FAQs
How Long Does It Typically Take to Unlock All Survivors?
Again the time it will take to unlock all the survivors depends on the individual's proficiency and how frequently he or she plays the game. These are survivors like MUL-T, with whom you can get acquainted in a few hours of passing through the game. Some may take as little as 20-30 hours for characters such as the Captain or Void Fiend, while others may take much longer. All base game survivors should be unlocked in 40-60 hours of playtime, with the vast majority of gamers being able to achieve this. As you know, they must like the game – unlocking survivors should flow rather than be a focus of the game.Are Some Survivors Easier to Unlock Than Others?
Yes, it is true; some survivors are easier to unlock than others. The easiest ones can be obtained simply via playing the game – MUL-T for completing 5 teleporter events, Engineer – completing 30 of them. Another complex unlock is Mercenary – if you manage to complete the Celestial Portal run; REX – you must carry delicate items across several stages to unlock this one. Hence, the challenge tends to be pegged on how influential or a complicated character the survivor is to the game.
Can I Unlock Survivors in Multiplayer Mode?
Yes, you can unlock most survivors while playing in multiplayer mode. Some unlocks might be easier with a team. For example, reaching the 3rd teleporter event without dying (to unlock Huntress) can be easier with friends watching your back. However, keep in mind that some achievements are tracked individually, so make sure you're the one performing the required action if you're aiming for a specific unlock.
