Mortal Kombat 1 Guide: From Kameo Fighters to Character Accessories, Here’s a Beginner’s Guide to Unlock In-Game Contents

NetherRealm Studios‘ upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 has finally released today. From new kameo fighters to a star-studded cast, Mortal Kombat 1 has surely blown away fans’ minds with its gameplay trailer already. And now that it is finally released, people are all over the game. While Mortal Kombat 1 offers some delicious content, not all of them are available for free. Players can level up their characters or complete as many game quests as possible to earn experience points for Mortal Kombat 1’s contents.

Although fans can know about some of them as they proceed with the gameplay, some content might be still hidden. However, getting some exclusive tips could help. So, why delay? Let’s delve into the details about unlocking some great in-game contents of Mortal Kombat 1.

Beginner’s guide to unlock the contents of Mortal Kombat 1

Kameo Fighters

NetherRealm received a lot of spotlights after announcing Kameo fighters in Mortal Kombat 1. This new feature introduces separate characters from the Mortal Kombat series’ main roster of characters. These Kameo fighters help to finish the battle as a secondary substitute. Developers have given five exclusive cameo characters. They are Shujinko, Scorpion, Motaro, Kung-Lao and Sub-Zero.

However, these secondary fighters will not be available ready for access. Therefore, players need to upgrade to level 25 to unlock them all. Players can unlock them after every 5 levels.

Kung Lao -Level 5
Sub-Zero -Level 10
Scorpion -Level 15
Shujinko – Level 20
Motaro -Level 25

The game’s Invasion Mode offers a much faster way to earn XPs. This mode will help to unlock the Kameo fighters. Additionally, more fatalities in this mode will bring more XPs. Kameo fighters will also speed up the fight. Now a tip for newcomers could be to focus on the offense status so that they can efficiently clear Invasion Mode.

Unlocking Shang Tsung and Havik

While players have to earn more XPs to unlock Kameo fighters, Shang Tsung Will be only accessed by those, who purchased the game’s premium edition. Fans who pre-ordered it might also get Shang Tsung with their game. However, another character Havik can be unlocked as a reward for players. To earn this reward, Mortal Kombat 1’s story mode needs to be finished. Since Mortal Kombat 1 will offer an exclusive story mode following individual characters as protagonists, unlocking Havik will not be much of a hassle for players.

Character pallets and skins

Now that fans know about the star-studded cast of Mortal Kombat 1, it will be really fun to accessorize these characters in personal ways. Although it is a fighting game, the ability to change character costumes and pallets by adding more accessories is definitely a fun thing about Mortal Kombat 1. However, many cosmetics or gears might not be available without unlocking them. Players can choose to buy them from seasonal stores by using seasonal in-game currency or basic coins. However, players can buy accessories from the main menu to unlock whatever is available. Additionally, if players successfully complete combo challenges and tutorials, then they can earn coins to unlock more character costumes or gears. Mortal Kombat 1’s Invasion Mode can be a great way to get unbelievable experience points, which can help players unlock the character pallets in future.

Now that players know about unlocking the contents of Mortal Kombat 1, think about what if the legendary John Wick could be another Mortal Kombat 1 character? Following Keanu Reeves’ prowess for action and killer personality, fans already think of John Wick as Mortal Kombat 1’s true champion in a parallel universe. 

If John Wick made its way to MK1, unlocking all these would have been as easy as ABC

Following Mortal Kombat 1’s release fans are over the moon with its star-studded cast. From Megan Fox’s Nitara to iconic Johnny Cage, this title is going to be an adrenaline rush. However, fans think that if famous fictional protagonist John Wick had made his way to Mortal Kombat 1 as a fighter, he would have unlocked everything like a pro. And with John Wick’s combat style, including his marvelous hand combat skills, he would have been an ideal Mortal Kombat 1 candidate.

With an additional touch of martial arts, John Wick could take down more enemies in incredible ways. Now one can imagine the hefty load of XP they could earn with John Wick’s efficiency.

However, in NetherRealm’s Mortal Kombat title, John Wick is not available as a character. However, he sure has potential for the franchise’s future consideration. Therefore, those who are heartbroken reading that it is all a fantasy, do not worry. Players still get Homelander, Omni-Man and Peacemaker.

NetherRealm’s Mortal Kombat 1 was released today on PlayStation, PC, Xbox and Switch. Hopefully, these tips help.
