Back 4 Blood features eight characters, also known as Cleaners, for players to choose from. Each character has their own unique traits to aid in battle. However, at the start of the game, only four characters are unlocked: Evangelo, Walker, Holly, and Mom.

If you're wondering how to unlock the other four cleaners, you'll be happy to know that it's a pretty simple procedure. To do so, all you have to do is complete the first four missions of Act 1: The Devil's Return.

Be warned that to unlock the four Cleaners, you'll have to play the campaign in co-op. Doing a solo campaign will NOT unlock the other four characters.

The first four missions of Act 1: The Devil's Return include:

  • Resurgence
  • Tunnel of Blood
  • Pain Train
  • The Crossing
Click on the links above for a full walkthrough and strategy guide on how to complete each mission in The Devil's Return.

After completing the four missions, you will see a cutscene showcasing Doc, Hoffman, Jim, and Karlee in action. You will then gain access to all four Cleaners.

Head back to your hub and open the Character Select menu. You should now have all eight characters available and ready for play.
