Master town raids in Dead Rails with this guide. Loot banks, survive hordes, and protect your train. Don’t raid blind, plan smart.
Fire, groaning zombies, choking smoke. A Dead Rails town is a horror show at first glance, yet it hides the gear that turns a shaky run into a victory lap. This guide ignores the panic and focuses on clear, repeatable steps that push you from startled passenger to efficient looter.
You’ll spot the right buildings, break the vault, skip the filler loot, and retreat with your head still attached. Read with intent, keep ammo handy, and let the tips below shorten the learning curve.
Raiding Towns in Dead Rails Roblox
Towns in Dead Rails aren’t friendly stops; they’re high-risk, high-reward zones packed with zombies and valuable loot. But with the right approach, you can walk in, grab what you need, and get out without getting swarmed. Here’s exactly how to do it.
Spotting and Approaching a Town
Towns appear frequently along your journey, usually popping up between fort stops. You’ll know you’re close when you see a cluster of buildings and a nearby railway platform. As the train slows, a large horde of zombies often rushes toward it. Don’t panic. That’s normal.
Don’t park your train right at the town—that’s asking to get overrun. Instead, keep your train a bit farther out. If you’ve got a horse, use it to ride into town while the train stays secure. This gives you flexibility and protects your fallback option.
Prioritize These Two Key Buildings
Not all buildings in a town are worth your time. Focus on the ones that consistently offer valuable loot:
| Building | How to Identify | Loot | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank | Pink-red exterior | Gold, Silver, Bonds | Kill the top-hat zombie nearby to get the vault code. Enter, loot fast, and leave. |
| Church | Tall white structure | Holy Water (throwable), Crucifixes (1-hit kill) | Easy to loot quickly. These items are lifesavers during dense fights. |
Don’t waste time clearing every building. These two are the core of any worthwhile town raid.
Town Raiding: Step-by-Step Strategy
To maximize your chances of surviving and looting a town efficiently, follow this sequence:
- Secure Your Exit First
Don’t let your train sit unattended. Zombies can and will overrun it. If you don’t have backup, keep your distance or move in quickly and return just as fast. - Enter From the Edges
Avoid rushing straight into the heart of the town. That’s where zombies are thickest. Circle in from the outside, targeting the building you’re after. This minimizes aggro and lets you control engagement zones. - Clear a Path, Not the Town
Your goal isn’t to wipe out every zombie. Just take out enough to safely reach the building and loot it. Prioritize clean kill zones over full clears. - Grab, Don’t Hoard
Most towns have more loot than you can carry. Grab high-value items first, like bank bonds and crucifixes. Don’t get stuck trying to drag everything back. - Use the Right Weapon
The rifle is your best friend in towns. It can one-shot zombies, making it great for surgical strikes. Just make sure you have plenty of ammo. Running out mid-raid is a guaranteed mess.
Towns are never easy, but they don’t have to be deadly if you play it smart. Go in with a plan, take what matters, and get out fast.
