Are you wondering how to expand your roster in 2XKO? Riot Games’ latest fighting game adopts a popular free-to-play model, much like League of Legends and Valorant. This means dedicated players have a fantastic opportunity to earn their way to unlocking all the champions available.
To get your hands on every 2XKO character, you’ll need to accumulate 2XKO Champion Tokens. This special currency grants you access to a new fighter. While these tokens can be bought with real money, you can also earn them through persistent gameplay and spend them in the in-game store using Credits. The good news is, you don’t need to spend a dime just to try out the fighters, as all of them are available in training and local multiplayer modes.
How to Unlock 2XKO Characters
There are several distinct paths to adding more champions to your 2XKO collection:
- Use 1 Champion Token
- Spend 1,000 KO Points
- Redeem 10,000 Credits
- Participate in a Recruitment Event (via the Battle Pass)
Champion Tokens
You’ll receive your first two Champion Tokens simply by completing the ‘First Steps’ missions and the initial ‘First Fight’ tutorial. This allows you to immediately begin building your dream team!
If you’re looking for more Champion Tokens beyond these initial two, you’ll typically need to purchase them as part of starter packs. For instance, the Standard Starter Edition usually includes four Champion Tokens, while the Deluxe Edition comes with eight. These bundles offer a direct way to expand your fighter selection quickly.
KO Points
KO Points serve as 2XKO’s premium currency and are acquired solely through real-money purchases. Each champion can be bought for 1,000 KO Points. You can also get bonus KO Points when you buy larger bundles, with the bonuses increasing at higher tiers. Beyond unlocking champions, this versatile currency can be used for purchasing legendary skins, costume color variations, and the Battle Pass.
Credits
Credits are the primary in-game currency earned through gameplay. You can accumulate them by completing various challenges, such as character-specific combo trials and general tutorials. Additionally, daily and weekly challenges task you with playing a certain number of matches each day or utilizing specific mechanics like supers or assists throughout the week.
Completing all challenges weekly can net you 2,750 Credits. Over a month, this can amount to 11,000 Credits, which is enough to purchase a new champion each season. Keep in mind, there’s a cap: once you hit 12,000 Credits, you won’t earn any more until you spend some, preventing you from hoarding large sums if you already own every champion.
Recruitment Event
The Battle Pass offers another exciting way to unlock champions using your Battle Pass XP. While this feature may not be active in initial seasons, it becomes a key method later on. A standard Battle Pass costs 1,000 KO Points, a Deluxe version (2,000 KO Points) immediately unlocks 10 Battle Pass levels, and an Ultra version (3,500 KO Points) often includes exclusive cosmetic items like an Arcane Chroma skin for Warwick.
During a ‘Recruitment Event,’ which usually lasts about three weeks, you’ll earn Battle Pass XP to unlock the latest seasonal character. Unlike the fixed weekly Credits, if you play frequently during these events, you can often unlock the new champion within the very first week.
Now you know all the ways to unlock the full roster of 2XKO characters. As you consider which champion to add to your team next, remember to consult current tier lists to see which fighters are currently dominating the online multiplayer scene.
