Wildgate, a PvP multiplayer shooter reminiscent of Sea of Thieves set in a cosmic environment, offers a selection of seven unique “Prospectors” for players. Initially, only three are available, each possessing distinct abilities tailored to various gameplay styles. Fortunately, acquiring the remaining four Prospectors is a straightforward process once you understand the method.
Unlocking All Prospectors in Wildgate

To gain access to the four initially locked characters – Sammo, Ion, Mophs, and Sal – players must advance to the first tier of their respective “Adventure” reward tracks. These Adventure tracks are similar to battle passes, yet they are entirely free and accessible from the beginning of the game. It is crucial to activate the desired Adventure before joining a match. Experience points (XP) are exclusively earned in PvP (Player vs. Player) matches; engaging in matches against AI-controlled opponents will not grant any XP. Therefore, always verify you`ve selected the appropriate game mode.
The following locked Prospectors are tied to specific Adventure tracks:
- Sammo – Hope Adventure
- Ion – Danger Adventure
- Mophs – Glory Adventure
- Sal – Knowledge Adventure

Each Adventure track tier requires approximately 70,000 XP to unlock. Daily missions provide a significant boost, awarding up to 140,000 XP upon completion. Standard PvP matches yield around 25,000 XP, varying with player performance, with additional bonuses for victories. While subsequent tiers on these Adventure tracks offer new gear and cosmetic items, the crucial character unlocks are always found at the very first tier. This means you can typically unlock each new Prospector within just three to four matches, even without relying on daily missions.
Every Prospector in Wildgate possesses unique specializations across activities such as piloting, exploration, and combat. By expanding your roster, you gain the flexibility to choose a character that perfectly aligns with your preferred gameplay style. Furthermore, the developers of Wildgate have unveiled a roadmap outlining future content updates for the shooter, promising additional Prospectors and points of interest (POIs) later this year.
