lore he was a Roblox HQ worker before being corrupted, which is why he is tied thematically to the Roblox HQ map.
