X2 Coins weekend and this ranking
No class balance changes have been announced for the September 19–21 X2 Coins window, so the order below still stands on the day. What the weekend does change is the economy: a doubled Animal Coins payout makes the Robux-priced S-tier classes meaningfully cheaper to reach with earned coins, which is the practical reason to farm during the window rather than after it.
Event details →Best F2P class. Level 1 restores sanity on heal, Level 2 adds 8s speed boost, Level 3 doubles sanity gain + 10 bonus sanity.
Premium class that reduces trips between rooms. Level 2 adds +10 bonus sanity. Level 3 starts with all items.
Premium class buffed in Harlow's Update. Now starts with Scanner at Level 1 for instant anomaly detection. Gun + Scanner = self-sufficient. Level 3 turns kills into sanity and cash.
Cheapest class worth buying. Great value for the price — extra inventory helps every role.
Hazmat Update class. Level 1 starts with a self-recharging blue extinguisher that lasts longer than the standard one, plus +1 inventory. Level 2 recovers sanity when extinguishing fires. Level 3 grants fire immunity and +10 bonus sanity. Best class for the slime special shift and fire emergencies.
Reworked in Harlow's Update. Level 2 now grants a Deployable Camera. Strong in team play.
Good beginner pick before Surgeon. Level 2 gives +15 bonus sanity.
Expert-only class. Level 3 gives 15% chance to ignore sanity loss.
Budget sanity class. Good for learning sanity management.
How We Rank
Classes are ranked based on their performance across multiple criteria in both solo and co-op play. The most important factors are shift survival impact, sanity economy contribution, and overall team value.
- Survival Value: How much the class helps you and your team survive longer shifts.
- Sanity Economy: How well the class manages, recovers, or mitigates sanity loss.
- Team Utility: The value the class brings to a group, including healing, combat, and support.
- Cost Efficiency: The return on investment relative to the unlock cost in Animal Coins or Robux.

SomeSteven
Video notes taken from the auto-captions: the creator ranks the classes from worst to best and opens with Intern, the default class, which starts with 10 bonus sanity over the other classes and gains more sanity as it levels (he cites a cap of 20). He counts 10 classes, while our own roster lists 11 after later updates, so this page keeps our verified roster rather than the video count.
