What are Mastery Rewards in Mortal Kombat 1?
Mastery Rewards is a new bonus system in MK1 that offers rewards when you level up characters. Each Mortal Kombat 1 fighter can get 48 Mastery Rewards via 35 Mastery Levels while Kameo fighters can unlock 28 Mastery Rewards via 15 Mastery Levels. The game’s 23 main fighters and 15 Kameo fighters can be leveled up by playing matches across the MK1’s modes like Mortal Kombat 1 Invasion, Story Mode, Towers, and multiplayer.
These rewards range from new outfits and color palette choices to brutality moves and taunts. To check out what bonuses you’ve unlocked so far, head to your Character card. Then go to the Mastery Tab. It takes a long time to level up characters. So start with your favorites and stick to them to level them up all the way.
How to unlock Mastery Rewards in Mortal Kombat 1?
Here are some ways to quickly unlock Mastery Rewards in Mortal Kombat 1:
- Stick to the same character and Kameo fighter to consistently level up.
