In the superhero video game Gotham Knights you’ll take on the role of Nightwing, Red Hood, Robin or Batgirl. Already at the beginning of the story you’ll have to choose between one of the four characters and complete the first quests. Later in the game you can also switch between the heroes and in this guide we will show you how to do that.
How the character change works in Gotham Knights
The introduction to the action role-playing game Gotham Knights is also a longer tutorial quest series. In the course of this, the goal is to solve Batman’s last case. You’ll be thrown right into the game’s action and you’ll have to solve a crime story including crime scene investigations and fight criminals. After some quests, you are supposed to pick the bell tower in Gotham. This then serves as headquarters for the four heroes from this point on. There, in the back of the large room, you will find suit racks with the costumes of Nightwing, Red Hood, Robin and Batgirl. By clicking (A/X key) on one of the stands you can now take a hero of your choice and jump into the action of the city. Character switching is not possible in the open game world or when completing quests.
How to unlock the fast travel points in Gotham Knights
The open game world of the action role-playing game Gotham Knights lends itself to being explored. In this you can move on foot or by vehicle (Batcycle). If you want to move around in good old Batman fashion, you can also swing from roof to roof with the grappling hook. Or, as you progress through the game, you’ll unlock the individual movement options through the knight’s striking abilities. However, if you want to save time, you can also use the quick travel feature. We’ll show you how to do it and what you need to do.
In these districts you can unlock a fast travel destination:
- Gotham Heights
- Bristol
- Browery
- Finance District
- Old Gotham
- Southside
- Tricorner Island
- West End
To unlock the fast travel feature in Gotham Knights, you need to start the second case file „The Rabbit Hole“. In this quest series, you’ll have to go to the Otisburg district in New Gotham and find Lucius Fox. He was Batman’s contact at Wayne Enterprises, so he had access to one or two useful pieces of technology or hardware.
He asks you to scan the GCPD threats in the city’s airspace. Once you have approached a drone, you simply scan it with your AR scanner. By doing so, you give Fox access to their systems and he can make you invisible to the GCPD’s surveillance systems. He also gives you a maneuverable glider for quick movement to fast travel destinations.
The destinations of the respective districts are marked with a gray icon, which changes color after a successful scan and from then on serves as a quick travel option by clicking on it. At each location you will find one to three drones, which you have to scan. Scan the environment with your AR scanner to find the hovering drones more easily. Some of these drones were equipped with a protective shield for protection. But that shouldn’t cause you any problems: Wait at the charging stations on the roofs and scan them after the shield has been lowered briefly for the charging process.
Life hack: Fast travel to the different fast travel points is also possible from the bell tower. With it, you can easily start the patrol through Gotham directly from the respective district.
