Characters & unlocks

Which character and weapon pairings have official support?

These examples come from developer reveals. Early reveals describe the game at the time of publication and are not a substitute for a complete launch-version character database.

What is actually known about unlocks?

The Steam achievement Theta-7 Acquisitus explicitly asks you to buy Balphamus Vaulk as a playable character from Balphamus Vaulk. High Abbess asks for every standard character. Several other achievements require completing a named stage’s rescue scenario.

Those descriptions support purchases, standard-character progression and rescue tasks being part of the game. They do not provide a complete rescue-to-character mapping. We avoid turning a suggestive achievement name into an unsourced unlock instruction.

Where is the Legend of Catachan?

In the launch-era Steam thread, UshankaShenk reports a position in the northeast of the first map. The reply does not provide a complete version-specific rescue walkthrough; treat it as a player lead, not a verified coordinate.

The official 11 November v2.1.6 hotfix corrects a rescued Legend of Catachan using Chainsword instead of Frag Grenade. That confirms a rescue-related issue existed. The announcement initially lists Steam and says the other platforms receive the changes later, so your platform matters.

Why does choosing a weapon bring another character?

A follower arriving with a weapon is a separate system from permanently unlocking a playable champion. The developer’s keyword system allows an ally to wield a weapon for your current character. Read the follower guide before assuming every ally appearance completes a rescue or unlock.
