First time hitting Level 20 with Corruptor as Praetorian (Epic Archtypes questiosn)

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry if this has been asked a lot of times. But I've used the search button and I couldn't find any topic that answers my question.

I've just hit lvl 20 on my Corruptor who is a Praetorian. After he reached level 20, it said "Epic Archtype Unlocked". I already know I would unlock them but when I look at the character screen, none of them are unlocked.

Was there anything special I have to do?

I've read on one thread that I can't unlock them if my Character was Praetorian. Is this true? If so, why would it tell me that I've unlocked an Epic Archtype once I reach level 20 even though I wasn't supposed to unlock it as a Praetorian? I was looking forward to trying out the epic archtypes.

Thank you in advance.

The game can't tell where you're from when you hit the magic lvl. So it say congratulations, even when you haven't unlocked anything.

And FYI, Praetorians don't have epics to unlock. Yet. I would not be surprised if a Praetorian-specific epic is in the works...

oh man, I didn't know you can't unlock them if you're praetorian, I thought it only based on the archtype you put to lvl 20 wether it was a villain or hero archtype. I was looking forward to being an Arachnos Soldier (Their powers and skills fit my concept of a hero/villain better).

Oh yeah, if I went to Villain side once I'm done with Praetoria, can the game see it as a villain archtype and unlock the epic archtype?

But thanks for clearing that up.

Nope. Praetorians don't unlock any of the Primal EATs. The only way to unlock those archetypes is to level a Primal native hero or villain AT to 20.


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll just start another new character again.

On the bright side if they decide to add Praetorian Epics you'll have them unlocked already.

Also just to cover all bases. You need a hero to unlock the HEAT, and a Villain to unlock a VEAT.

hmm, I wonder if he takes his praetorian redside, switches to his alternate build and trains it up to 20 if it would say EATs unlocked when he passed 20, and actually grant them?

It says "EPICS UNLOCKED" when you reach Experience Level 20, not Security Level. So training has no effect on that.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I just wanted to unlock the Arachnos Soldier. It's the Archtype that comes close to a hero/villain character I had in mind (similar to The Punisher). I decided to take Mastermind Mercenary/DM to get there faster since last I played them, I leveled it real fast to 18, only problem was, he was also Praetorian .
