How to Unlock All Characters (Combat Shells) in Deadlink

There's no ghost in this shell! I think...

The great thing about games that give you different characters to play as, is that your identity as a gamer, in this case, a shooter, can be well represented. Many like close encounters with the enemies, making use of melee power and shotguns that will have the enemy flying across the map. Some others enjoy using a rifle at mid distance, while others make the best out of the character’s athletic capabilities to dodge every incoming bullet. Deadlink brings forth a choice, and it us up to you how to address this really fun roguelite FPS. Here is how to unlock all Combat Shells in Deadlink.
