GHOUL://RE can be an absolutely abysmal experience if you don’t know what you need to do. True to the nature of many Roblox games, you’ll be thrown into the world, expect to know everything while a swarm of high level players absolutely destroy you. What fun!
This is exactly why we created this Complete Beginner’s guide to GHOUL://RE, so you can have a better experience than we initially had.
Tip: This guide is a work in progress
Ghoul://RE is still in development, and many things in this guide are subject to change.
Character Creation
The first time you log into the game, you’ll get to choose between either being male or female, and picking a name for your character. Unfortunately, you won’t get to choose the team you’ll be playing on, which is probably for the best, but we digress.
You’ll be randomly assigned to either CCG (Humans) or Ghouls. If you aren’t happy with your choice, fear not, because you’ll be seeing this screen relatively soon, and hopefully, you’ll be able to try out the other team (hopefully).

How to progress in GHOUL://RE
GHOUL://RE describes itself as a hardcore PvP game, and it certainly lives up to that description. As soon as you spawn into the world, you are essentially a sitting duck, just waiting for high level players to destroy you, even if they gain nothing out of doing so.
To progress in GHOUL://RE, you need to kill other players (sometimes NPCs), not get killed by other players, and occasionally upgrade your skills and weapons. This is the basic gameplay loop regardless if you’re playing as a ghoul or human.
One thing you definitely need to keep in mind is: you will die over, and over, and over again. If you’re okay with that, cool, you’ll fit right in. Otherwise, this may not be the game for you. You’ll likely die less if you’re playing in a group, but if you’re going in solo (like we did), get ready for a less-than-ideal experience of you getting killed, spawn killed, and killed again until you figure everything out. Alternatively, you can read this guide and avoid all of that.
CCG Progression in GHOUL://RE
If you’ve spawned as a human, the first thing you need to do is visit the CCG building and become an Investigator. The CCG building is located around the middle of the map. Just look for a walled building with a little park in the walled area, and you’re all set. You’ll likely see other CCG humans coming in and out of the building. Walk in and talk to the receptionist to become a member.
From then on, you can accept missions, bounties and take part in events around town for the CCG. You can also buy and craft weapons from this building. Our advice is to pick up a starter weapon, find or create a crew of other humans, and go on a patrol to gain some experience so you can improve your Stats & Skills.
At Investigator rank 1, you’ll be able to create your first Quinque. Definitely bring a crew with you for this because you may end up losing your money if you fail.
Unfortunately, if you’re playing as a human, you’ll likely have a harder time leveling up than playing as a ghoul but this should change for the better as development of the game continues.
Ghoul Progression in GHOUL://RE
According to the Discord (and our experience), being a ghoul is a lot more fun. In fact, it’s almost a breeze when you compare the two. As a ghoul you need to eat other human players and NPCs to increase your RC, which ultimately makes you stronger. While you can’t regenerate your health as fast as humans, you have more health, are stronger and, yeah, you’re more likely to win fights. The only annoying thing is you need to keep your Hunger in check by constantly eating, but that’s just part of being a ghoul.
When you gain 5,000 RC, you can wake up your Kugane which makes you almost unbeatable to the point where the only thing other players can do is wait for your Hunger bar to drop.
Ghouls can also accept missions from Anteiku which can earn them ranks and some money.
How to reroll your faction in GHOUL://RE
Every server hour, there will be a perma-death showdown between all players – Delirum. You’ll be given a warning when this is about to start and you can choose to close the game and move to a different server. During the deathmatch, you earn improved rewards, better loot, but if you get killed, you lose everything, including your character.
While this may sound bad, it’s also a chance for you to get reborn, or in other words, change your faction. If you die during the perma-death event, you’ll be sent to purgatory, and you’ll get a chance to be reborn again and start fresh. It’s still random whether or not you’ll be reborn as the other faction, but either way, you’ll start from scratch no matter what you end up getting.
So, if you’re sick of being a human, hopefully you can get reborn as a ghoul, or vice-versa.
