Gears 5 is including more characters for the players to choose from with the release of its first DLC character drop, which includes both heroes and villains. Developer The coalition already has stated its intention of adding more characters to the game in the following months and this is the first batch. You will be able to choose Gear and DeeBee for the COG, as well as Warden and General Raam for the Swarm.
The characters are playable in Arcade multiplayer and PvE modes, and they have new abilities that will offer you more strategic choices during your games.
The best thing is that even though you can unlock these new characters buying them for 500 iron each in the game, you can also do it just by playing through a new totem system that is being added to Gears 5 too.
To unlock a character you first have to spend 100 scrap to craft a totem that you will need to equip as you complete different objectives. since only one of those totems can be active at a time you will need to repeat this process for every character that you want to unlock. With your totem equipped, you will need to complete four objectives that are the same for all the characters and a fifth one that is specific for each of them.

According to The Coalition, the time needed to unlock each character by playing Gears 5 is about 10 hours per each of them, although it may vary depending on your skills.
