How to unlock new characters in Stranger Things 3 Game
Right, onto the Stranger Things 3 Game unlock new characters list. We have provided a detailed look at how to get each one and where you have to go to find them. Scroll down to find your favorite character in particular, or work through them all if you want to acquire everyone.
Mike
Mike is one of two characters who you can play as at the start of the game.
Lucas
Like Mike, Lucas is a character who you can control from the game’s beginning. With the game’s feature that allows you to alternate between characters, you can switch between Mike and Lucas in the opening areas of the game.
Dustin
Dustin will be unlocked at the end of the mission titled “Radar Love.” He will be added to your roster and has the knack of being able to hack terminals. Whenever you come across a terminal that you need to gain access to, simply use this whiz kid to do so.
Nancy
To unlock Mike’s older sister, you have to complete the “Rat, Paper, Scissors” quest. You can pick up this mission in Mike’s basement after you complete “Radar Love.” Once “Rat, Paper, Scissors” is ticked off your list, Nancy will be available.
Jonathan
After Nancy is unlocked, you can complete another mission called “Coffee Run.” Simply check this quest off and Jonathan will be a playable character.
Max
You can unlock Max by finding her in Mike’s basement. However, she will join the party after you clear out the farm. Once you have done this, you have to take the old lady to the hospital. You will be teleported back to Mike’s basement after your hospital trip. Speak to Max, and she will join you.
Eleven
Eleven, or El, is only accessible after you unlock Max. Once she is part of your team, head to Hopper’s cabin. You will find Eleven inside. Simply speak to her and she will join you.
Joyce
Once you have Eleven, and before you return to Hawkins Lab, you have a chance to speak to Joyce at her home. Do so and she will automatically join you along with her handy bolt cutters.
Hopper
Another simple one to unlock. Joyce will ask you to speak to Hopper at his cabin. Return there, talk with him, and the Chief of Police will become the latest addition to your cause.
Will
The final member of the original D&D gang is only accessible once you find every D&D Character Sheet. To begin this quest, you will have to head to Will’s basement in the Byers’ household after you clear out Hawkins Lab. Speak to Will and he will set you off on this mission.
Once you have found every Character Sheet, return to Will. He will see you have acquired them all and join your cause.
Steve
During the “Scoops Troop” mission, you must save Steve at the mission’s end. Doing so will make him automatically become a playable character.
Erica
The final person to unlock is Lucas’ sassy little sister. She joins you after you complete the “Scoops Troop” quest.
And that’s it. You should now have completely unlocked all Stranger Things 3 Game new characters.
