Tools, Equipment Upgrades & Classes
Upgrade from bare hands to the high-efficiency Rake, Leaf Blower, and endgame Vacuum. Learn which classes are best for farming cash and speedrunning.
How to Get the Rake in Find The Needle
To get the Rake in Find The Needle, gather hay by hand and sell it to the Cow cart until you accumulate the purchase price (approx. $150–$250 in-game cash). Then, walk over to the Tool Shop shed near the barn, interact with the tool rack, purchase the Rake, and select it from your inventory hotbar (press [1] or tap the hotbar icon) to equip it.
How to Get the Leaf Blower in Find The Needle
The Leaf Blower is purchased from the advanced tool shop for in-game cash earned from clearing hay or completing Chapter 1. Once bought, equip the Leaf Blower from your inventory into an active hotbar slot and hold down the primary action button to direct a high-pressure air stream that displaces dozens of hay flakes per second without having to carry them to the sell cart.
How to Get the Vacuum in Find The Needle
The Vacuum is the highest-tier harvesting tool in Find The Needle, unlocked in the late-game tool shop. It continuously sucks in all surrounding hay flakes in a wide radius and automatically compresses them into your bag. Upgrading the Vacuum increases its suction speed, range, and flake multiplier, making it the most powerful tool for farming cash and clearing Chapter 2 basement hay.
Find The Needle Classes: Best Class & Unlock Guide
Classes in Find The Needle are permanent character archetypes unlocked using Gems in the main lobby. The undisputed best class for both solo play and speedrunning is the Demolitionist, which gives explosive blast radius buffs and reduced bomb cooldowns. Other classes include Harvester (bonus hay collection speed) and Scout/Speedster (enhanced walkspeed and jump height).
