Best Shovels in the Game (S-Tier)

- Seraded Shovel: Best shovel you can get without spending Robux. Really good power and speed, and you can buy it near the Train for C$35,000.
- Speedy Shovel: Great for when you want to dig really fast. You can get it during the Aliens event, and it’s totally worth getting if you see it available.

Really Good Shovels (A-Tier)
These shovels are still really good choices:
- Core Shovel: Good at everything but not the best at anything. You can buy it at the Farm Barn for C$15,000.
- Primal Skull Shovel: Super strong but not very fast. Find it at the Northwest Shack for C$ 50,000.
- Strange Shovel: This one digs really deep but super slow. You get it by finishing the Strange Rock quest.
Middle-of-the-Pack Shovels (B-Tier)
These shovels are good for when you’re still working your way up:
- Steel Skull Shovel: This is Like a budget version of the Primal Skull. Costs C$ 15,000 and gets the job done.
- Glowing Green Shovel: It’s a pretty decent shovel that you can get for free by doing the farm quest.
- Obsidian Shovel: Best cheap option from the Shovels n’ Stuff shop. Only costs C$ 2,500.
Starter Shovels (C-Tier and D-Tier)
These are the basic shovels you’ll want to replace pretty quickly:
- Golden Shovel: It looks cool but is not worth the C$ 4,000 price tag.
- Steel Shovel: Super cheap at C$ 100, but pretty basic.
- Rusty Shovel: The free shovel you start with. Save up some money and upgrade this as soon as you can.
