Forsaken SurvivorsThe Full 2026 Roster — Roles, Stats & Guides

Survivors win Forsaken rounds three ways: finishing objectives while the killer is busy, surviving chases long enough for teammates to finish objectives, and keeping each other alive through heals, stuns, and rescues. Every survivor on the roster leans toward one of those jobs, and the game labels it for you: Elliot is the Support, Shedletsky, Two Time, Chance and Guest 1337 are Sentinels, and Noob and 007n7 are Survivalists. Escaping consistently starts with picking the job that matches how you actually play.

This page is the survivor hub: the verified roster (checked against the Official Forsaken Wiki), each character's role in one line, and the full library of survivor guides — per-character strategy, the speed chart, perk builds, and the counter-pick table that tells you who to lock in against tonight's killer.

How survivor classes actually differ

Forsaken sorts survivors into three classes, and the label tells you what the kit is built to accomplish rather than how strong it is. Survivalists — Noob and 007n7 — carry tools for getting themselves out of trouble: Noob runs Slateskin, Bloxy Cola and Ghost Burger, while 007n7 uses Clone, c00lgui and Inject to break a chase through misdirection. Sentinels — Shedletsky, Two Time, Chance and Guest 1337 — interfere with the killer directly. Shedletsky's Slash stuns outright, Two Time's Sacrificial Dagger stuns on a backstab and returns health, Guest 1337's Charge knocks the killer back and grants Resistance V for 0.75 seconds on collision, and Chance gambles on Coin Flip for an outcome that can help him or interrupt the killer. Support is Elliot alone, healing and assisting through Pizza Throw and Rush Hour.

None of these are loadouts. Forsaken has no perk system, no equippable kit and no way to change a character's abilities, so choosing a survivor is choosing your role for the round. That is the single biggest difference from the games this genre borrows from, and it is why advice written for those games — pallet drops, perk builds, exit-gate plays — describes systems that do not exist here.

Why the four-minute clock decides everything

A round lasts four minutes. Survivors win by outlasting it, and the killer extends it by eliminating people. The lever survivors control is the generator puzzles: each completed layer removes three seconds, a finished generator removes twelve, and clearing all five removes a full minute. Since a generator is four layers deep and the minigame regenerates if you are interrupted, the difference between a good survivor and a passenger is usually how much banked progress they leave behind when a chase starts.

Two maps break this entirely. SFOTH and Generator Hell have no generators at all, so there is nothing to bank and nothing to defend — those rounds are pure survival against the clock. And once you are the last survivor alive, Last Man Standing sets the timer to 1 minute 14 seconds and highlights both you and the killer to each other for six seconds, which retires every plan that depended on not being seen.

Character unlocks are paid for in Player Points, earned only in public matchmaking — a generator puzzle layer pays 5 Player Points and 15 EXP. Private servers award nothing, so they are for learning map geometry, not for grinding. EXP is tracked per character and unlocks that character's milestone Skin at level 25, continuing to a cap at level 100.

Items, and why you cannot plan around them

Only two items spawn in a public round. The pool includes the Medkit, Bloxy Cola, Flashlight, Bloxiade, Epicsauce and the Green Key, alongside weapons such as the Glock, Broadsword, Assault Rifle and Gravity Gun — and, importantly, the Fake Medkit and Fake Bloxy Cola, which do not behave like the genuine articles. Because there is no loadout system and no way to bring an item in with you, item strategy is opportunistic by design. Any guide describing a survivor "build" is describing something the game does not have.

How progression actually works

Two separate tracks run side by side, and conflating them is the most common source of confusion. Player Points are the shop currency: they unlock Characters and Skins, and they accumulate across everything you play. EXP is tracked per character — it unlocks a milestone Skin for that character at level 25, continues rewarding skins for another three levels, and caps at level 100. Grinding a character you already own therefore builds skins but brings you no closer to unlocking a new one.

Both come from public matchmaking only. Private servers award nothing, which makes them excellent for walking a map, counting the exits from a juke spot, or learning how a generator puzzle presents itself under no pressure — and useless as a way to grind. A generator puzzle layer pays 5 Player Points and 15 EXP, so contribution is what the game measures, not time survived.

Choosing a survivor for how you actually play

If you are usually the person being chased, a Survivalist suits you: Noob is free and runs Slateskin, Bloxy Cola and Ghost Burger, while 007n7 at 500 Player Points escapes through Clone, c00lgui and Inject. If you would rather fight back on your team's behalf, the Sentinels do that — Shedletsky is free and stuns outright with Slash, Two Time stuns on a backstab and regains health, Guest 1337 knocks the killer back with Charge, and Chance gambles on Coin Flip. If you enjoy keeping other people alive, Elliot is the only Support and is free to try. Three of the four are free, so there is no need to spend Player Points before you know which role you enjoy.
