Act Dead or OOF Scythe
The Scythe is the Hunter's signature tool in Act Dead or OOF — a one-time R$139 gamepass whose official description reads “Scythe! -5% Speed Boost when Equipped!”. This page covers what that actually means, who it is for, and how it stacks up against the other passes. Comparing every purchase at once? Start with the gamepass tier list.
What the Scythe does
Act Dead or OOF is a 1-vs-all round: one Hunter walks a room full of players frozen as mannequins, trying to spot the ones that twitch. The Scythe gamepass arms the Hunter with a scythe — the core power-fantasy item for the aggressive side of the game. Note the listing's own caveat: it carries a -5% speed modifier while equipped, so it is a style-and-pressure buy rather than a pure buff.
- Role: Hunter only. It has no effect on rounds where you are hiding as a mannequin.
- Playstyle fit: aggressive players who enjoy chasing and pressuring survivors.
- Type: a tool/identity purchase — not a currency multiplier (that is x2 Yen) and not map influence (that is x2 Vote).
Note: this is an unofficial fan guide. The -5% speed figure is quoted from the official Roblox gamepass description. We deliberately do not publish damage, cooldown, or range numbers — 79studios does not document them publicly and we will not fabricate stats.

Scythe questions
What does the Scythe gamepass do in Act Dead or OOF?
The official Roblox listing describes it in one line: "Scythe! -5% Speed Boost when Equipped!". It gives you the game's signature scythe tool, with a small movement trade-off while the weapon is out. It is the power-fantasy purchase for players who enjoy the Hunter role, and it does not change the rules for survivors.
How much does the Scythe cost?
The Scythe gamepass is listed at R$139 on the official Roblox store page for Act Dead or OOF. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Is the Scythe worth buying?
If you mainly play Hunter or want the aggressive playstyle, it is the most on-theme purchase in the game and our editorial tier list rates it highly. If you mostly hide and survive as a mannequin, it does nothing for you in those rounds — spend elsewhere or not at all.
Does the Scythe guarantee wins as the Hunter?
No — and the listed -5% speed while equipped means it is not even a straight upgrade. Spotting which "mannequin" just moved still comes down to observation, patience, and game sense. The Scythe changes how hunting feels, not whether your reads are right.
