| Weapon | Inventory weight | Signature mechanic |
|---|---|---|
| Prince Long Rifle | Two slots | Bolt-action with a seven-round base capacity; Q switches between Single and Repeating fire modes. |
| Jesse Combat Rifle | Two slots | Ten-round bolt-action; its alternate action equips a Rifle Grenade. |
| Honour Duty Pistol | One slot | Q attaches a stock that reduces recoil, but you cannot switch items while it is attached. |
| Inventory Weight | Soldat starts with three slots; Rook, Mortician, and Officer start with two. | Primary weapons generally cost two slots and secondary weapons one. |
Grave Digger Perks
Compare perk effects to build around accuracy, reload speed, mobility, or extra supplies. Each perk costs one Medal to unlock, and becoming a Shock Trooper disables your equipped perk.
Marksman
Improves Steady Aim, recoil control, and bullet spread; the spread improvement does not apply to shotgun buckshot.
Veteran
Starts with maximum reserve ammunition, improves reloading, and prevents ammunition loss during wasteful reloads; cannot receive Morale.
Survivalist
Adds one inventory weight slot and increases class equipment and supplies.
Black Hand
Improves weapon draw and aim speeds, reduces movement slowdown while aiming or firing, and increases firearm fire rate.
Grave Digger Shock Troopers
Understand how Shock Trooper kits convert a regular class into an elite soldier. Learn the eligibility rules, crate restrictions, and equipment changes before attempting to claim a kit.
Eligibility
Earn at least three kills to qualify; killing a Shock Trooper or substituting surgeries for missing kills can also meet the requirement.
Crate Access
Shock Trooper crates cannot be claimed while locked; unlock and deployment conditions depend on the game mode.
Health and Ammunition
Shock Troopers have 300 health and infinite reserve ammunition, although their weapons can still require reloading.
Class Conversion
Keep your class tools and equipment while elite weapons replace your primary and secondary weapons; your perk is disabled.
Grave Digger Mining and Construction
Learn how to open tunnels through mineable terrain and build defenses as a Rook. Follow the mining controls, then use the Construct Hammer to plan and complete fortifications.
Find mineable rock
Find grey rock to excavate; the Mining Pick and Heavy Pickaxe cannot mine black rock.
Mine with the pick
With the Mining Pick, hold the left mouse button to mine, or hold both mouse buttons for precision mining. Mining produces noise.
Manage Rook mining strength
As a Rook, press Q with the Heavy Pickaxe to switch mining strength; press R to use a Sharpening Stone when sharpness needs replenishing.
Plan the construct
Equip the Rook's Construct Hammer, press Q to select a construct, and press the left mouse button to place its plan if you have enough Supplies.
Build the construct
Strike the planned construct to build it. Available defenses and support structures include Palisades, Barricades, Sandbags, Rook Caches, and Barbed Wire.
Grave Digger Game Modes
Learn the objectives and victory conditions for Control, Assault, and Territory Push. Understand how Campaign links skirmishes and how Final Stand differs from the end-of-match Last Stand phase.
Control
Capture one to three control points to drain enemy Reinforcement Tickets; the team that runs out of tickets loses.
Assault
Attackers must capture three objectives in sequence, while defenders try to exhaust the attackers' reinforcements.
Territory Push
Fight across five control points in a line; losing every point or running out of Reinforcement Tickets causes defeat.
Campaign
A linked series of skirmishes where winners vote on the next battle; reaching four wins sends the opposing faction into the concluding defense.
Final Stand
Defend the Forward Operating Base or assault its gates; defenders can attempt evacuation when the train arrives at the five-minute mark.
Grave Digger Medals and Ranks
Learn how experience earns Medals for unlocks and how playtime determines rank titles. Compare purchase costs and early rank milestones to plan your progression.
Medal Earnings
Earn one Medal for every 200 experience; combat, surgery, objectives, and team support contribute experience.
Unlock Costs
Weapons and perks cost one Medal each, while cosmetics cost ten Medals.
Rank Requirements
Ranks depend on hours played and provide a title rather than gameplay bonuses; the two main factions share the same hour requirements.
Early Rank Milestones
At ten hours, become Squire or Private First Class; at 25 hours, Knight or Corporal; at 50 hours, Knight Commander or Sergeant.
Grave Digger FAQ
Common questions about Grave/Digger, answered for new and returning players learning combat, loadouts, and progression, including console players.
Can I play Grave/Digger on console?
Consoles are enabled, but the developer says support is incomplete and some controls may not work. Mouse and keyboard are recommended; the official Trello documents console controls with a reminder to test your layout.
What base classes are available in Grave/Digger?
The official Trello lists seven base classes: Soldat, Rook, Mortician, Officer, Jaeger, Lancer, and Vanguard. They cover infantry and ammunition support, engineering, medicine, reconnaissance, traps, melee combat, and shield protection.
Can every class dig in Grave/Digger?
Yes. Classes have a Mining Pick, while Rook uses a Heavy Pickaxe. The standard Mining Pick breaks grey rock but cannot mine black rock. Hold the primary mouse button to mine, or both mouse buttons for precision mining; digging makes noise.
How do I shoot and steady my aim in Grave/Digger?
Hold the right mouse button to aim, wait for the aiming delay, then press the left mouse button to fire. While standing still and aiming, hold Shift to steady your aim. Use R to reload and T to check ammunition.
Why can I not equip every weapon combination in Grave/Digger?
Weapons use inventory weight. Most classes have two weight slots, while Soldat has three. Primary weapons cost two slots and secondary weapons cost one. The Survivalist perk adds one slot, allowing Soldat with Survivalist to carry two primary weapons.
How do I earn and spend Medals in Grave/Digger?
Medals buy weapons, perks, and cosmetics. The official Trello states that 200 experience earns one Medal. Experience comes from activities such as finishing rounds, combat, healing allies, capturing objectives, and supporting your team.
Do higher ranks make me stronger in Grave/Digger?
No. Ranks are titles earned through hours spent in the game and provide no gameplay or cosmetic benefits beyond the title. The Golden Empire and Royal Nation use different rank names but share the same playtime requirements.
Are there any verified active Grave/Digger codes?
As of October 4, 2026, no developer-confirmed promotional reward codes were found in the official sources checked. The command /restoredata restores Beta-period Hours and Kills; it is not a promotional code.
Is Grave/Digger still in its original Beta period?
The official Campaign Launch V.1 notes dated August 16, 2025 mark the game's full launch after Beta. The June 29, 2024 Roblox creation date is earlier and should not be confused with that launch date.
