How to unlock Kameos fast – Mortal Kombat 1

All 15 Kameos in the rebooted world of MK1.

While there are tons of familiar faces you can unlock and play as in Mortal Kombat 1, there are also a variety of fighters that can be used to help you out in a fight—Kameos. Here's how to get them fast.

Fastest way to unlock all Kameos in MK1

In order to unlock all the possible Kameo characters as quickly as you can, it's best if you focus on Invasion mode. While playing through the story mode or online modes will also earn you XP, Invasion is the fastest way.

The modifiers in Invasion ensure that it is the highest amount of XP per hour, and if you add up the extra XP for finishing moves like Fatalities, you should be heading for Profile level 25 in no time. However, if you are looking to kill two birds with one stone, you can take on the Story Mode; this will help you to level your player Profile while also getting you closer to unlocking Havik, who is locked behind the completion of the story.

Another thing that can help is the addition of an XP-boosting Relic. Relics are equipable items that give boosts to things like the amount of XP earned, damage increases, and other buffs, but each one comes with a debuff as a trade-off. There are several XP-raising Relics, such as the "Not Junk" Relic, which boosts XP gained by 15%.
