There are 25 characters in Battleborn. Not all of these heroes are available from the start – you’ll have to unlock most of them.
You can either get them by reaching a specific Command Rank, or by performing a certain task. This guide will show you
how to unlock characters in Battleborn, either through leveling up your command rank or performing tasks.
Battleborn Hero Unlocks
The alternative unlock options are there for people who don’t want to wait for their command rank to rise high enough. Instead of waiting to hit 34, you can play through the story missions and after Heliophage, you’ll get Melka.
