If you appreciate both science fiction and Sea of Thieves, then you’ll find Wildgate particularly captivating. However, unlike Sea of Thieves where the focus is more on exploration and adventure, Wildgate emphasizes teamwork and strategic loadouts. In Wildgate, if your team fails to utilize all the top-tier characters (Prospectors), progress will be challenging. This Wildgate character ranking guide will evaluate and rank all Prospectors from best to worst, considering their passive abilities and stats. So, let’s delve in!
Wildgate Tier List – All Prospectors Ranked
You’ll discover our Wildgate Prospectors tier list in the table that follows. Generally, Sal and Ion are highly recommended as they are exceptionally effective, using them in your team is almost essential to avoid being at a disadvantage. Characters like Adrian and Venture, however, are generally less effective and may not contribute as much as other characters. Here’s what each tier signifies:
– S Tier (Strong/Superior)
– A Tier (Above Average/Acceptable)
– B Tier (Below Average/Borderline)
– C Tier (Weak/Challenged)
– D Tier (Disadvantageous/Dreadful)
- S Tier: The best Prospectors in Wildgate. Not having at least one of each on your squad will make your runs significantly harder.
- A Tier: Excellent Prospectors that will fill the rest of your 4-man squad together with the S-tier ones.
- B Tier: The worst Prospectors in Wildgate. They can work in PvE, but if you want to win in PvP consistently, using them will make your squad less competitive.
| Tier | Prospector | Ranking Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| S |  Sal | Sal is the Swiss knife of Wildgate. He is the best ship-fixer in the game with his Multitool bounce passive. Plus, the extra items you get with his Salvage passive can easily clutch you the run. He is literally indispensable. |
 Ion | Ion is the ultimate boarder in Wildgate. His tankiness, automatic stowed weapon reloads, 2X melee damage, and ability to destroy ship parts make it an offensive menace. | |
| A |  Mophs | Mophs is a stealthy assassin/thief that can be both broken and useless, and it largely depends on how you play him. He can work both as a boarder and a defender, as his stealth allows you to cheese unsuspecting enemies. |
 Sammo | Sammo is one of the best defenders in Wildgate. He fully heals when blasting an enemy and also gains 20m of X-ray vision while on your ship. He isn’t as OP as Ion, but having him can help you a lot on defense. | |
 Kae | Kae can interact with objects that are up to 10m away and also teleport up to 100m. Her mobility is extremely good, and she is just a better thief than Mophs. However, her combat potential is a bit worse. | |
| B |  Venture | Venture is by far the best beginner Prospector in Wildgate but also one of the worst ones for competitive play. He doesn’t require Oxygen, regenerates HP faster, and also gets an alert when an enemy is behind him. He is a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. |
 Adrian | Adrian is arguably the worst Prospector in Wildgate right now. His mobility can’t compare to the utility Mophs and Kae have, and there is very little reason to use him. |
Prospector Passives and Stats
Here is the list of passives and stats for each Prospector in Wildgate, which we used to determine their ranking in the tier list above. It’s worth noting that Sal’s passive “no vulnerable location” implies he is not subjected to increased headshot damage; all other Prospectors experience this.
| Prospector | Passives & Stats |
|---|---|
Adrian | • JET PACK | Activate for a boost in speed (replaces Maghook) • WINGS | Fly 30% faster • HEALTH | 100 |
Venture | • ROBOT | Does not require Oxygen • EXPLORER | Regenerates health faster • CAMERON | Warns Venture when an enemy is behind him • HEALTH | 100 |
Kae | • TELEKINETIC | Can interact with objects 10m away • WARP JUMP | Teleport once up to 100m away (replaces Maghook) • HEALTH | 100 |
Sammo | • BEGONE! | While on your ship, heal 100% after blasting a Prospector • THE QUIET | See enemies inside your ship through walls – range 20m • HEALTH | 120 |
Ion | • BATTERING RAM | Melee attacks deal 2X damage and can destroy ship parts • FOUR ARMS | Automatically reloads your stowed weapon • HEALTH | 120 |
Mophs | • CAMOUFLAGE | Activate, moves faster, action cancels, replaces Maghook, 15 second duration • WINGS | Fly 30% faster • HEALTH | 80 |
Sal | • REFLECTIVE NANITES | Multitool bounces to hit a second target • SALVAGE | Scrap unwanted items in Ship Processor, get random items or weird devices • HEALTH | 120, no vulnerable location |
