Oh, hey. Battleborn is out. After what seems like very little fanfare, the first is a series of hero-driven shooter games is available for you to play. Sporting a diverse cast of eclectic heroes, Battleborn’s filled to the brim with unique characters for you to play as.
You start with just the 7; Marquis, Miko, Montana, Orendi, Oscar Mike, Rath and Thorn. There are 18 for you to unlock in the game through playing, and not by whipping out your credit card. Each hero has two different ways of being unlocked. Some require playing through the game’s story mode, while others require assists and a large kill tally. All heroes can be unlocked through the game’s secondary XP system; Command Ranks. For every 2 Command Ranks you’ll unlock a new hero, which can be a time-consuming process.
Here’s how to get your heroes earlier.

Yeah, it’s an “either/or” situation. You need to fulfill one of those conditions.
