If you're wondering how can you unlock all the Kameos in Mortal Kombat 1, then look no further. Mortal Kombat 1 features a roster of 30 playable characters, each with their own unique abilities, fatalities, and brutalities.
However, there are also some hidden characters that can be unlocked by levelling up your profile. These are called Kameo fighters, and they are based on characters from previous Mortal Kombat games or spin-offs. Here's how you can unlock every Kameo in the game.
What are Kameos in Mortal Kombat 1?
Kameo fighters are special characters that players can select in the character selection screen. Although they are not part of the main cast of fighters, but they can join them in some battles as allies.
Kameo fighters allow fights to be more diverse and give players ways to expand their fighting possibilities. Players can select a Kameo Fighter from a secondary roster following their main character selection.
How to unlock Havik and other Kameos
To unlock Kameos in Mortal Kombat 1, you will need to level up your profile by playing various modes in the game. Each mode will reward you with experience points (XP) that will increase your level. The higher your level, the more Kameos you will unlock. You can check your progress in the Profile menu, where you can also see your stats, achievements, and rewards.
