Base Game Character Unlocking

In the original Friday Night Funkin’, most characters are automatically available from the start. The main story mode features Boyfriend facing off against Daddy Dearest, Skid and Pump, Pico, Mommy Mearest, and other core characters without requiring any unlocking process. You simply progress through the weeks by completing songs successfully.

Mod-Specific Character Unlocks

Character unlocking becomes more complex when you dive into the modding community. Popular mods like Psych Engine, Kade Engine, and various character packs often implement their own unlock systems:

  • Story Mode Completion: Many mods require you to beat specific weeks or achieve certain scores to unlock new playable characters
  • Freeplay Requirements: Some characters become available only after completing particular songs in freeplay mode
  • Achievement-Based: Certain mods tie character unlocks to in-game achievements like hitting perfect combos or surviving difficult songs
  • Secret Codes: A few mods hide characters behind button combinations or easter egg sequences

Character Select Menu Navigation

When mods do include unlockable characters, they typically appear in a character select screen. Look for grayed-out or locked character portraits that become colorful and selectable once you meet the requirements. The unlock conditions are usually displayed when you hover over locked characters, though some mods keep these requirements mysterious for discovery purposes.

Fan-favorite unlockable characters across various mods include Whitty, Hex, Tricky the Clown, and Garcello. Each mod creator designs their own progression system, so what works in one mod won’t necessarily apply to another. Always check the mod’s documentation or community forums for specific unlock guides.
