The roguelite looter shooter RIP – Reincarnation Insurance Program offers many pieces of gear for your character, which would have already been enough to keep playing for multiple runs. Fortunately, you also have a small group of characters that you can unlock, and each of them comes with their unique features.
If you prefer to be more personal with a shotgun or to have the longest range possible with a sniper, the options are available. So let’s not wait any longer, and let’s learn what you have to do to unlock every character in RIP – Reincarnation Insurance Program.
RIP is currently on Early Access. If new characters are launched or the conditions to unlock the existing ones change, we will update the guide.
How To Unlock Every Character
There are five characters in RIP, with their unique weapons and specific ability trees. Here’s what you need to do to unlock each of them.

How To Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Philomel |
Submachine Gun |
Light |
The starting character. |
|
Claire |
Shotgun |
Heavy |
You need to complete Death Swamp, the first area, at Risk Level 1. That means that you have to defeat Corrupted Ancient with Philomel. |
|
Mors |
Rocket Launcher |
Heavy |
To unlock this heavy character, you need to complete the Desert Ruin level at Risk Level 2. To unlock this area, you first need to complete Death Swamp. In Desert Ruin, you’ll have to defeat the Sandstorm Lord. |
|
Katerina |
Sniper Rifle |
Light |
Katerina is available once you complete Nordic Frostfields, the last available map, at Risk Level 3. You’ll first have to unlock Mors, and then face Plague Angel. |
|
Luna |
Cam Bow |
Light |
The last character available. You need to complete a map at Risk Level 4, which is unlocked after completing a level at Risk Level 3. I recommend completing Death Swamp at Risk Level 4. It will be much harder than the original one, but far easier than the other maps on that difficulty. |
Once you unlock Claire, the rest of the characters can be unlocked by playing with any character you want. I strongly recommend using Mors, since he has more armor and health than anybody else.
