In this guide, we will go through all the prerequisites needed to unlock every hero in Gunfire Reborn. There are currently 12 Heroes, 6 of which are only available for purchase through DLC. Each DLC unlocks two Characters for use as well as some additional weapons/upgrades.
How to get Heroes in Gunfire Reborn
The Heroes menu can be found in the Main menu, before choosing a lobby (the first menu you see when you open the game), and it is the 5th option down.
Optionally, you can choose to select a DLC immediately by hovering over the Icey Scroll for the Realm of Frost and Inkwash DLC, the Yellow Pot on the top shelf for Visitors of the Spirit Realm, or the Chicken for the Artisan and Magician DLC.
Free Heroes (Non-DLC)
Those Heroes can be unlocked by saving up / spending currencies earned in-game. Talent points levels are gained by spending Soul Essences, which are obtained through regular gameplay.
A key reason players select a Hero is their abilities, which help in deciding which hero to aim for.
