Drill to Earth's Core Recruit Levels and Perks
| Level | Perk | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +20% melee and gun damage | Buy the class (100 Cores) |

The perks are paraphrased from allthings.how's class list (24 September). Requirements come only from a dated or named source, shown after each one; Fandom's older class table predates several balance patches, so check the class menu in the lobby before you grind.
The Level 4 perk works for the whole team, not only you.
How to Unlock Recruit
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 Recruit may not be for sale when you look. Check back after the next restock.
Every Tier 1 class costs 100 Cores: Miner 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.
Its damage and health bonuses are small, so the beginner guide is the better read on what to do in a first run. Its Level 3 perk raises scrap prices, which the items page lists.
Tier 1 Classes Compared
