Back 4 Blood combines Left 4 Dead's level mechanics with RPG elements, so each character has separate bonuses and starting gear. However, players start with only half of the game's eight-character roster unlocked. To get the other half, they need to progress in Back 4 Blood. For beginners, we have prepared a character guide on basic Back 4 Blood tips to make zombie killing as easy as possible, and shared the best perk and gear combination.

How Do You Unlock Back 4 Blood Characters?

You unlock the four extra Back 4 Blood characters by completing the first block of the game's first act. Back 4 Blood starts players with four characters: Evagelo, Walker, Holly and Mom. These characters are a good group to start with, and each comes with a set of perks. For example, Mom gives the whole team an extra life and can instantly revive a teammate once per level. Holly regenerates 10 stamina when she kills a zombie and gives the whole team 25 stamina. Each character is geared toward a certain build, but unlocking the last four gives a bit more flexibility.
Unlocking Back 4 Blood's four extra characters is easy. Players only have to progress through the first block of the game's first act. Specifically, in the Devil's Return act, these are the four levels starting with Resurgence and ending with The Crossing. After all four missions are completed, players can choose to play any of Back 4 Blood's other four characters. The abilities and starting equipment of these characters are:
