Abilities and items of the Packmaster, explained

The Packmaster can tame hostile wolves (Image via Roblox)

In Roblox Dead Rails, a player with the Packmaster Class spawns with three tamed wolves. The animals follow you around and can be stored in the Sack. Given that wolves are more powerful in packs, you can let them out in bulk and let them bite away at monsters or zombies without spending any ammunition.

The Packmaster can tame any wolf that attacks them in the game. However, you will take damage despite taming the wolf. To minimize the HP loss, you must equip your Sack and store the hostile wolf the moment it takes a nibble at you. Each attack from a wolf takes away 15 HP, so make sure you have sufficient health.

Apart from these useful abilities, you also get a Shovel. It is the most basic melee weapon, possessing low damage, but it occasionally stuns enemies.

Tips for using the Packmaster Class in Dead Rails

While wolves are exceptionally strong in Dead Rails, they are ineffective against zombie hordes because they often get stuck. You may want to clear some zombies yourself before sending your pack to finish the rest.

The tamed wolves can also serve as a distraction during tense situations. For instance, when your health is low, you can unleash wolves to battle and block the incoming monsters while you hurry towards the train. You can pick up more wolves using the Packmaster's ability later in the game.

Interestingly, wolves are useful even after death. Grab their corpses and stack them as a wall on the train. This will block any approaching zombies and minimize the damage from bullets fired by outlaws.
