Dead Rails Bonds Guide

What Are Bonds?

Bonds are a form of currency in Dead Rails that you can spend in the hub city on various items. This includes weapons and ammo at the Gunsmith, healing at the doctor, and useful items that will help you on your journey at the General Store.

You can also purchase items by visiting forts, which appear each time you pass 10 kilometres on the train. So they’re super helpful at all stages of the game, be it stocking up ahead of a ride, or grabbing items on your journey.

How to Get Bonds

You can get bonds in Dead Rails from the following locations:

• Bank vaults
• Castles
• Abandoned houses
• Forts

As long as you’re good at getting off the train and looting the environment, you will gather a steady stream of bonds. You will need either the Dead Rails Bank Vault code or dynamite (which you can get from general stores) to gain access to vaults.

The most reliable methods are by looting every bank vault you see, as they almost always include bonds. The second most is the castle, which usually spawns after you’ve travelled at least 40 kilometres.

Bear in mind that castles typically feature a ton of enemies to beat, so make sure you’re well stocked with ammo and explosives to finish them all off.

Do so and you have a full castle’s worth of loot to uncover, which includes the highly-coveted Dead Rails Vampire Knife.

Wrapping up, you can get lucky with bonds in abandoned houses or, occasionally, in forts. Bonds in forts usually start to appear about the 80 kilometre mark though, so you will have to travel a considerable distance.
