Raft 101 Survival Classes Hub

Classes are the progression backbone of Raft 101 Survival on Roblox. Unlike codes — which do not exist yet — classes unlock with Coins you earn by surviving, looting drifts, clearing islands, and boarding the ghost ship. The Experimental Games prices flagship picks at Scavenger 140 Coins and Scientist 1,500 Coins, plus mid-roster kits like Defender (~65), Pirate (~400), Arctic Warrior (~500), Ghost Pirate (~675), Captain (~800), Carpenter (~100), and Advanced Carpenter (~1050).

This Classes hub centralizes role guides, links to the Tier List, and spending advice for solo and co-op crews pushing Day 101.

Featured classes

Scavenger — economy king

Scavenger guide — buy first at 140 Coins. Faster loot, smoother Getting Started fireplace grind, better Coin Farming loops.

Defender — budget raft guard

Defender guide — ~65 Coins for early spikes and slower totem steals.

Arctic Warrior — exploration hybrid

Arctic Warrior guide — ~500 Coins for hunger reduction and Snowball Launcher progression.

Ghost Pirate — mid-game boarder

Ghost Pirate guide — ~675 Coins for toxic flintlock pressure on haunted ships before Scientist.

Scientist — combat king

Scientist deep dive — save 1,500 Coins for octopus combat and solo late game.

How class unlocks work

1. Earn Coins through gameplay (no working promo codes today)
2. Open the in-game class or shop menu
3. Purchase permanently for that Roblox account
4. Select class before or during sessions per game rules

Classes persist across sessions; they are not lost on death unless a patch explicitly says otherwise — check Updates if behavior changes.

Spending roadmap

Order	Class	Cost	Why
1	Scavenger	140	Economy compound interest
1-alt	Defender	~65	Totem/raft guard micro-spend
2	Carpenter (co-op builder)	~100	Optional early repairs
3	Pirate / Arctic Warrior / Ghost Pirate	~400 / ~500 / ~675	Mid-game bridge
4	Captain	~800	Co-op shot-calling
5	Advanced Carpenter	~1050	Fortress builds
6	Scientist	1,500	Combat ceiling

Classes versus game passes

Game passes use Robux; classes use Coins. Passes accelerate time; classes define kits. Buy Scavenger before cosmetic passes.

Co-op class composition

Ideal four-stack:

• One Scavenger looter
• One Scientist, Ghost Pirate, or Arctic Warrior fighter
• One Captain / Defender flex
• One Carpenter or Advanced Carpenter repair

Details in Co-op Tips. Avoid four identical classes unless meme running.

Staying current

Balance patches move classes between tiers overnight. Join Discord via Links and watch Events for buff announcements.

Pick a class like you pick raft tiles — deliberate, not decorative.

Class shop navigation tips

Open the shop during calm weather so UI lag from storms does not misclick purchases. Compare tooltips side-by-side: Scavenger lists gather perks, Ghost Pirate lists toxic weapons, Scientist lists combat gadgets. Screenshot prices after updates — undocumented price changes have happened in other Roblox survival titles.

Returning players

If you quit before Ghost Pirate or Captain shipped, your old Scavenger unlock still matters. Log in, verify class ownership in inventory, then read Coin Farming for current yields — numbers may differ from memory.

Creator and group alignment

Buying classes with Coins earned in the official Roblox experience supports legitimate progression. Avoid clone games with similar thumbnails; they may not share unlocks or day counts.
