How to Unlock All Characters in Mortal Kombat 1

TL;DR In Mortal Kombat 1, characters are primarily unlocked through purchasing DLC packs. Unlike previous games, there is no extensive list of unlockable characters via gameplay.

Unlocking Characters Through Gameplay

In Mortal Kombat 11, Frost was the only character that could be unlocked by completing the story mode [1:1], [2:1]. This approach seems consistent with Mortal Kombat 1, where most characters are not unlockable through gameplay but rather through DLC purchases. The trend in recent Mortal Kombat games has been to offer limited unlockable characters through traditional gameplay methods.

DLC and Purchases

Most characters in Mortal Kombat 1 require purchasing DLC packs. This includes popular characters such as Spawn, Joker, and Shao Kahn [2:1], [3:1]. Players often need to buy these characters with real money, as they are not available through standard gameplay progression [1:10], [2:3].

Common Issues with Character Packs

Players have reported issues even after purchasing character packs, where certain characters still do not appear in the game [3:1]. Ensuring that the DLC is properly installed can resolve these issues [3:3]. It's important to verify the installation process if characters remain locked despite owning the necessary DLC.

Recommendation for New Players

For new players excited about Mortal Kombat 1, it's recommended to keep an eye out for sales on DLC packs [1:8]. These sales can provide a more affordable way to access additional characters without paying full price. Additionally, engaging with the community can provide insights into upcoming deals or tips on maximizing your experience with the base game content.

She's easily one of, if not the weakest (as in worst/lamest) boss in MK history. I probably wouldn't bother paying for her.

Frost is the only character that was made to be unlocked. The rest are dlc but honestly if you aren't to worried wait for a sale it goes for really cheap.

How do I unlock every character In Mortal Kombat X?

Posted by Proper-Run1420 · in r/MortalKombat · 2 years ago

I bought a pack that let's me have all the characters but I can't get the last four characters for some reason.

At first I thought I had to play more with just like the other characters but I still don't seem to get them anytime soon.

What should I do In order to obtain all the characters?

Yeah, you're right, It was DLC. The missing characters are alien, leatherface, bo'rai'cho, and triborg. And the strange thing Is: We downloaded them all, so I don't get the reason why they haven't come yet In the game.

First time playing Mortal Kombat 1 and I'm very excited!

Posted by More-Bug-3683 · in r/MortalKombat · 9 months ago

I'm a long-time fan of the franchise but I only managed to buy the game now, since it was released I've taken as few spoilers as possible for the entire game, I've only seen some details and part of the ending because of the new dlc. But in short, everything is new to me and I couldn't be more excited!

So, the only way that you can get them is separately in the Canadian store?

They didn't have bundles like KP1, Aftermath, KP2 or the Ultimate Edition / bundle?

Trial will give you 1 MK1 diamond (Mileena, Kenshi, Scorpion or Shang) for every 60 DK summon packs opened (character, equipment and kameo packs all count). So you will max these 4 eventually.

Deluxe version does not give you any extra characters. You can access to all characters besides Goldlewis, jack-o, happy chaos, and Baiken in the base game.

They are sold separately but the deluxe edition or the season pass comes out cheaper than buying individually (deluxe edition is literally just the game + season pass).

How to unlock all characters in mortal kombat 1

Unlocking All Characters in Mortal Kombat 1: Key Considerations

  1. Default Characters: Initially, you have access to a limited roster. The base characters typically include Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, and Raiden.

  2. Unlocking Additional Characters:

    • Complete the Game: Finish the game's story mode or arcade mode to unlock characters like Shang Tsung and others.
    • Perform Specific Actions: Some characters may require specific actions or achievements, such as winning a certain number of matches or completing challenges.
  3. Cheat Codes: Depending on the platform, there may be cheat codes available that can unlock characters instantly. Check the specific codes for your console.

  4. Game Updates: Ensure your game is updated to the latest version, as patches may add new characters or change unlock methods.

Recommendation: Focus on completing the game modes and challenges to unlock characters naturally. This not only enhances your gameplay experience but also helps you familiarize yourself with each character's abilities and fighting styles. If you're looking for a quicker way, search for specific cheat codes related to your platform.
