Back 4 Blood comes with an amazing cast of characters that you can all control eventually. At the beginning of the game, only four of them are going to be available. Luckily, unlocking the characters in the game is free and easy. All you really need to do is proceed with the story and all 8 characters will be prepared to use for you.
Like in Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood comes with a cast of characters that you can use to mow the zombie hoards down. However, what’s different is that each character will come with a different starting weapon and their own unique cards as well. As such, unlocking all of these characters is important if you want to experience the game at its very best.
Unlocking The Cleaners
The characters in Back 4 Blood are called The Cleaners. The starting four characters are Evangelo, Walker, Holly, and Mom. They’re all good on their own already but of course, it would be fun to try out the rest of The Cleaners given that they have their own unique cards as well. Unlocking the rest of the characters happens early on in the game.
After finishing The Devil’s Return during the first act in Back 4 Blood, you’ll come face to face with the rest of the cleaners, Doc, Hoffman, Karlee, and Jim. To unlock the rest of them, all you need to do is to complete the level and that’s it. However, there are a few things you need to be mindful of when trying to unlock the characters.
While playing the first act of Back 4 Blood, you’ll be given the choice to play the game solo. However, the game will not tell you that playing solo will disable in-game achievements called Accomplishments. You can only unlock the rest of The Cleaners if you are able to unlock the Paid the Toll accomplishment which happens once you beat The Devil’s Return.
Basically, all you need to do to unlock all of the characters is to complete the first act with some other players. If you’ve passed by the level already, you can simply redo the mission, watch the cutscene, and Doc and the gang are going to be a part of your roster.
It seems like Turtle Rock Studios is planning on releasing more characters and acts in the future. Hopefully, we get more fun and exciting characters to play with soon.
