If you’re here, it’s probably because you’re staring at the character select screen wondering, "Where’s the Rogue? And why does the Warlock sound so cool?" Unlocking new classes in Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 isn’t rocket science, but it does take some exploring. Let’s break it down so you can stop wondering and start slashing, casting, or whatever else your new favorite class does.

Unlocking Classes: The Basics

Here’s the deal: unlocking classes in Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 requires you to find them in the wild. They’re not handed to you on a silver platter, because where’s the fun in that? As you progress through the game, keep your eyes peeled for NPCs in specific locations. Find them, chat them up, and voilà—they’ll unlock a new class for you.

Where to Find Each Unlockable Class

Here’s where you need to go to expand your roster:

Rogue – Found in dark caves. (Yes, caves are sketchy, but so is the Rogue. Fitting, right?)
Warlock – Lurking in a temple. Because where else would a shadowy damage-dealing caster be?
Sorcerer – Hiding in the Dark Citadel. Because apparently, Sorcerers love dramatic settings.

The key is to explore every nook and cranny of these maps. No stone unturned, no corner unexplored—you get the idea. Once you find these characters, they’ll unlock their respective classes for you.

How to Switch to Your New Class

After unlocking a class, head back to town:

Press Escape (or your platform’s equivalent menu button).
Select Switch Character.
Create a new character using your shiny new class.

Pro Tip: Switching characters doesn’t reset your town’s upgrades, so go wild experimenting with your new roster without worrying about losing progress.

All Playable Classes in Heroes of Hammerwatch 2

Here’s the full list of classes, along with their starting skills:

Specializations: The Cherry on Top

Once your character reaches Level 10 you’ll unlock a choice between three Specializations. Each adds a unique skill to your arsenal, letting you customize your playstyle even further. So go ahead—make that Warrior even tankier or turn your Rogue into an even bigger nightmare for enemies.

Final Blurb

Unlocking classes in Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 isn’t hard, but it does take a little patience and exploration. IT doesn’t matter if you’re sneaking around as a Rogue or unleashing elemental chaos as a Sorcerer, each class has something unique to offer.

So, get out there, explore those caves and citadels, and start building your dream team. And remember, when in doubt, look for the most ominous area on the map. Chances are, that’s where your next unlockable class is hiding.
