FAQ

Is the Engineer class out in Drill to Earth's Core?
Yes, but very few players have it. Its badge was created on 1 October 2026 and had 524 unlocks by 17 October, with 24 in the past day. Vampire, added six days later, already has over 30,000.
How much does the Engineer class cost?
Unknown. No guide or creator video has shown its price. If you're in the game, the Academy in the lobby shows it. This page gets the number once a source confirms it.
Why do so few players have the Engineer class?
We don't know. The low count could mean it's expensive or unlocked some other way, but no source says how. We won't guess a price until someone shows it.
What does the Engineer class do?
Not documented yet. The only official data is the badge, which says "Unlock the Engineer class". Its passives get added here once a source tests them.

Is Engineer out?

Yes, but almost nobody has it. The badge, Unlock the Engineer class, was created on 1 October 2026 (21:25 UTC). It’s awarding unlocks, so the class is reachable in game.

The count is tiny, though. By 17 October it had 524 unlocks, with 24 in the past day.

Only the first two rows are solid. We leave the rest blank on purpose, because a made-up price would have you saving for a number that doesn’t exist.

Why so few players have it

Compare it with Vampire. Vampire’s badge came six days later and passed 30,050 unlocks in the same window. Engineer has about 1/60th of that.

We don’t know the reason. It might cost a lot, or it might unlock through something other than Cores. No guide or creator video we found explains it, and we haven’t found any footage of the class yet.

What we’ll add next

Once a source shows the Academy listing, we’ll add the price, tier and how you unlock it. The level-by-level kit follows once someone tests it.

If you own Engineer, a screenshot of its Academy page in the comments is the fastest way to fill this in.

What to do meanwhile

Bank Cores. Every class on the roster runs from 100 to 30,000 Cores, so you’ll want a buffer whatever Engineer costs. The get Cores guide covers the fastest ways to earn them, and the codes page has free Cores you can claim today.

The best classes tier list ranks what’s documented, and the all classes page has the full price list.
