Riot Games’ 2XKO is one of those team tag-fighter games that’s hard to put down once you’re locked in. With Season 1 (2026) Battle Pass launching alongside the game’s full release, it’s quickly become a go-to for killing time and honing your combat skills.

2XKO Caitlyn Champion Recruitment Event, Explained
Get Caityn For Free
The Caitlyn Champion Recruitment Event is the first official event of the game since its full launch, and it’s the kind where players can grab the new champion, Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover, free of cost. This rifle girl can take down enemies with kicks and ground smashes, while also targeting their weak spots from afar, making her a great pick for fights.
To join the Caitlyn Champion Recruitment Event, simply head to the Play section and jump into matches. You’ll need 10,000 XP to unlock Caitlyn for free in 2XKO and complete her entire recruitment track.
Because casual matches don’t reward much XP on their own, they shouldn’t be the main focus. The best way to clear the event is by finishing missions tied to matches, such as dealing more damage or recovering health (check the Missions Tab for details), as these grant a generous amount of experience points. The event runs from January 22 to February 19, 2026. After it ends, Caitlyn can only be grabbed like other champions by spending 10,000 Green Credits.
If you want to get Caitlyn fast in 2XKO, just finish all three Featured Missions for Season 1, along with three Weekly Missions, and three Daily Missions each day for seven days to earn the 10,000 XP needed to unlock her.
Other Methods to Unlock Caitlyn in 2XKO
Thankfully, players who don’t feel like grinding through the entire Champion Recruitment Event can still obtain Caitlyn in 2XKO in the following ways:
- 1 Champion Token (If you haven’t used your Season 1 free token yet, now’s the perfect time)
- 1,000 KO Points (Paid currency, best for pay-to-win players)
- Ultra Battle Pass Upgrade (Costs 3,500 KO Points)
Skipping the event might sound tempting, but we recommend finishing it. While getting 10,000 XP from missions, you’ll also earn 10,000 Green Credits, which can be used to get another champion for your team. This way, you'll have two new fighters instead of just one.
