Learn how to get and use the new Musician class in Dead Rails with this guide. Explore its strengths, weaknesses, and best use cases.

Want to heal your party or just jam out with a banjo in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? The Musician class in Dead Rails is exactly what it sounds like: a support role designed for players who want to keep their team alive. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Musician class, how to unlock it, and whether it’s worth using.
What Is the Musician Class in Dead Rails?

The Musician is a pure support class. It doesn’t come with weapons or healing items like the Doctor—just a banjo. That may sound like a joke, but the banjo lets you heal your teammates by playing music between stops.
This class shines in Hardcore co-op runs, especially when passive healing is disabled. It’s a niche role, but it fills that niche very well.
How To Unlock the Musician Class in Dead Rails Roblox
Unlocking Musician is easy:
- Go to the Tailor in the game lobby
- Scroll through the list of classes
- Purchase Musician for 15 Bonds
You can earn Bonds just by completing runs. One good run and a stop at the Town of Sterling should give you enough to buy it.
Is the Musician Class Worth It?
Yes, but only in group play.
Pros:
- Heals your entire team between stops
- Great for supporting Hardcore runs
- Cheap to unlock (only 15 Bonds)
- Synergizes well with Necromancer and other high-risk classes
Cons:
- Terrible for solo play (you start with just a banjo, no real weapon)
- Useless if your team doesn’t need healing
- Weak compared to other classes in normal runs
If you’re a solo player, skip it. But if you’re part of a team doing Hardcore or long co-op runs, Musician is a must-have support role. It may not deal damage, but it can keep your squad alive when healing is otherwise hard to come by.
The Musician is a situational class, not for everyone, but powerful in the right hands and the right group. If you enjoy support roles or want to help your team survive longer in tough runs, it’s worth the small Bond investment. Just don’t expect to fight zombies head-on with a banjo.
