Walking Dead Online 3 Tier List
Use this role-first list to decide what a run needs. It does not pretend one weapon, vehicle, or location is universally best.
Survival job, distance, and exit value
Compare defense, sustain, transport, route exposure, group support, and the ability to leave.
Broad roles are stronger than exact numbers
Weapons, vehicles, equipment, and factions are official. Exact stats and universal rankings are not published here.

First-run order
Nearby defense first, food and healing second, and a known return path before major travel.
Supply-run order
Repeat the route that preserves transport, healing, ammunition, and a clean exit.
Bunker order
Add transport, sustain, matching ammunition, inventory room, and a current keycard lead.
Faction use
A group needs responsibilities, not duplicate loadouts
Assign route, supply, rear-watch, and extraction calls. These are planning jobs, not official classes.
