How do I unlock the last character?
Ranger is the ninth Survivor added with 1.0, and her unlock is tied to account progression rather than a secret mission.
Quick Answer
Reach Survival Level 175. The official 1.0 changelog names Ranger as the ninth Survivor and states that she unlocks at Survival Level 175. You do not need to clear Bio Lab, finish her Camp missions, or find a hidden character slot first.
Steps
- Open the general progression screen and check your current Survival Level.
- Complete runs and collect Cash; the progression rework saves Cash between runs and moves the overall Survival Level forward.
- Reach Survival Level 175, then return to the Survivor selection screen to use Ranger.
Requirements / Limits
- The requirement is Survival Level 175 in version 1.0.
- Ranger is the ninth current Survivor, so old six-, seven-, or eight-character guides are incomplete.
- The 1.0.0b hotfix checked after release does not replace this unlock rule.
Common Mistakes
- Treating the final silhouette as unreleased content. That was true in older Early Access posts, not in 1.0.
- Grinding one specific arena. The published requirement is a profile level, not a named map clear.
- Looking for a Ranger story mission before she is unlocked. Survivor missions are a separate Camp system.
