What are Prospectors in Wildgate?

Prospectors, a fancier name for swashbuckling space pirates, serve as your roster of playable characters in Wildgate. As an online multiplayer FPS, it's up to you to pick which Prospector you think suits not only your personal playstyle but the situation at hand. There may be a need for more defensive ranks or for someone adept at boarding enemy ships.

The game starts you out with a handful of playable options automatically unlocked, and as you participate in matches and level up, more members will unlock for you to try out and diversify your playstyle. Furthermore, even more Prospectors are slated to debut in future seasonal patches, according to the game's Post-Launch Content Plan.

How to Unlock All Prospectors in Wildgate

Since the game's initial launch, there are currently 7 playable Prospectors in Wildgate. They each have their own perks and traits that make them adaptable to various match scenarios, and understanding each of them will make it easier for you to balance out your team compositions and achieve victory.
