You get Night Stalker in Examination by completing Yuri’s 250-infected survival challenge without dying, while a faster restricted-server pickup route also exists and needs careful handling because one graphics-setting detail varies between runs.
Night Stalker is the suppressed pistol tied to one of Examination’s tougher unlocks. The dependable route is Yuri’s survival challenge: accept the objective, kill 250 infected across the run, defeat the included bosses, and finish D-Zero without dying once.
There is also a faster restricted-server pickup route that ends with Night Stalker lying on the floor near a locked stairwell door. Use the table below to pick the route before you commit a run.
| Route | How it works |
|---|---|
| Yuri challenge | Talk to Yuri, kill 250 infected without dying, beat the bosses, then defeat D-Zero. |
| Classless golden variant | Do the full Yuri challenge without picking a class to receive the cosmetic golden Night Stalker. |
| Restricted-server pickup | Enter a Restricted Server, beat the run including SINITZYN ‘SIN’ KOMAREK, trigger the reset setup, then grab Night Stalker from the stairwell pickup. |
| Other methods | Electrocution kills, public-server D-0, and developer gifts are player-mentioned routes, not dependable unlock paths. |
Yuri challenge route for Night Stalker
This is the main Night Stalker route: one clean survival run, no deaths, and D-Zero beaten at the end.
STEP 1/8
Talk to Yuri
Find Yuri in the lobby and accept his survival challenge for the Night Stalker unlock.
STEP 2/8
Read the NPC dialogue
Yuri and other NPCs explain run-specific details as you play, so read their lines before committing the attempt.
STEP 3/8
Choose a class or stay classless
Pick one of the four classes for the standard Night Stalker, or pick no class if you are going for the golden variant.
STEP 4/8
Eliminate 250 infected
Kill 250 infected across the run without dying; the total includes the bosses folded into the challenge.
STEP 5/8
Adapt after 50 kills
Once you reach 50 kills, the game starts teleporting you to random locations, so be ready to rebuild your position fast.
STEP 6/8
Clear the boss encounters
Keep the run alive through the included boss fights and save enough ammo and healing for the final stretch.
STEP 7/8
Defeat D-Zero last
At 250 kills, finish the D-Zero encounter, complete the button sequence, and press G to throw the knife into D-Zero’s back.
STEP 8/8
Do not die at any point
Any death ends the attempt and forces you to restart the count from the beginning.
Surviving Yuri’s 250-infected run
The most useful hold spot is above Sector 2, where the sightlines and choke points make the infected easier to thin out before they reach you. It is a strong place to farm kills early, but do not treat it like a permanent bunker. If too many enemies stack up, the position can turn from safe to unwinnable very quickly.
After 50 kills, the teleporting starts, and that is where most comfortable runs get messy. Rebuild your spacing first, then start shooting. Wasting ammo while panicking after a teleport can cost the run later, especially when a single bullet would have saved you in the D-Zero stretch.
If you are not playing Medic, lean on your axe for health regeneration and use Life of Force whenever it is available. During the D-Zero fight, watch for the three extra enemies that spawn periodically; they have health similar to Lurkers and can be killed with two headshots each.
Camp above Sector 2 early, then move decisively after the 50-kill teleports begin so you keep the choke-point advantage without letting waves pile up around you.
Golden Night Stalker classless reward
The golden Night Stalker comes from clearing Yuri’s full challenge classless. That means you should not pick one of the four classes before the attempt if the gold version is your goal.
The gold version is purely cosmetic. If you only want the usable Night Stalker and do not care about the cosmetic variant, taking a class is the more forgiving route.
Restricted-server pickup route
This route is faster when executed cleanly, but the pickup window is tight and the graphics-toggle instruction varies between runs.
STEP 1/10
Enter Utility
From the lobby, go through the door marked UTILITY.
STEP 2/10
Use the plush couch teleporter
Approach the couch full of plushes in the room labeled as the private server teleporter for console players.
STEP 3/10
Check the Restricted Server tag
Make sure the red RESTRICTED SERVER tag appears at the top-center of the screen before continuing.
