Vampire Survivors: How To Unlock Every Character

Vampire Survivors features a large cast of vampire hunters unlockable by players who meet certain requirements and have their pockets full of enough coins to be able to afford them. Each character has their own advantages and disadvantages based on their starting weapons and passive abilities that can help the player create builds depending on their individual playstyle to annihilate the hordes of monsters that they’ll be combating in each run of the game.

When the player starts Vampire Survivors for the first time, they’re required to play as Antonio; however, they’ll quickly learn that new, better characters are unlockable between runs which open the doors for seemingly endless possible combat options. Here’s the catch: most characters have hidden requirements that the player needs to meet before they’re available for purchase with Vampire Survivors‘ in-game currency.

Most players will be able to unlock all of the characters just by playing the game for a few hours, but those looking to unlock them as soon as possible after starting for the first time should take a more calculated approach. Meet the requirements listed below to unlock every character in Vampire Survivors including the secret character Exdash.
