The Drill to Earth's Core Pirate class is a Tier 5 class for gold and golden loot. It costs 30,000 Cores in the lobby's class shop and starts every run with Pirate armor set and Flintlock, adding Cannon at a higher level. On the class tier list it sits in A tier, from the one list that ranks it (Sportskeeda).
3,048 players held its Roblox class badge on 5 October 2026, the 21th-most of the 26 classes. Few players own it yet, partly because of its price. The classes hub compares all 26 side by side.

How to Unlock Pirate
Classes are bought with Cores at the class shop in the lobby. Sportskeeda and Deltia's Gaming say the shop restocks every 12 hours and Deltia's Gaming says the stock is random, so Pirate may not be for sale when you look; roonby adds that Tier 4 and Tier 5 classes show up less often. Check back after the next restock.
Every Tier 5 class costs 30,000 Cores: Goblin King, Gunsmith, Bounty Hunter, Prospector, Samurai, Executioner and Priest cost the same. Cores come from chests, boss walls, badges and codes; how to get Cores lists every source, and the code GAMENAME on the codes page gives 500 Cores.
Once you own more than one class, Fandom's Classes page says 2,500 Cores roll a random passive from another class you own onto the one you play.
Gold Bar, Gold Trophy and the other gold scrap prices are on the items page; Golden enemies are covered in mutations.
Pirate Patch Changes and Source Notes
- The 22 August patch notes raised Level 2 to +200% for golden items; allthings.how on 24 September lists +100%.
