Crafter, canonically named Dwayne, is an unlockable User in the Roblox asymmetrical survival game PURSUITCORE who functions as a Buildup Stunner. Spawning with 100 HP, a base speed of 16/30, and weak wooden equipment, Crafter relies on gathering raw materials to upgrade into Iron or Diamond gear while deploying defensive utilities. Once fully upgraded, he shifts from a vulnerable target into one of the strongest defensive assets on the User team.
Overview and How to Unlock Crafter in Pursuitcore
Crafter is purchased for 500 points at the in-game Prize Corner shop. In lore and community logs, Crafter is classified as a Human (Var. Crafter) who escaped the corruption of Blankstare's realm. He was the first User added to PURSUITCORE by developer TamaCorp.

Crafter's central mechanic is his passive ability, Inventory. His inventory stores up to 64 items across five specific materials: Dirt, Stone, Iron, Gold, and Diamond. When the 64-item cap is reached, continued mining automatically replaces the oldest gathered materials. Players can also manually discard items one by one by clicking their corresponding inventory icons.
Crafter Abilities and Tool Upgrades
Crafter manages his toolkit through three dedicated abilities: Tool (Key: Q), Swap Tool (Key: R), and Craft (Key: E). Using Swap Tool switches between his Sword, Pickaxe, and stored Utility on a 1-second cooldown. Spawning into a round always equips the Sword by default.
Sword Tiers and Dash Properties
Pressing Q with the Sword equipped causes Crafter to dash in the exact direction he is facing, granting 1.2 seconds of invulnerability (i-frames). Hitting a Terminator with a swing awards 10 materials to Crafter's inventory. The Sword has a base cooldown of 23 seconds (reduced to 18 seconds on Gold). If multiple Crafter duplicates are alive on the team, stun durations decrease by 0.1 seconds per duplicate.
| Sword Tier | Dash Distance | Debuff on Terminator | Debuff Duration | Materials Awarded |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wood | Pitiful | Slowness | 0.8 seconds | Dirt, Stone |
| Stone | Weak | Slowness | 1.3 seconds | Dirt, Stone, Iron |
| Iron | Good | Stun | 1.2 seconds | Any Item |
| Gold | Great | Slowness (-10 Speed) | 1.6 seconds | Any Item (Except Diamond) |
| Diamond | Farthest | Stun | 1.6 seconds | Any Item |
Pickaxe Tiers and Mining Rates
Equipping the Pickaxe and activating Q begins continuous mining. In normal play, Crafter is locked to a walking pace while mining and cannot sprint. Opening any menu cancels the Pickaxe state automatically, and switching to, using, or canceling the Pickaxe incurs a brief 1-second cooldown.
| Pickaxe Tier | Mining Speed | Available Material Pool |
|---|---|---|
| Wood | ~2.4 items per second | Dirt, Stone |
| Stone | ~2.6 items per second | Dirt, Stone, Iron |
| Iron | ~2.7 items per second | Dirt, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond |
| Gold | ~3.2 items per second | Dirt, Stone, Iron, Gold |
| Diamond | ~2.8 items per second | Dirt, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond |
Crafting Menu and Utilities
Activating Craft (Key: E) opens a menu with a 13-second cooldown to upgrade tool tiers or construct utilities. Tools upgrade as a matched pair (Sword and Pickaxe together). The interface includes a quick-craft sidebar that reduces menu interactions during high-pressure chases:
- Hotkey 1: Upgrades to the highest tool tier currently affordable.
- Hotkey 2: Crafts a Dirt Wall (Costs 15 Dirt).
- Hotkey 3: Crafts a Stone Wall (Costs 10 Stone).
- Hotkey 4: Crafts a Minecart (Costs 5 Iron and 2 Gold).
Tool upgrades strictly require 5 of the corresponding material: 5 Stone for Stone tools, 5 Iron for Iron tools, 5 Gold for Gold tools, and 5 Diamonds for Diamond tools.
