Rede Nerd Core

Rede Nerds Core is a Forge mod developed for the Rede Nerds zombie apocalypse experience. It provides a complete class and progression system designed around survival, PvP, faction warfare, base raiding and team specialization.

Players choose a permanent class and unlock new abilities through an individual skill tree. Each class has its own attributes, advantages, disadvantages, crafting permissions and gameplay role.

Available Classes

• Medic — Treats bleeding and infections, performs faster medical procedures and revives players without consuming adrenaline.
• Soldier — A combat-focused class with increased health, higher melee damage, reduced incoming damage and improved firearm handling.
• Captain — Focused on faction leadership, territory management and command-related abilities.
• Farmer — Produces additional food, consumes less hunger and unlocks advanced Farmer’s Delight recipes.
• Engineer — Crafts firearms, ammunition, attachments and explosives, while also repairing and dismantling weapons.
• Lone Wolf — A self-sufficient class with access to selected abilities from other classes, but with faction restrictions.
• Mechanic — Reserved for a future vehicle-focused update and currently unavailable.
