Forsaken Survivors

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 shields. Every survivor on the roster leans toward one of those jobs, and the game labels it for you: Elliot, Builderman, Dusekkar and Taph are Supports; Shedletsky, Two Time, Chance, Guest 1337 and Jane Doe are Sentinels; and Noob, 007n7 and Veeronica 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 stats table, 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, 007n7 and Veeronica — carry tools for getting themselves out of trouble: Noob runs Slateskin Potion, Bloxy Cola and Ghostburger, 007n7 uses Clone, c00lgui and Inject to break a chase through misdirection, and Veeronica skates away on her own Graffiti with Sk8. Sentinels — Shedletsky, Two Time, Chance, Guest 1337 and Jane Doe — interfere with the killer directly. Shedletsky's Slash stuns for 3 seconds, Two Time's Sacrificial Dagger stuns on a backstab and fills the Oblation bar that buys a second life, Guest 1337's Charge knocks the killer back, Chance's One Shot can stun from up to 90 studs away, and Jane Doe's Hatchet stuns for longer the more Resonance her Crystal Pitch has stacked. Supports — Elliot, Builderman, Taph and Dusekkar — keep other people in the round: Elliot heals with Pizza Throw, Builderman builds Sentries and Dispensers, Taph lays Tripwires and Subspace Tripmines, and Dusekkar shields a teammate with Spawn Protection (Official Forsaken Wiki, character pages, read October 15, 2026).

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 Dead by Daylight — pallet drops, perk builds, exit-gate plays — describes systems that do not exist here.

Why the round clock decides everything

A round lasts four minutes with six or more players (3:30 with five, three minutes with four or fewer). Survivors win by outlasting it, and the killer adds 40 seconds with each kill. The lever survivors control is the generator puzzles: each completed puzzle removes 2.4 seconds, a finished generator removes twelve, and clearing all five removes a full minute (Official Forsaken Wiki, October 2026). Since 5.1.0 a generator is five 7x7 puzzles deep, and taking damage, walking away or holding sprint throws you out of the puzzle — re-entering generates fresh wires — so 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 — surviving to the end of a round pays 25. Private servers award nothing, so they are for learning map geometry, not for grinding. EXP is tracked per character and unlocks a milestone Skin every 25 levels, the last one at level 100.

Items, and why you cannot plan around them

Only two kinds of item 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. Both spawn at marked spots chosen at random each round. Everything else the wiki lists — Flashlight, Bloxiade, Epicsauce, Green Key, the weapons, the Fake Medkit and Fake Bloxy Cola — is a private-server command-panel item and never appears in matchmaking. 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 — level 1 needs 100 EXP and each level after that needs 10 more, a milestone Skin arrives every 25 levels up to Milestone IV at level 100, and EXP keeps accruing past that (Official Forsaken Wiki, Levels). 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. Each generator puzzle pays 8 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, the Supports do that, and Elliot is the only free one — Builderman costs 500 Player Points, Taph and Dusekkar 600 each. The three free starters, Noob, Shedletsky and Elliot, cover one class each, so there is no need to spend Player Points before you know which role you enjoy.

All twelve survivors at a glance

Every number in this table comes from the survivor's infobox on the Official Forsaken Wiki, read October 15, 2026. Speed is left out on purpose: all twelve walk at 12, run at 26 and have 100 stamina, so health, price and kit are what actually separate them.

What the numbers hide

Health alone misleads on three survivors. Jane Doe has the lowest pool at 60, but her Shatterpoint passive gives her a separate health type with 40% damage reduction that outside healing cannot restore — she refills it by landing her own abilities instead. Two Timedrops from 80 to a 50-health second life only if the Oblation bar is full; a front stab fills 20% of it and a backstab 40%. If Two Time becomes the last survivor alive before using that life, the Ritual triggers anyway and can raise maximum health to 110. Veeronica cannot use Medkits, Elliot's pizza or Builderman's Dispenser at all; she heals from her own battery, which starts each round 30% charged, gains 8% for every generator puzzle she completes, and can restore up to 50 HP at full charge.

The support numbers are worth knowing too. Elliot's pizza heals 5 HP instantly and 15 more over four seconds, and his Order Up! passive adds 2 HP of healing for every generator the team completes, up to +10. Builderman needs six uninterrupted seconds to build a Sentry or a Dispenser, and the Dispenser heals everyone within 16 studs at 1 HP per second. Taph can keep three Tripwires down at once; a killer who walks through one is revealed to every survivor for 8 seconds. Dusekkar's Spawn Protection shields one survivor for up to 3.5 seconds from 95 studs away, and fully cancels a hit that would have killed them.

On the Sentinel side, cooldowns decide how often you can afford to fight. Shedletsky's Slash recharges in 40 seconds, Two Time's Sacrificial Dagger in 30, Guest 1337's Block in 27 and his Punch in 55, Chance's One Shot in 45 and Jane Doe's Hatchet in 35. A Sentinel who spends a stun early and then has nothing for the next half-minute has to play like a Survivalist until it returns, which is why the best Sentinel plays usually protect a teammate on a generator rather than open a fight.
