As the name implies, Gotham Knights isn’t a game about just one of Batman’s many sidekicks. Rather, the game features a handful of them. Thankfully, you aren’t stuck just playing as one or the other. Unfortunately, the tutorial doesn’t quite address how you go about switching characters. With our guide, you’ll learn how to change the different characters in Gotham Knights so you can run around Gotham as any of the heroes you wish.
How to Change Characters in Gotham Knights
In Gotham Knights, you’re in control of four prominent heroes of the Bat-Family: Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood. But what if you’re interested in checking out all their moves individually at some point? Or perhaps you favor one over the other for specific fights? Well, you’re in luck because you can easily swap out your characters near the beginning of the game.
However, before you change characters in Gotham Knights, you must complete some basic steps.
First, you’ll select the initial character you want to start the game with, a portion that also serves as the tutorial section. Once you finish that, you’ll return to the Belfry, your main base of operations, and purchase your first Ability. From there, you’ll go on your first patrol around Gotham City.
When that is completed, you’re one step closer to getting the option to change characters in Gotham Knights.
Return to the Belfry and enter the room with the Batcomputer. To the left of this room is where you’ll find a training area and all the superhero suits of the playable characters.
Simply walk up to the suit of the Gotham Knights hero you want to be and interact with it to change characters.
Note that this is the only way you can switch out your characters in the game. You cannot change characters while out on patrol.
Also, no matter what character you are, Ability points are shared, but the characters’ abilities differ significantly. That way, you can level up everyone simultaneously and explore all their fighting skills.
