So if I *just* want this to Play as Deathstroke...

[A Lionlike Mane]

Watched the "Play as Deathstroke" trailer, and that's the first time I got interested in this game.

Just got a few questions.

#1. Do I need digital deluxe, or will the standard edition be enough for me to get to unlocking Deathstroke?

#2. About what kind of timesink am I looking at to unlock him (as opposed to paying for him)? I've looked into a few unlocking guides, but they don't really give me much of a grasp on how much I have to play the game before I can try unlocking him.

the deluxe is just some skins and 1 battle pass token, it has nothing to do with characters.

It takes a couple hours to unlock a character, because you can't access the mission until the episode level is level 30; you increase the episode level by doing the missions with orange arrows on them, or the 'killing time' mission.
The easiest way to get episode level 30 is to do killing time twice to about mastery 60 (this might be difficult if you don't have at least one max level character), and then do each of the orange arrow missions once.

Dont play this, its dead

I believe you also need to complete the campaign 1st to even get those missions to show up on your map.

It is never dead if you play it as single player game

From what I understand, this. Not only do the Missions not show, but you cannot even BUY the Character until you do.

You need to complete the campaign then grind for him. So it's a considerable time sink. But if you don't like the game play grind then you probably won't enjoy playing as Deathstroke

Just bought the game the other day, you can just do the season stuff instead and unlock him

Odd, your the first person to say you can Skip the Campaign and just go to Season Content. Every other Person has told me you HAVE to Finish it. Can anyone else Confirm this?

They've no idea what they're talking about.

You need to finish the campaign to unlock all the gadgets/abilities to even fight the encounters in the seasonal content. Special enemies that require specific gear which only comes from finishing parts of the campaign otherwise when you run into them you can't do anything to them. Even the prompt when selecting seasonal will tell you it's recommended to finish the story before attempting.

Okay, so while you technically can do so you would be seriously handicapped doing so. Thanks for the Reply. I wonder if you can get far enough to Pay to Unlock Characters .
