Exit the Gungeon has seven playable characters: four main and three hidden, unlockable. The game is not as extensive as Enter the Dungeon and unlocking them is not as extensive. In some ways, that's a good thing, as Game XNUMX was known for its difficulty.
When unlocking characters Exit the Gungeon is not as detailed as in Enter the Dungeon, players have to escape a crumbling dungeon this time around. Since the game is smaller, probably thanks to its debut on Apple Arcade, the process of unlocking characters is streamlined. Here's how to unlock each character.
The four main characters:
The game begins with the four main characters unlocked. Players are free to switch between themselves before attempting to leave the Gungeon. The four main characters are:
- The convict
- The hunter
- Marine
- The pilot
There are three hidden characters to unlock: the Bullet, the Cultist, and the Robot. These are present in the original game, but instead of transporting items to a specific location in the Gungeon, it's a straightforward process.
How to unlock the ball:
The Bullet is the easiest to unlock. It can be unlocked by successfully exiting the dungeon with any character. You'll need the chip to help you access later characters, so it makes sense that it unlocks sooner. For a more in-depth look, check out our guide on unlocking the Bullet.
How to unlock the Cultist:
The Cultist is more difficult to obtain. Players must leave the Gungeon with all four characters. Unlike the bullet, which unlocks with the first success, the cultist needs all four main characters to successfully escape the crumbling dungeon.
How to unlock the robot:
The Robot is the last character to unlock. Previous Reddit threads and wiki comments suggest that depending on how players go through the unlocking process, the Robot may unlock at the same time as the Cultist. The robot is obtained by beating the game with the four main characters and the ball.
Good luck escaping the collapse paradox and dodging your way through the bullets. It's a mad rush, and to get all the characters, this is the one you'll need to take multiple times.
