Character & item unlock levels

Updated Sep 11, 2026v1.0.1Reported1 min read

Unlock levels exist — the roster and the loadout screen both grow as you play — but the full table hasn't been documented anywhere yet. This page publishes the confirmed rows and grows as cards are read on screen. What's confirmed so far:

Confirmed unlocks

UnlockRequirementConfidence
Bob Sims (playable hero)Account level 40Verified (stat card read on screen)
Pocket Knife (starting item)Lynda level 10Reported
Flare Gun (starting item)Unlockable starter; level unknownReported

Two different systems are visible in that table: account-level unlocks (Bob at 40) and per-character level unlocks (Lynda's knife at her level 10). Assume other rows of both kinds exist — skins, execution animations, and abilities are all challenge- or progression-gated per the XP tracks guide.

What this means for your grind

  • New players: nothing here should change your first nights — the standard roster plays fine, and Jennifer and Laurie are available immediately.
  • The one deliberate grind worth doing early: Lynda to level 10. A permanent free grab-escape knife at spawn is the best account-wide upgrade we know of.
  • Level 40 is a haul — treat Bob as a milestone, not a target. His 9-Capability kit is worth reaching, not worth misery-grinding toward.
