How to change character in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
To change character in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, you simply need to press left on the D-pad and then up, down, left or right to choose a specific character.
On PC, press the corresponding key and use the mouse to wheel between the options outside of combat.
You can only change characters after completing the introductory tutorial and making your way into Metropolis.
However, you won’t be able to change characters in certain gameplay sections.
Once Rick Lane joins the Justice League, you can also walk up to him and press Triangle, Y, or the interact key on PC to bring up the Squad Menu that lets you change between characters, too – something that will become increasingly useful as more playable characters such as The Joker are added.
During co-op, you need to select a character to play as and if there are slots available, a secondary character to swap between.
You cannot share the same characters as your friend, so be sure to select the two you want before entering matchmaking or joining a friend.
