The game is fun but sometimes confusing and frustrating to unlock things. Instead of trying to find something in one particular map for a couple hours, you can just simply unlock the character with a simple line of words.
Locating the File
The first thing you will have to do is to navigate to your save.json file.
Program File (x86) > Steam > Userdata >1337520 (This folder might be different for, just check the last modified date, for example 11/8, which is the games release date) > Remote > Save.json
Do note that this will only work when you enter it after “flags” :[
So do a search in the file to find out where your supposed to mess around with.
