Back 4 Blood brings outstanding level mechanics combined with RPG elements to the table, and each character or in this regard a Cleaner has its bonuses and starting gear.
However, players only start with half of the game’s eight character cast unlocked, and getting the other half to unlock won’t take much time as it requires making just a bit of progress through Back 4 Blood’s campaign mode.
Back 4 Blood is currently available on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5, as well as Xbox Game Pass. The four characters who are unclocked in the beginning are Evagelo, Walker, Holly, and Mom. They’re a good bunch to start with, and each of them has its unique set of perks.
Mom can give the entire team one extra life and can instantly revive a teammate once per level, on the other hand, Holly can recover 10 stamina when she kills a zombie and gives the entire team 25 more stamina.
The four new Cleaners players will unlock are Doc, Hoffman, Jim, and Karlee, all of whom are viable at some point during the game.