STEP 4/10
Beat the run through Sin
Play through the restricted-server run and defeat SINITZYN ‘SIN’ KOMAREK.
STEP 5/10
Go to Sector 3
Head to Sector 3, follow the hallway, and reach Lift Maintenance.
STEP 6/10
Set up the reset
Stand near the red emergency box, stay completely still for 10 seconds, and make sure the Roblox Respawn button is clickable.
STEP 7/10
Handle the graphics setting
For the graphics setup, runs differ on whether TURN OFF FOR BAD PCs should be enabled or left unchecked while visual settings stay on, so keep this as the one setting to adjust if the pickup fails.
STEP 8/10
Shoot the emergency box
Shoot the red IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES box, then immediately open the menu and press Respawn.
STEP 9/10
Respawn and sprint
After the “You have perished” fade, sprint from the lobby toward the door next to the BLOXY vending machine.
STEP 10/10
<
p class=”vg-step-title” id=”reach-the-stairwell-pickup” style=”margin:16px 0 6px”>Reach the stairwell pickup
Crouch through the brown door, drop down the brick or concrete stairwell, and walk over Night Stalker lying in front of the locked door.
When the pickup works, the badge popup appears at the bottom right for HEART-OF-MENLO, and the weapon appears in your hotbar as Night Stalker. After claiming it, rejoin and pick it up again from the table at spawn if needed.

Other Night Stalker methods to avoid relying on
Players mention a few other ways to get Night Stalker, but they are not good routes to plan around. One claim involves killing another player with electricity in the sector chamber, another involves D-0 appearing in a public server for players to defeat together, and another is simply receiving it from a developer.
There is also event chatter around Night Stalker and Discord access, which conflicts with the Yuri challenge and restricted-server routes. For a repeatable unlock attempt, use Yuri’s 250-infected challenge first, or the restricted-server pickup if you can execute the timing cleanly.
Night Stalker mistakes that ruin the attempt
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Dying during Yuri’s run | Treat the run as deathless from the start; one death resets the 250-kill attempt. |
| Failing the final D-Zero input | Finish the button sequence and press G to throw the knife into D-Zero’s back. |
| Picking a class for the golden version | Go classless for the full Yuri challenge if you want golden Night Stalker. |
| Missing the Restricted Server tag | Do not continue the pickup route unless the red RESTRICTED SERVER label appears. |
| Moving during the reset setup | Stand completely still for 10 seconds near the emergency box before using Respawn. |
| Using the wrong graphics-toggle setup | If the pickup fails, adjust TURN OFF FOR BAD PCs and keep the visual settings requirement in mind. |
| Respawning too slowly | After the reset, sprint immediately to the BLOXY vending machine route and stairwell pickup. |
Most failed Night Stalker attempts come from one of two places: losing the Yuri run to a death, or rushing the restricted-server pickup setup. Before you start, decide whether you are doing the standard weapon, the golden variant, or the pickup route, because the correct choices differ.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it called Nightstalker or Night Stalker?
The in-game item spelling is Night Stalker. Some players write it as Nightstalker, but the weapon itself appears as Night Stalker in the hotbar.
Do you need to kill 250 infected without dying?
Yes. For Yuri’s challenge, you need to kill 250 infected in one run without dying. The count includes bosses, and D-Zero is the final enemy tied to the challenge.
How do you get the golden Night Stalker?
Complete Yuri’s full 250-infected challenge without picking a class. The golden Night Stalker is cosmetic, so it changes the look rather than adding a separate power requirement.
What happens if you die during Yuri’s challenge?
The attempt ends. You have to restart the kill count and complete the challenge again from the beginning without dying.
Is the restricted-server route required?
No. The restricted-server route is only a faster pickup path. The main route is still Yuri’s survival challenge, where you earn Night Stalker by clearing the 250-infected objective and beating D-Zero.
More questions⤵
Why did the restricted-server pickup not appear?
The usual causes are missing the red RESTRICTED SERVER tag, moving during the 10-second reset setup, using the wrong TURN OFF FOR BAD PCs graphics state for your run, or reaching the stairwell too slowly after respawning.
