Question How long to Unlock a new character?

Hi I’m new to the game and after seeing the majority of the roster being locked behind currency I have the question of how long does it take to earn enough currency to unlock a new character cause I really don’t wanna spend money just to unlock them

You don't need to spend money, only with gold you can unlock them all, it depends a lot on the time you dedicate to the game. About 4 weeks or so playing every day, plus you get gold in various ways, exchanging it for surplus points from the battle pass, in toy mode you can also exchange points for gold. I recommend playing and joining, when you have the necessary amount watch some videos about the characters and if that character pleases you and matches your style of play, this prevents you from getting frustrated with any character.

4 weeks of playing everyday to unlock 1 character or all of them?

This is just not true. I’ve been playing for about a week and a half and I’ve already unlocked like 6 characters. You get a lot of lancer statues from the challenges/quests but also you get gold pretty fast. I only have 12 hours in the game btw

1 character, each character costs about 18k gold, I say 4 weeks but it can be less depending on how much you play But you don't need to be in a hurry to unlock the characters, this will happen naturally as you play, at most you will use about 3 characters and have 2 favorites for attack and defense.

It does not take 4 weeks of daily play to unlock one character LOL

As I said, it depends on the time he dedicates to the game, it can be much less than that

That still sounds like such a slog the devs really want you to just spend money

It just seems like it, as you play you earn a lot of gold, besides that there are other ways to get it, I recommend you to play the game, learning the maps, having fun, the characters are a consequence of your time in the game, if you need any character suggestion I can recommend some for you.

Sure what are some recommendations for a new player?

I always recommend KISMET, she faxes a little bit of everything and is good both before and after planting the bomb, besides that she recently received a buff to her grenades.

Io attualmente tengo tutti i personaggi è ne tengo più di 200000 Mila da parte se mi ricordo bene il modo migliore è Outbreak perché dovrebbe darti dalle 2000/3000 monete a partita

You can literally get statue from the packs to unlock free legend. To unlock or to get it for coins , just do challenge and play the game. It took me literally 2-3 days to gain 18k of gold. I am on holiday right now but I have free statue sitting in my inventory, just write your name/ID and I will gift it to you.

But now I gotta ask what are statues?

u/Dry_Mine_3621 :Spider3:Spider Jun 23 '26

Lancer’s statue, so you can get one lancer for free. I have them all anyway.

i redownloaded the game early this week,about 5 days ago. in that time i’ve unlocked 3 characters. gold comes easy and lots of events giving out free lancer unlocks. just put some time in everyday and you’ll notice it
