Roblox: Dead Rails – All Enemies And How To Beat Them

Take to Roblox’s Dead Rails and survive the various enemies gunning for you.

Set in a vast desert landscape, Dead Rails challenges players to keep their train running while improving and upgrading it, all while gathering essential resources that can be sold for weapons, upgrades, and healing items. One of the most valuable currencies in the game is Bonds, which are essential for unlocking new gear, making key purchases, and ensuring long-term survival.

What Are Bonds?

In Dead Rails, Bonds serve as the primary in-game currency, acting as a key resource for both survival and progression. They are essential for purchasing various items in the game’s lobby, including weapons, ammunition, and upgrades.

Bonds have a distinct old-fashioned design, featuring sepia and crimson tones, making them stand out visually. Unlike standard in-game money, bonds are considered the game’s hard currency, meaning they are rarer and more valuable. Players can earn them throughout their runs or purchase them directly using Robux.

What Are Bonds Used For?

Bonds can be used to purchase various essential items in the game’s lobby, allowing players to acquire weapons, ammunition, armor, supplies, and even different character classes.

Items You Can Buy In The Lobby With Bonds

Different Ways To Get Bonds

In Dead Rails, there are multiple ways and strategies to earn Bonds. However, it’s important to remember that this is not an easy game. Taking advantage of every opportunity is crucial for survival.

Play as a team: Towns and the castle are extremely dangerous locations. Having a coordinated team makes looting these enemy-filled areas faster and more effective, reducing risks and increasing rewards.
Take advantage of nighttime events: While nighttime increases the game’s difficulty, it also presents key opportunities. Selling enemy corpses and collecting fuel is vital to reaching key locations where bonds can be found.

At The Town Bank

As you progress through your journey in Dead Rails, you’ll encounter various key locations, ranging from abandoned houses and churches to trading posts, stores, and even entire towns overrun by zombies.

Towns are some of the most dangerous locations, often posing a significant challenge for solo players or even groups in the early stages of a run. They are densely populated with zombies, making them difficult and time-consuming to raid. Additionally, if the exploration takes too long, nightfall can arrive, introducing even greater dangers through nighttime events and enemy reinforcements.

If you have a well-equipped team with sufficient weapons, bandages, and supplies, raiding towns can be a viable way to acquire Bonds.

Each town contains multiple structures, one of the most important being the town bank. You will find a bank in different towns throughout the desert. However, accessing its vault requires a security code, which can only be obtained by defeating a special zombie dressed as a banker. Once killed, the code will drop on the ground, allowing you to unlock the vault and collect the Bonds stored inside.

At The Castle

At 40,000m, you will come across a large castle structure, a location filled with valuable resources, weapons, and enemies. Raiding the castle can be extremely rewarding, but it is also one of the most dangerous challenges in the game. Without the proper weapons and healing supplies, you may struggle to survive against the bandits that frequently spawn inside.

Inside the castle’s second floor, you can find between five and 20 Bonds, along with a variety of weapons such as rifles, shotguns, and revolvers, each stocked with ammunition. Securing the castle can significantly boost your resources, making it a worthwhile location to explore if you’re well-prepared.

General Exploration

While traversing the vast desert in Dead Rails, there is a small chance of finding Bonds scattered in random structures throughout the map. However, this probability is extremely low, making it an unreliable method for farming bonds.

Despite this, thoroughly looting different areas during your journey may occasionally reward you with Bonds, especially if you remain vigilant and explore structures that other players might overlook. Still, this should not be your primary strategy, as other methods like raiding towns, banks, and castles offer far more consistent payouts.

At The End Of The Game

When you reach the end of the train tracks, you will arrive at the Bandit Hideout, the final stronghold in Dead Rails. This location offers a high probability of finding bonds, scattered across various structures within the fort.

However, this is the most challenging area in the game. The difficulty significantly increases, and you will have limited time to prepare before the final wave of enemy attacks.

To maximize your chances of survival and collect as many bonds as possible before the timer runs out, it is highly recommended to bring multiple bottles of Snake Oil. This will boost your movement speed, allowing you to search the area more efficiently and survive before the bridge countdown reaches zero.

In-Game Challenges

With the latest update to Dead Rails, a brand-new challenge system has been introduced, allowing players to earn Bonds more easily and consistently across multiple runs.

You can find the Challenges Board in the lobby, located next to the Daily News Post. This bulletin board contains a variety of missions and tasks that youcan complete to gain extra Bonds, offering a more structured way to progress in the game.

Tame a Unicorn	Put a saddle on a wild unicorn or find one already tamed.	5 Bonds	1 Star
Escape the Game	Travel 80Km and successfully lower the bridge.	5 Bonds	1 Star
Bounty Hunter	Kill 5 outlaws and turn in their bounties at a sheriff’s office.	5 Bonds	1 Star

Pacifist	Complete the game without any player killing an enemy (safezone turrets don’t count).	30 Bonds	9 Starts
Pony Express	Complete the game without any player using the train.	30 Bonds	9 Stars

Each challenge offers a different way to earn Bonds, encouraging players to explore new strategies and interact with different mechanics in Dead Rails. Whether you focus on combat, survival, or exploration, completing these challenges will reward you with a steady source of Bonds to use on future runs.

Check the Challenges Board regularly, as new challenges may be added over time, keeping the gameplay fresh and rewarding.

Purchasing Bonds With Robux

If you need bonds quickly, you have the option to purchase them using Robux. The price of bonds varies depending on the quantity you want to buy. Here are the current in-game prices:

5 Bonds – 49 Robux
10 Bonds – 79 Robux
20 Bonds – 129 Robux
50 Bonds – 199 Robux

This method is ideal for players who want instant access to Bonds without having to grind through the different methods available in the game. However, for those who prefer to earn them through gameplay, raiding towns, looting the castle, and reaching the Bandit Hideout remain the best ways to farm Bonds for free.
