What is the best gamepass in the title?
The Scythe is the highest-tier gamepass because it powers the Hunter role directly, but Permanent and Yen offer better long-term progression value for survivors. The right pick depends on whether you prefer hunting or surviving.
Are these tiers official?
No. The S–C tiers on this page are an editorial assessment by the guide's writers, based on each pass's utility, price, and how often it changes outcomes. They are clearly labelled as opinion, not developer rankings.
Why are the Trident and Sea Knife rated C?
Because 79studios has not published what either tool does in a round. Both went on sale during the summer event — the Trident at R$499 on August 2, 2026 and the Sea Knife at R$259 the same day, after sitting at R$0 and off sale since July 30. We can verify their prices, listing dates and "Limited Time Tool for SUMMER EVENT" descriptions, but not their effect, so we rate them unproven instead of inventing a benefit.
Should a new player buy Yen first?
For new survivors, the Yen gamepass is usually the most efficient first buy because it speeds up progression and unlocks without a long grind. Vote is the cheapest entry point if you just want to try a purchase.
