If you’ve seen players in 99 Nights in the Forest talking about the mysterious Deer Plushie DLC, you’re not alone. This limited-edition collectible has become one of the most sought-after items in the game — not just because it’s adorable, but because it offers real in-game advantages. The plush isn’t your average toy; it comes with an exclusive DLC code that unlocks the powerful Deer Buddy, a campfire companion that boosts your team’s healing rate during runs. Whether you’re a collector hunting for rare Roblox merch or a survivor looking to gain every possible advantage, understanding how to get the Deer Plushie DLC (and redeem it correctly) is a must.

What Is the Deer Plushie DLC
- The Deer Plushie is a physical plush toy (14″) made by PhatMojo.
- The plush comes with a redeemable DLC code that grants in-game rewards in 99 Nights in the Forest on Roblox.
- The in-game version is called the Deer Buddy.
- When placed, it gives a healing bonus around campfires: base +10% healing when near campfire with one Deer Buddy.
- You can stack the effect: more plushies (or more buddies on the shelf) = more healing. According to Deltia’s Gaming:
- 1 Deer Buddy = +10% healing
- 2 = +21%
- 3 = +34%
- 4 = +50%
- 5 = +75%
- Note: each player only gets one Deer Buddy if they have the DLC. To get more benefit, you need to play with others who also have it.
How to Get It (Purchase / Activate)
There are two main routes to obtain and activate the DLC:
- Buy via Official Website
- The plush is sold on the official 99 Nights merchandise site.
- When you purchase from the website, they email you a DLC code.
- After receiving the code by email, you redeem in-game (explained below).
- Buy In-Game (Roblox)
- For US players (excluding Texas) aged 13+: you can buy the plush inside the game lobby.
- If bought in-game, some reports say the DLC is auto-activated on your Roblox account.
- According to Deltia’s Gaming: if you bought in-game but didn’t get the code via email, the activation should still happen automatically on your profile.
- But some players on Reddit report issues: “I join the game … it’s not showing anything. No in game deer plushie, no merch in game, nothing.”
- Others say: “I found it, it was already loaded into my account … I started a game and it was in my sack … increases the campfire healing speed.”
How to Redeem the DLC in Game
Once you have the DLC code (or if it’s auto-activated), here’s how to get the in-game Deer Buddy and use it effectively:
- Redeem the Code
- Open 99 Nights in the Forest on Roblox.
- In the lobby, click on the Gems icon (bottom-left).
- Then press the Codes button on the right. Make sure the “Merch” option is selected/ticked.
- Enter your DLC code exactly as you got it and submit.
- Get the Deer Buddy in Runs
- After redeeming, when you play runs, you can obtain the Deer Buddy in the game. According to the guide, you need to deposit 5 wood into the Crafting Bench’s grinder (i.e., drop 5 wood to get the Deer Buddy).
- Once you have the Deer Buddy item, you can place it in your camp on a Toy Shelf.
- Craft the Toy Shelf
- To place the Deer Buddy, you need a Toy Shelf.
- Toy Shelf recipe: 15 logs (wood) are needed.
- So gather 15 wood, go to Crafting Table → make Toy Shelf → place it somewhere in your camp.
- Place the Deer Buddy
- Once the shelf is placed, pick the Deer Buddy from your inventory and put it on the Toy Shelf.
- The healing bonus applies when you’re near the campfire.
- More Deer Buddies on the shelf (up to 5) = higher healing buff.
Known Issues / Caveats
- Limited Stock: The plush drop was very limited. According to reports, it sold out quickly.
- Redemption Delays / Confusion: Some players say they didn’t get their DLC item even after purchase.
- Stacking Requires More Players: Since each player only gets one Deer Buddy, to maximize healing buff, you need to play with others who also have plushies.
- Secondary Market Risk: Because the plush is limited, resale / secondary market may inflate prices. (This is common with limited merch.)
- PhatMojo Authenticity: To ensure you get a genuine product + valid code, buy from official sources (99 Nights merch site or verified retailers).
Why It’s Valuable
- The in-game Deer Buddy gives a useful gameplay buff (healing) — not just cosmetic.
- It’s a collectible physical plush + digital DLC combo, which is quite attractive for fans of the game.
- The stacking mechanism means more strategic play: if your friends also have plushies, you can all benefit more.
