The Meteor Shower update for 99 Nights in the Forest (Roblox) launched on September 27, 2025, introducing a major new survival event, fresh enemies, weapons, and crafting recipes to the game.
Meteor Shower Event Overview
- The event features meteors falling randomly across the forest after day 5 or later, with the sky turning red and a warning message—“The sky is on fire”—appearing before the shower starts.
- Players can seek out meteor crash sites, mine meteors for valuable shards and gold, and encounter new event enemies (“meteor crabs”) guarding the craters.
- Meteors can be mined using axes, with harvested meteor shards used in new crafting recipes for high-tier gear and weapons.
New Content and Rewards
- Four new achievements (badges) have been added:
- Open an obsidian chest.
- Kill 20 meteor crabs.
- Mine 25 meteors.
- Craft 25 items at the meteor anvil.
- The update included new craftable items, new enemy types near meteor sites, and new survival strategies centered around the event.
Gameplay Changes
- The meteors, their loot, and hostile guardians have the potential to drastically alter player strategies, making resource collection and crafting more dynamic during meteor shower events.
- The meteor anvil is a new crafting station identified by a red icon on the map, used for the updated crafting achievements.
This Meteor Shower update is one of the most community-driven and impactful event additions to 99 Nights in the Forest so far, bringing new ways to survive, special loot, and new enemies to challenge players.
Effective Weapons Against Meteor Crabs
The most effective weapons against meteor crabs in 99 Nights in the Forest are high-damage melee weapons, especially upgraded axes like the Chainsaw, Strong Axe, and Ice Axe, as well as newly introduced meteorite or obsidian weapons. The Chainsaw is particularly efficient because it delivers rapid, continuous damage, making it easier to defeat the crabs before they can deal significant harm.
Players also report success using ranged tactics, such as kiting the meteor crabs in circles and attacking from a distance using powerful weapons or skills, to avoid the crabs’ burst damage. Equipping armor upgrades, such as armor trim kits, further increases survivability during these encounters.
In summary, using a Chainsaw or other high-tier axes, crafting and equipping meteor-themed weapons at the meteor anvil, and maintaining good armor are the best strategies for efficiently countering meteor crabs during the Meteor Shower event.
All Meteor Shower Badges
The Meteor Shower event in 99 Nights in the Forest features four unique badges (achievements) for players to unlock during the event.
| Badge Name | Requirement | How to Unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Obsidiron Chest Badge | Craft and open an Obsidiron Chest | Farm meteor shards, craft at the anvil, and open the chest. |

| Meteor Miner Badge | Mine 25 meteor craters | Use high-damage tools (Chainsaw, Strong Axe) to break meteor rocks. |

These badges add an extra challenge and encourage exploration and crafting during the Meteor Shower event.
Best Farming Spots
The best farming spots in the Meteor Shower update of 99 Nights in the Forest are meteor crash sites, which appear after day 5 during meteor showers. These sites contain valuable meteors to mine for shards, gold, and obsidian.
Key Farming Tips and Locations
- Meteor Crash Sites: Watch the sky for red warnings and glowing meteor trails during a shower. Meteor craters appear where the trails end, usually marked by smoke, new terrain damage, and clusters of hostile creatures (meteor crabs and wolves).
- Landmarks: Use visible map landmarks like ponds, large rocks, or clearings to track the direction of falling meteors, as crash sites are not marked on the minimap.
- Efficient Group Farming: Farming in a team is more effective, as groups can quickly clear creatures and mine multiple crash sites in one run, maximizing meteor shard collection.
- Resource Refinement: Farming near water is recommended for refining obsidiron ingots and crafting at the meteor anvil as soon as meteor shards are collected.
- Persistence: Meteor crash sites remain until mined, so if a meteor impact location is missed, keep searching the area for smoking craters until found.
These spots offer the largest variety of high-value resources and are essential for unlocking event achievements and new crafting recipes in the update.
