Which Class Should You Pick?

Your options are limited when starting a new run in No More Room In Hell 2, as you're only given three choices that are randomly picked from the pool. Recommendations could be made on which ones would be the strongest for starting from scratch, but statistically, it is unlikely that you'll have them as one of your options. In saying that, you can certainly build a character that suits your playstyle, whether you prefer stealth, firepower, strength, survivability, or resourcefulness, or you can play with friends that have different skills and feed off each other's strengths.

While these skills are linked to each of their respective character classes, that doesn't mean they'll be unavailable for the rest of the characters in the game. As you earn XP and level up your character, you'll be given another three options to choose from the pool of skills. The key to creating a character that fits your playstyle is to gather those resources and successfully be extracted from the map, so you can continue to strengthen your loadout with each run.

How To Change Character in No More Room in Hell 2

Unfortunately, it is not possible for players to change their character in the traditional sense in a run of No More Room In Hell 2. However, that's not to say that it isn't possible, but it will require sacrificing any progress you have made with your current character and intentionally dying. So, if you're looking to make a change, then it would be best to do so when you're in the early stages of your run.

No More Room In Hell 2 has a permadeath feature which, as the name may suggest, means that when your character dies, that is the end of your run. While you can be healed or revived by a teammate during a match, there's no option to respawn, so once you're gone, that's it. This also applies to exiting a game early - if you exit to the main menu or desktop before a mission is complete, your character is considered dead and you'll need to start again.
