Every class in Zombie Rush Survival, what it costs in Credits, and the three deployables each one brings to a run.

Zombie Rush Survival is a wave survival shooter on Roblox where you clear zombie waves alone or with a team, spending money mid-run to strengthen your firepower and defenses. Classes decide which turrets, barricades, and traps you can deploy, and you unlock them by spending Credits at the Classes shop.

Quick answer: There are six classes. Rookie is free and unlocks by default. The rest cost Credits, from 50,000 for Medic up to 400,000 for Demolitionist. Each class comes with three deployables tied to a single role.

Class costs in Zombie Rush Survival

You unlock every class except Rookie by paying its Credit price in the Classes shop. Rookie is the starter kit and needs nothing to use. Here is the full price ladder.

Rookie: Free starter class

Rookie is the default kit you start with. It leans on dependable defense, blocking, and a simple explosive, which makes it a safe pick while you build up Credits for the paid classes.

  • Auto Turret — a compact sentry that fires rapidly at nearby zombies.
  • Barricade — a sturdy barrier that blocks zombies and buys the team time.
  • Explosive Barrel — a fragile barrel that detonates into a wide blast when destroyed.

Medic: Support and healing (50,000 Credits)

Medic is a support class built around keeping teammates alive and pushing pressure back. Its deployables heal, buff, and repair, so it earns its cost most in cooperative runs.

  • Pulse Turret — a burst sentry that knocks zombies back with pulsed shots.
  • Buff Barricade — a support barricade that boosts nearby players’ damage and movement speed.
  • Healing Station — a temporary station that restores nearby players and repairs regular deployables over time.

Recon: Sniping and target marking (100,000 Credits)

Recon focuses on long-range damage, marking enemies for extra harm, and hiding allies. It works best when you have a clean sightline down a lane.

  • Sniper Turret — a long-range sentry that fires slower, heavier shots through lined-up zombies.
  • Recon Tower — a scanning support tower that marks nearby zombies to take increased damage.
  • Ghost — a Recon ability that hides nearby players and deployables from zombies.

Trapper: Electricity, spikes, and frost (200,000 Credits)

Trapper punishes zombies that cross its ground, chaining shocks, slowing them on spike tiles, and freezing groups. It rewards planning your lane around fixed trap positions.

  • Tesla — a chain-lightning trap tower that shocks several zombies at once.
  • Spike Trap — a reusable footprint trap that spikes and slows zombies crossing its tile.
  • Frost Mine — a one-shot mine that freezes and knocks back nearby zombies.

Pyro: Fire damage at chokepoints (300,000 Credits)

Pyro burns clustered zombies and holds tight lanes. Its tools deal continuous fire damage, which makes it strong where enemies bunch up.

  • Flame Turret — a short-range sentry that burns clustered zombies in front of it.
  • Flame Barricade — a burning barricade that damages zombies when they hit it.
  • Molotov Barrel — a volatile barrel that detonates and leaves a short-lived burning area.

Demolitionist: Explosive crowd control (400,000 Credits)

Demolitionist is the most expensive class and controls crowds with mortars, lures, and blast walls. It pulls enemies together and hits them with area damage, which suits packed lanes.

  • Mortar Turret — a turret that lobs explosive shots into crowded lanes.
  • Exploding Barricade — a blocking barricade that blasts nearby zombies when destroyed.
  • Lure Bomb — a timed bomb that pulls zombies together before exploding.

How to unlock a class

Earn Credits during runs by clearing zombie waves. The higher and cleaner your run, the faster the currency adds up toward a class price.
Open the Classes shop and select the class you want. Confirm the purchase once you have enough Credits to cover its cost.
Equip the unlocked class before starting your next run. You will know it worked because its three deployables become available to place during the match.

You can play the mode directly on its Roblox game page.

Which class to buy first

Since Rookie is free, start with it and save Credits for the role your runs need most. Medic is the cheapest paid option and helps team survival, while Trapper, Pyro, and Demolitionist trade higher prices for stronger crowd control. Pick the class that fixes the part of your run that keeps failing, rather than buying the most expensive one first.
