All 20 Survivors

How the roster grew

Each expansion added a small, deliberate batch of survivors rather than a wave of them, which is why the newest characters tend to have sharper, more specific kits.

What patch 1.21 changed for the roster

The free half of the Hallowed Concepts release did not only add two new characters. It also handed a brand-new skill to six of the original survivors, each with its own unlock condition, which means a character you have played for years may have an option you have never seen.

• Commando

  Sabotage (Special)

• Huntress

  Laser Cyclone (Secondary)

• Engineer

  Laser Cutter (Primary)

• Artificer

  Tectonic Blast (Utility)

• REX

  Proliferation (Utility)

• Acrid

  Cloying Breath (Special)

The same release shipped a new skin for sixteen survivors — 16 of the 20 on the roster. The four characters left out are the ones added by expansions that came after the survivors the skins were built for, which is why the two newest pairs are the ones you will not find in that set.

What each profile holds

Every survivor page leads with the same three things: where the character came from, how they are unlocked, and a skill loadout table listing each skill's slot, cooldown, proc coefficient, and whether it is a default or an alternate that has to be unlocked. The challenges tied to that survivor are listed underneath.

The proc coefficient column is the part most guides skip, and it is the one that matters when you are deciding which item effects your kit will actually trigger. Slots and cooldowns tell you the rhythm of a character; the proc number tells you how well that character converts a build into damage.
