All five documented survivor classes, including their real ability focus and the team job each one performs.

Customer — Survivalist

Survivalist

A self-sufficient class that heals itself and uses a speed buff to extend chases or reach a safer route.

Use the heal before you are one hit from going down; holding it too long removes the class's main safety advantage.

The movement effect also applies Slowness when it ends, so finish the rotation near cover instead of in open space.

Medic — Healer

Healer

Uses a Medkit to heal or Overheal teammates and has a separate self-heal for staying active.

Pre-heal the player most likely to take the next chase instead of waiting until the whole team is injured.

Do not stack beside the target while healing if the killer is close; choose cover and preserve a second escape angle.

Security Guard — Support

Information support

Combines a chargeable Taser with security-camera access that can ping and highlight the killer.

Use cameras before teammates commit to a generator cluster, then turn the ping into a route call.

Save the Taser for a rescue, objective finish, or guaranteed spacing gain rather than firing at maximum range without follow-up.

Fighter — Stunner

Stunner

Uses a fire axe to parry attacks and spend charges on a stun that can apply additional debuffs.

Fighter is strongest when protecting another survivor or interrupting a committed attack, not when hunting the killer for clips.

A missed parry can spend the team's best rescue tool, so learn each killer's attack timing before forcing close-range trades.

Technician — Support/Survivalist

Route control

Uses the V.A.N.N.I. mask to see special pass-through obstacles and deploys a Tesla field that slows and dazes the killer.

Scout escape options with the mask before the chase reaches you so the alternate route is already planned.

Place the Tesla field where the killer must cross it to contest a rescue or objective, not in an area they can simply walk around.
