99 Nights in the Forest: Fishing Update – Reel in Epic Loot!
Yo, survival squad, ready to reel in the 99 Nights in the Forest Fishing Update and boost your camp’s food game? Launched August 13, 2025, on Roblox, this update for 99 Nights in the Forest by Grandma’s Favorite Games drops fishing rods, a fiery Pyromaniac class, and new ways to feed your team. GGGAMER.net’s guide dives into how to fish, upgrade rods, and unlock the Pyromaniac’s flamethrower chaos. Grab your rod and let’s hit the pond to rule the forest!
Fishing 101: How to Start Casting
The 99 Nights in the Forest Fishing Update (v1.4.0) adds fishing to keep your camp fed while battling deer monsters and cultists. Head to the pond near a fully upgraded campfire (Level 3) to start. You’ll need a fishing rod, available from:
Fisherman Class (100 Diamonds): Spawns with a Level 1 rod, plus boosted fish hook and bait drops.
Chests: Randomly find rods in Rare Chests post-campfire upgrade.
Crafting: Trade 50 logs and 10 scrap at the crafting bench for a basic rod.
Click when the rod shakes to reel in fish like mackerel or salmon. Higher rod levels (upgraded with XP from fishing) yield rarer catches, like bait or special items.
Pyromaniac Class: Burn Up the Forest
The update’s star is the Pyromaniac class (600 Diamonds), a fiery beast with a flamethrower. Its perks:
Auto-Cook Food: Fish and meat cook instantly when picked up, saving camp resources.
Burn Boost: Killing enemies (burned or not) grants +15% speed for 10 seconds.
Flamethrower: Uses fuel canisters (found in chests) to torch enemies, dealing 50% more damage than melee.
Downside? It’s pricey, and fuel is rare early-game. Save this for mid-to-late runs unless you’re stacked with Diamonds.
Upgrading Your Fishing Rod
Level up your rod at the Class Menu (lobby) or Fisherman NPC by earning XP from catches:
Level 1: Catches mackerel (basic food, +10 hunger).
Level 2: Unlocks salmon (+15 hunger) and occasional bait.
Level 3: Rare bait drops and special items (e.g., bolts for crafting).
XP Grind: Catch ~50 fish per level. Mackerel gives 5 XP, salmon 10 XP.
Pro tip: Fisherman class doubles XP gain, making upgrades faster.
Fish for Food & Loot
Fishing isn’t just for hunger—catches boost your camp:
Mackerel: Basic food, keeps your team alive early-game.
Salmon: Higher hunger restore, ideal for long nights.
Bait & Bolts: Rare drops for crafting traps or weapons (e.g., crossbows).
Team Feeding: Auto-cooked fish (via Pyromaniac) save campfire fuel, letting you focus on building.
Players on forums praise fishing for cutting food grind time, especially with a Level 3 rod.
Pyromaniac vs. Other Classes
The Pyromaniac’s a beast, but how’s it stack up?
Vs. Assassin/Cyborg: These S-tier classes (500-600 Diamonds) dominate combat with knives/lasers. Pyromaniac’s better for utility (auto-cook, speed).
Vs. Fisherman: Fisherman’s cheaper (100 Diamonds) and fishing-focused but lacks combat power.
When to Buy: Wait for a buff or grab Pyromaniac mid-game when you’ve got fuel canisters.
The Pyromaniac’s flamethrower is a game-changer for clearing cultist camps, but its cost makes Fisherman a solid early pick.
Tips to Maximize the Fishing Update
Prioritize Campfire: Upgrade to Level 3 ASAP to unlock the pond.
Fisherman First: Start with this class for faster rod upgrades and bait drops.
Stock Fuel: For Pyromaniac, hoard canisters from chests before buying.
Night Fishing: Fish at night to avoid deer monster spawns near ponds.
