how hard is it to unlock the new characters?

[Dweller Beyond the Threshold]

Haven't played the game since the last patch. Just curious how hard is it to unlock the two new ones, i.e. whether there's a lot of grinding involved for their cards.

Unless I'm missing something, for some reason I only see an Extreme quest to farm the materials. So not hard in terms of difficulty, but you need to do at worst 90 times the same extreme quest for 1 character. So I'm not sure what the designer smoked to come up with this brain dead idea. I don't see a maniac/proud quest that gives more mats, so the developers want you to use CE it seems.

if you can kill behemoth then it easy

Behemoth as a fight is quite rough. For comparison's sake, the amount of AOE's you've gotta worry about is fairly similar to the Managarmr fight when its bloodlusted. One of the two isn't guaranteed after one run or two; unless you're lucky. On average, it gives you 10 of (A) material needed to craft the (B) item to unlock them. You need 90 of (A) item for the unlock and a further 210 of it to optimize them.

you go and kill doggo three times and get your crewmate card.

90 times??? Wtf lol? I did less than that to farm everyone's terminus weapons.

Are you talking about actually unlocking the character or something else?

What do you mean by optimize them? Can I not use the mats from the regular game to level them up and their weapons etc?

Why is this so drastically different from the previous two answers lol

[Vect]

Pretty easy. To unlock a character you need 3 big thingy.
One thingy can be crafter from 30 small things.
First kill of Behemot will give you 1 big thing and any clear after random 0-1 big things and 4-11 small things. I played with brother, we unlocked character in an hour I think.

Was waiting for Tweyen and played only the Story at Release.
Now they want me to kill stuff on extreme difficult to unlock her?
Sorry but im out.

There's a new item called Revenant Medallion, killing the new boss can gives you a set amount of this new item (between 6 to 9 per kill) that you can trade for the item required to unlock them, in total you need 90 Revenant Medallions to unlock them... alternatively, you could get lucky and the boss drops the item you need to unlock them (It's called Supreme Weapon Essence, you need 3 of those).

edit: also the extreme quest also drops the medallion,

Imagine playing a game to unlock things in it. Such a horrible fate.

To get what would've been their Terminus weapon passive. It's relegated to a sigil that you have to craft

oh so they don't even have their own terminus weapon and need to waste a precious sigil slot for the same effect? That would suck big time as if we aren't already forced to equip a bunch of dmg cap sigils...

It's partially circumvented that their ascension weapon has a lvl 15 supplementary dmg. Though, that's only for the folk that already has three Supplementary V's. From what i've seen thus far though, their overall dps is painfully decent

Necroing, but you can only do proud quests once you do all the extreme quests that have swords next to their names. After unlocking proud, you need to do more proud quests before unlocking the quests that drop more medallions.

The extreme quest guarantees 1 drop from killing 100 ari, and may occasionally give you an extra 3 for getting s++. Proud quest drops are guaranteed and far more.
