To unlock Havik, you need to complete Story Mode. The Story Mode consists of 15 Chapters and will take around 6-8 hours to complete on average. If you want to test out Havik in the meantime you can play as him in the game’s Lessons mode.
Scorpion (Kameo)

To unlock Scorpion as a Kameo fighter you’ll need to play the game until your Account Level reaches level 5. We’ve found winning games online and Invasions mode to be the most efficient ways of levelling up your account levels. Scorpion is featured in his classic MK Trilogy look and can perform Fire Breath, Get Over Here, and Hell Blades, as well as the Toasty!!! Kameo Fatality.
Sub-Zero (Kameo)

Much like Scorpion, Sub-Zero’s Kameo is unlocked through increasing your Account Level. You’ll need to keep playing until your Account Level reaches Level 10. Sub-Zero is also featured in his classic MK Trilogy look and can perform Arctic Armor, Kold Shoulder, and Iced Out, as well as the Spine Rip Kameo Fatality.
Kung Lao (Kameo)
