Drill to Earth's Core is a Roblox game where you dig deeper underground, mining ore, fighting enemies and breaking through boss walls as you go. Before each run, you pick a class in the lobby, which is a role such as miner, driller, healer or gunslinger. Every class comes with starting gear and bonuses built around its job, so the one you choose shapes how your run goes.

How Classes Work in Drill to Earth's Core
A class is a role you pick in the lobby before a run. Each one is built around a single job, such as mining, upgrading the drill, healing or fighting, and it comes with starting gear and passive bonuses that support that job.
You still dig, keep an eye on your fuel and reach checkpoints the same way, but your class gives you a head start on whatever it's built for.
How to Buy Classes With Cores
Classes are bought with Cores, a separate currency from the Coins you earn during a run. You earn Cores by opening chests and breaking boss walls, so the progress you make in runs is what pays for your classes.
You buy classes from the class shop in the lobby. The shop only shows a random selection at a time, so the class you want may be missing on your first look. If that happens, check back later, since the selection changes over time.
Classes are sold across price tiers, and higher tiers cost more Cores. Cheaper tiers are an easy first step, while the top tier is a goal to save up for.
How Class Levels Work
Each class has four levels. The first three unlock by reaching goals during your runs, and each class has its own goals, such as mining ore, defeating enemies or reaching a set depth. Playing with a class is what levels it up, and higher levels unlock stronger bonuses and better starting gear.
Level 4 works differently. It's a team bonus that helps the people in your run once you unlock it. That means a class you've leveled up can help the people you play with, even if they picked something else.
Which Class to Pick for How You Play
Each class's bonuses are built around one job, so a class only pays off if that job is what you spend most of your run doing. Start by thinking about the part of a run you enjoy most, then pick the class built for it.
Miner suits players who want to mine and earn Coins. Its boosts raise your pickaxe damage.
Driller is for the drill itself. It makes drill upgrades cheaper, adds more damage against walls and gets extra damage when your fuel runs low, which makes it a natural choice for digging as deep as you can.
Healer is the support pick for players who like keeping their group in the fight. Its bonuses center on healing and Medical items.
For fighting, Gunslinger focuses on guns, with bigger gun damage and a chance for defeated enemies to drop ammo. Executioner is built for boss fights, greatly boosting damage against bosses, and at its top level, each boss kill gives the team a free drill upgrade to choose from.
FAQ
What's a good first class to buy?
Miner is a sensible first purchase. It sits in the cheapest tier, and its starting gear includes a pickaxe and Miner Armor, so it helps from the very first run.
Is the Healer still useful if I play alone?
Yes. Its medical bonuses still apply when you're on your own, so you get value from it without a group. Playing with others adds the team healing bonus at its top level on top of that.
Do I need Cores to level up a class?
No. Leveling costs no Cores at all, so once you own a class, the only cost is the time spent reaching its goals in your runs.
