Forsaken Roblox GuideAll Killers, Maps, Tier Lists & Strategy. Updated Every Patch

A note from the editor

Most Roblox guide sites are built once, populated with a hundred templated guides written by people who never opened the game, and abandoned the moment the next patch breaks their advice. I started Forsaken Hub because I got tired of that. Every page on this site is written or edited by someone who has actually queued for the character it covers, and most of them are updated within a week of any balance patch shipping. If a number on a page is wrong, the email at the bottom of the contact page still works, and I read every message.

The May 2026 state of Forsaken is, honestly, the most interesting it has been since launch. The Nosferatu addition reshuffled the killer-pick rate in a way nobody predicted, the Guest 1337 rework finally let the most popular survivor in the roster compete in red ranks, and the 4.1.0 patch reduced the absolute dominance of three-gen pressure tactics that defined the first quarter of the year. If you came back to Forsaken after a break, this is the patch that rewards relearning the roster from scratch.

What to read first

New players coming to Forsaken for the first time should start with the complete beginner guide, which covers the lobby UI, the queue mechanics, and the first ten matches of expected experience without assuming you know anything about asymmetric horror games. From there, the killers and survivors pillar pages are the natural next stops, and the monthly tier list tells you which characters are currently worth your unlock budget.

Returning players should jump straight to the tier list and the most recent patch reaction post on the blog to figure out what changed. The character pages get monthly refreshes, so the advice for your main may be different from the last time you read it.

Code hunters: every monthly codes refresh sits on the blog (search for “codes” in the title). Codes typically retire within one to four weeks of dropping, so cross-check the date on any code list before pasting anything into the redemption box.

Glossary: terms you'll see across the site

Forsaken inherits a lot of vocabulary from Dead by Daylight and the broader asymmetric horror genre, and the community has invented some terms of its own. Quick reference for the ones that come up most often on this site:

• Loop , a chase pattern around an obstacle (a tree, pallet, building corner) where the survivor maintains line of sight or barely breaks it, forcing the killer to commit to a clockwise or counter-clockwise pursuit. “Looping” is the dominant survivor skill: a survivor who can loop three different obstacles in succession can hold a chase for forty seconds, which is enough time for the rest of the team to finish two generators.
• Gen rush , strategy where survivors ignore objectives like totems and rescues to repair generators as fast as possible, betting that escape will come before any one survivor dies. The Guest 1337 + Builderman generator-speed combination is the most common gen-rush composition in the May 2026 meta.
• Tunneling , when the killer focuses one survivor repeatedly, killing them off the first hook before targeting anyone else. Considered poor sportsmanship in most lobbies, but mechanically optimal against bad teams.
• Camping , when the killer waits next to a hooked survivor instead of patrolling, preventing rescues. Forsaken has soft anti-camp mechanics (hook stages tick slower when the killer is within thirty studs), but the strategy still wins matches against uncoordinated survivors.
• Three-gen , situation where the three remaining generators are close enough that the killer can patrol all of them within twenty seconds, preventing any from being repaired without interruption. Hospital and Prison are the maps where three-gen scenarios are hardest to break. The 4.1.0 patch nerfed three-gen consistency by raising the minimum spawn distance between generators.
• SWF (Survive With Friends) , a four-stack of survivors queueing together with voice coordination. SWF win rates run 15–20% higher than the same survivors in solo queue, which is why tier lists separate “solo queue” and “SWF” rankings.
• Bloodlust , a killer-side mechanic that boosts movement speed if the killer maintains chase on the same survivor for more than fifteen seconds without losing line of sight. Forsaken's implementation is faster than the DbD equivalent, which is why long chases favor the killer here more than in DbD.
• Bodyblock , survivor maneuver where you place yourself between the killer and a freshly unhooked teammate, eating a hit that would otherwise re-down the rescued survivor. Noob and Builderman are the best bodyblock survivors because their HP totals let them absorb hits that would down a lighter character.
• Stud — Roblox's standard unit of distance. One stud is roughly 28 cm, so a 16-stud-per-second base speed is about 4.5 m/s. Most Forsaken stats on this site are reported in studs because that's how the game reports them internally.
• Meta — the currently-dominant set of strategies, characters, and perks at the highest competitive level. Meta on this site is dated to a specific month and patch version, because untimely tier lists are how you lose matches.

How this site is funded

Plain answer: it isn't yet, but it's designed to be. Forsaken Hub doesn't take sponsored content, doesn't accept paid tier-list placements, and doesn't smuggle affiliate links into guide text. The only planned monetization is display advertising once Google AdSense approves the site, and you'll be able to tell when that happens because banner ads will appear (and the merch teaser at the top of the page will probably stay where it is). If you see anything on this site that looks like a sponsored placement and isn't labeled as one, that's a bug , report it.
