Tier	Class
S	Assassin, Cyborg
A	Lumberjack, Lumberjack, Brawler, Blacksmith, Fisherman
B	Scavenger, Medic, Chef, Hunter, Supporter, Poison Master, Pyromaniac
C	Camper, Cook, Gambler, Farmer, Berserker, Fire Bandit, Big Game Hunter
F	Alien, Decorator

The best 99 Nights in the Forest classes right now are expensive picks like Assassin and Cyborg, closely followed by inexpensive options like the Lumberjack, Blacksmith, and Fisherman.

Ultimately, the best 99 Nights class depends on your playstyle and the composition of your team. The lower cost of characters with clear early game benefits, like the Lumberjack and Blacksmith, can massively speed up the clearing of objectives.

And while you only need one Blacksmith to reap the rewards, having multiple players pick the Lumberjack and Fisherman classes will speed up reaching higher Campfire levels, crafting necessary equipment and defenses, and keep food, bandages, and other essential items in constant supply.

The Medic and Hunter classes look good on paper. After all, they're always featured in the lobby as cheap ways to start the game with the powerful rifle or a couple of resoratives. But with the rifle's poor fire rate, paired with the dwindling need for early bandages after a couple of runs, the utility of these early classes soon begins to fade. At higher levels, stellar combat classes like the Assassin remove the need for most other class perks.