Crafter can store one crafted Utility at a time. Activating the Utility enters an aiming stance with a shift-locked camera and slightly lowered movement speed. Canceling the stance triggers a 5-second cooldown, while placing a utility incurs a 29-second cooldown across all three types:
- Dirt Wall: Erects a small dirt barrier for 5 seconds. Users can pass through it freely. Terminators can easily jump over or walk around it, giving it virtually no practical utility in competitive play.
- Stone Wall: Erects a tall barrier for 5 seconds that Terminators cannot jump over. It is situational, primarily used to choke off narrow corridors or stall charge abilities from Terminators like Dot X and Party Pony.
- Minecart: Deploys a cart that moves straight ahead. If it hits a Terminator, it picks them up and carries them along its path until colliding with a wall or obstacle, inflicting a 0.5-second stun upon crash.
How to Play Crafter: Optimal Progression and Strategy
Playing Crafter successfully requires strict resource priority and fast menu navigation. Because Crafter has minimal self-defense at the start of a match, the early game determines his effectiveness.
- Swap to Pickaxe immediately: Spawning places a wooden sword in your hands. Press R and select 2 to equip the Pickaxe right away, then begin mining near teammates who can protect you.
- Upgrade straight to Iron: Wooden and Stone swords only slow the killer without delivering a hard stun. Mine 5 Stone, craft Stone tools, then mine 5 Iron to obtain Iron tools as rapidly as possible.
- Prioritize Diamond over Gold: Community analysis and high-tier gameplay favor upgrading directly to Diamond tools. While the Gold pickaxe boasts the fastest mining rate (3.2 items/sec), the Gold sword only applies a 1.6-second slowness debuff on an 18-second cooldown. The Diamond sword grants the longest forward lunge, maximum mobility, and a hard 1.6-second stun. Because tools upgrade as a set, skipping Gold ensures you do not waste gold materials that should be reserved for Minecarts.
- Reserve Gold for Minecarts: Each Minecart requires 2 Gold and 5 Iron. The Minecart is Crafter's primary utility tool because sending a Terminator down a long hallway wastes massive amounts of the killer's time. Use it when the killer is locked in narrow corridors or already stunned by teammates like Mikaela.
- Maximize Last Man Standing (LMS): Crafter's LMS passive allows him to sprint while mining. This eliminates his movement penalty, letting you gather resources and replenish inventory mid-chase while your defensive abilities recover.
Crafter Skins and Character Trivia
Crafter features the largest wardrobe of any User in PURSUITCORE, holding 12 unique skins:
- Confirmed Skins: Tennis, Movie, Milestone, Survivor, Gamer, Skeleton, Homeless, Garbage Man, and Beta.
- Development History: In earlier builds, Crafter possessed a unique death animation where he fell to his side and turned red, referencing classic Minecraft death mechanics. An earlier draft allowed him to mine wood and craft a bow, which was later removed to streamline the resource system.
- Character Lore: In PURSUITCORE canon, Crafter is close friends with Fukatsuki and is actively hunted across dimensions by the Terminator Blankstare.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Crafter cost in Pursuitcore?
Crafter costs 500 points in the shop at the Prize Corner.
What is Crafter's Last Man Standing (LMS) ability?
When Crafter is the final surviving User, his LMS ability activates, allowing him to run while actively mining with his Pickaxe.
What are the recipe costs for Crafter's utilities?
Dirt Wall costs 15 Dirt, Stone Wall costs 10 Stone, and the Minecart costs 5 Iron and 2 Gold. Tool tier upgrades always cost 5 of the corresponding tier material (5 Stone, 5 Iron, 5 Gold, or 5 Diamonds).
Why do players skip Gold tools on Crafter?
Gold tools are generally skipped because the Gold sword only inflicts a 1.6-second slowness debuff rather than a true stun, whereas the Diamond sword delivers a 1.6-second hard stun and a longer dash. Additionally, crafting Gold tools consumes Gold materials that are better spent manufacturing Minecarts.
