Chop A Forest Badges and Speedrun Times

Chop A Forest has 13 badges as of October 17, 2026, and they double as the game's only official speedrun ladder. Clearing a whole forest under three hours earns Speedrunner, under two hours earns Speed Demon, and under 90 minutes earns Timber Tornado. The rarest badge on the list is Legendary Logger, held by just 306 players.

• 13 badges, five of them speed or completion badges — the rest track felling milestones and tool purchases.
• The speedrun tiers are 3 hours, 2 hours and 90 minutes — pulled straight from official badge conditions, not from community timing runs.
• Timber Tornado has 21,633 owners — the 90 minute tier is reachable, which tells you a full clear is not a marathon task.
• Legendary Logger has 306 owners — cutting 10,000 trees is a genuinely rare target.
• Forest Cleared has 133,571 owners — proof that finishing a forest ends the run and pays out.

All 13 Chop A Forest Badges

Every row below comes from the game's official badge list, including the owner counts, which were read on October 17, 2026 and only move upward from there.

Four of the thirteen are purchase badges, which makes the tool list readable from the badge data alone. Sharp Start at 3,041,681 owners is comfortably the highest of the purchase badges, which lines up with the Axe being the very first thing every player buys at 150 Coins. Chainsaw Wielder is the lowest at 268,717, matching the fact that the Chainsaw costs 7,500 Coins and only shows up in the Pine Wood Area Shop.

Official source: Chop A Forest on Roblox — every badge name, unlock condition and owner count in this guide comes from the game's official badge list, which is also the only official evidence that the 3 hour, 2 hour and 90 minute tiers are fixed definitions.

How Rare Each Chop A Forest Badge Really Is

Badge counts are the hardest progression data this game gives out, because nothing else publishes how far the average player gets.

Welcome to the Forest at 4,291,248 is effectively the size of the player base. Against that baseline, the drop-off is steep and honest. About 70 percent of everyone who ever loaded the game went on to buy the Axe and take Sharp Start. Roughly the same share reached Timber! for 10 trees. Only one in four reached Lumberjack, at 100 trees. Forest Feller, for 1,000 trees, sits at 99,241, and Legendary Logger, at 10,000 trees, is down to 306. That last number is the headline: the gap between 1,000 trees and 10,000 trees is a factor of over 300 in player count, so the ten-thousand mark is not a grind most players finish.

The purchase badges track Coins the same way. Clean Sweep, the Log Vacuum at 1,000 Coins, has 1,477,161 owners, while Demolition Expert, Dynamite at 2,500 Coins, drops to 353,479.

The Three Speedrun Tiers Explained

The badge list settles an argument that comes up constantly in this game: whether speedrunning has any official definition. It does, and the thresholds are exact.

• Speedrunner — clear a forest in under 3 hours. 117,048 players.
• Speed Demon — clear a forest in under 2 hours. 65,338 players.
• Timber Tornado — clear a forest in under 90 minutes. 21,633 players.

Read the three numbers together and the structure is clear. Of the 133,571 players who cleared a forest at all, 117,048 did it inside three hours, so most clears are not slow grinds. The count then halves at each tier, yet 21,633 still cleared inside 90 minutes, which makes the top tier a realistic goal rather than a leaderboard trophy.

Why Forest Cleared Is the Badge That Matters Most

Forest Cleared, at 133,571 owners, is the badge that confirms how a run ends: you clear an entire forest and cash out. Sportskeeda's beginner write-up puts it plainly, stating that once you completely cut a forest down you earn Gems. So this badge is not just a record of effort, it marks the moment the run pays you. The gems and perks guide walks through the four Gem sources, and finishing a forest is one of them.

The practical consequence: if you push a forest to completion you get paid in Gems no matter how long it took, and those Gems buy permanent perks or a class. The three speedrun badges are layers on top of that payout, not a separate economy. Our money guide covers how Coins turn into tools during a run.

How to Speed Up Your Clear Times

The fastest run is not the one with the strongest axe. It is the one with the fewest wasted trips, and almost every speedrun tip for this game comes back to hauling.

• Raise carry capacity before anything else. You can only sell what you can hold, so the Backpack at 175 Coins is the first real upgrade, and the Bigger Bundle perk adds a permanent extra slot for 30 Gems.
• Sell where you are cutting. Each zone has its own shop and its own wood chipper, so once you are past the starting area you should sell on site instead of walking logs back to spawn.
• Buy tools that remove trips, not just ones that cut faster. The Log Vacuum at 1,000 Coins hoovers up drops automatically, and a vehicle raises your carry limit far more than any backpack does.
• Skip the upgrades that do not pay early. Pro Game Guides sums up the beginner priority with the line to skip Hands and Dynamite upgrades early, and to spend Coin on the Axe at 150 and the Backpack at 175 first.
• Do not restart a run to save time. The storefront states plainly that SOLO & FRIEND RUNS SAVE, so a half-cleared forest is not lost progress.

Our vehicles guide compares all ten options by price, speed and carry, which is the single largest lever on how many trips a run takes. The tools and upgrades guide covers the upgrade panel and the node counts behind axe speed and chipper speed.

Do Chop A Forest Badges Give Rewards?

No reward is attached to any of the 13 badges in the official list. Each entry records a condition and an owner count and nothing more, so treat the badges as permanent records of progress rather than unlockables that pay out items or currency. If that ever changes, the announcement would come through the official WCT Capital group rather than from the badge list itself.

The one badge that lines up with a payout is Forest Cleared, and that is because clearing a forest pays Gems on its own, not because the badge is a reward. So grinding badges purely for a bonus has nothing to pay out.

FAQ

How many badges does Chop A Forest have?

Thirteen, as of October 17, 2026. They split into felling milestones, tool purchases and three speedrun tiers.

What is the fastest Chop A Forest clear time?

The game's own badge tiers are the only fixed benchmarks: under three hours, under two hours and under 90 minutes. The tightest official tier is Timber Tornado at 90 minutes, which 21,633 players have earned.

How do I get the Legendary Logger badge?

Cut down 10,000 trees. Only 306 players have it, so it is the rarest badge in the game by a wide margin.

Do Chop A Forest badges give rewards?

No. The official badge list records conditions and owner counts only, with no reward listed against any of the 13. Forest Cleared coincides with a Gem payout, but that payout comes from finishing the forest, not from the badge.

How do I get faster at a Chop A Forest run?

Fix your carry capacity first, then your travel time. Buy the Axe at 150 Coins and the Backpack at 175, add the Log Vacuum at 1,000 to collect drops, and use a vehicle to cut trips. Sell at the wood chipper in the zone where you are cutting instead of walking back, and do not restart runs, because solo and friend runs save.
