Last Stop Anomaly difficulty tiers
Not a PvP meta. A ranking of how easy a tell is to miss at walking speed.
Last Stop has no units to pull and no weapons to rank. The tier list that actually helps is how obvious an anomaly is when you are tired at Cart 11. S-tier here means “hard to miss if you glance at all.” D-tier means “you will walk past this unless you have a method.” Split pages: easy anomalies and hard anomalies. Use them with the checklist and the spotting guide.
Ranking criteria
- S — Billboard: soccer ball, fire, slenderman in the aisle, heaven door, everyone dead.
- A — One glance: McDonald’s shirt, green seats, open electrical box, green soda, camera LED.
- B — Need the scan: poster text swaps, arrow recolor, bag color, blonde hair, tilted safe-ride sign.
- C — Need the reverse camera: YOU WILL DIE on the back of a sign, mirrored aisle, missing handlebars.
- D — Audio or timing: whisper, PA announcer, choir, pounding, phone call change, cart number flicker.
These grades assume default lighting and headphones. Fullbright inflates darkness-based S-tier into invisibility. The scanner inflates some B-tier into A-tier in Normal only.
How to use the list in a run
Do not walk with this page open in Speedrun. Memorize S and A before you queue. Keep B and C for Normal. Drill D in Infinite with sound. That matches the session plan on the guides hub.
When a new prop appears after a patch, it starts at B until the community agrees it is loud. Check patch notes before you trust an old S-tier snapshot of Cart 20.
Easy versus hard children
- Easy anomalies — S and A with examples you should never miss twice.
- Hard anomalies — B through D, including door labels and audio.
NPC defaults that those tells modify are on cart NPCs. Chasing variants are on entities.
What this list is not
It is not a “best starter character” page. Last Stop does not let you pick a class. It is not a trading value list. There is no economy. Codes do not reroll tiers. If you want mechanical help, stay in guides or scripts after script safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for Cart 20, Cart 0, and the speedrun clock.
Is this a PvP tier list?
No. Last Stop is single-player. Tiers measure how easy a tell is to miss, not win rate versus other players.
Will the scanner change tiers?
In Normal it can bump some B tells up. It does not exist in Speedrun. See anomaly scanner.
Do badges require S-tier only?
No. You Won needs twenty correct calls of any mix. 50 Anomalies Spotted needs cataloguing, including D-tier audio. See badges.
