Back 4 Blood: How to Unlock All Characters

Developed by Turtle Rock, Back 4 Blood is essentially a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead in all but name. You can team up with up to three other players to blast through a campaign on different levels of difficulty, raking in Supply Points to unlock upgrades so that you shoot zombies even more efficiently. Just like L4D, there are also a variety of characters you can play as, and they all come with their own unique perks. Here’s how to unlock all characters in Back 4 Blood.

Unlocking All Characters in Back 4 Blood

At the start of the game, you’ll only be able to pick between Evangelo, Walker, Holly, and Mom. However, there are four other characters available, and you can unlock them pretty quickly too.

All you have to do is play through the first four levels in online mode, and once you clear the level titled The Crossing, you’ll see a cutscene where all the survivors have gathered at Fort Hope. From that point on, you’ll be able to play as any of them in future runs.
