Land or Die Unlock Classes – How to Get Every Class
Learn how to unlock classes in Land or Die, including Mile costs, level milestones, and class perks. Complete guide with requirements and tips.
Classes in Land or Die are special roles that change how you play each flight. Each class has a unique role, such as pilot, refuel specialist, or crew member, and comes with its own perks and level milestones. This guide explains how to unlock classes, what they cost in Miles, and what each class does once you have it.
Overview
In Land or Die, classes are purchased with Miles, the in-game currency earned by completing flights and surviving emergencies. Once you buy a class, you can equip it before a flight to access its unique abilities and role-based objectives.
The class system is tied to progression: higher-tier classes cost more Miles and require you to complete specific in-game actions to level them up. Leveling a class unlocks additional perks and milestones.
| Class | Role | Unlock Cost | How to Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andreas the Amateur | Pilot | 60,000 Miles | Level 1: Auto-unlocked after purchase |
| Gary the Gas Attendee | Refuel Specialist | Not verified | Level 2: Buy food 200 times |
| Tanner the Top Gun | Ace Pilot | Not verified | Level 3: Talk to 50 stressed passengers |
Note: Exact Mile costs for classes other than Andreas the Amateur could not be verified from the collected source material. Check the in-game class menu for current pricing.
Requirements
Before you can unlock classes, you need to meet these base requirements:
- Miles: You must earn enough Miles to purchase a class. The starting class costs 60,000 Miles.
- Level: Some classes may require a minimum player level before they appear in the shop.
- Role Compatibility: Certain classes are tied to specific roles (pilot, crew, refuel specialist) and may require you to have completed related flight objectives.
How to Earn Miles
Miles are earned passively by:
- Completing flights successfully
- Surviving emergency events (fires, storms, tsunamis, mid-air collisions)
- Responding to air traffic control instructions
- Helping other passengers during flights

How to Obtain and Find Classes
Follow these steps to unlock a new class:
- Open the Class Menu – From the main lobby, select the Classes tab.
- Browse Available Classes – Each class shows its role, rarity, and unlock cost in Miles.
- Check Your Mile Balance – Make sure you have enough Miles to cover the purchase price.
- Select and Purchase – Click the class you want and confirm the purchase. The Miles are deducted immediately.
- Equip the Class – After purchase, equip the class from your loadout before starting a flight.
- Level the Class – Complete the class-specific level milestones to unlock additional perks.
Uses: When Each Class Helps
Use classes to assign clearer crew jobs before the plane becomes chaotic. A pilot-focused class should stay near the cockpit and handle landing decisions. A fuel or repair-focused class should carry tools and respond to system failures. A passenger-focused class should stay close to the cabin, feed stressed passengers, and use medkits only when a passenger is in real danger.
The safest early approach is to buy a class that matches the job you already perform well. If you usually manage passengers, unlock a support class first. If you are the strongest pilot in your group, choose a cockpit-focused class before spending Miles on optional variety.
Level Milestones
Each class has multiple level milestones. For example:
- Level 1: Automatically unlocked after purchasing the class.
- Level 2: Requires completing a set number of in-game actions (e.g., buy food 200 times for Gary the Gas Attendee).
- Level 3: Requires a harder objective (e.g., talk to 50 stressed passengers).
Leveling a class improves its effectiveness and may unlock new abilities or cosmetic variations.
Common Mistakes
Avoid these errors when unlocking classes in Land or Die:
- Spending Miles on the wrong class – If you prefer piloting, choose Andreas the Amateur first. If you play support, Gary the Gas Attendee is a better early pick. Check our best class guide before spending.
- Ignoring level milestones – Buying a class is only step one. You must actively complete its level objectives to gain the full benefits.
- Not checking the class shop regularly – New classes are added with updates. Prices and availability can change between versions.
- Assuming all classes cost the same – Costs vary. The only verified price is 60,000 Miles for Andreas the Amateur.
Advanced Tips
Once you understand the basics, use these strategies to unlock classes faster:
- Prioritize high-value flight objectives – Responding to air traffic control messages and avoiding emergencies like tsunamis and storms yields more Miles per flight.
- Focus on one class at a time – Leveling a single class to its max milestone is more efficient than spreading your playtime across multiple classes.
- Pair class choice with flight role – If you are the pilot, a pilot-class perk is more useful than a crew perk. Match your class to your preferred role on the plane.
- Watch for class-specific events – The game occasionally runs events that boost Mile earnings or reduce class prices. These are announced in-game and on the official Roblox page.
