MEGABONK COMPLETE UNLOCK GUIDE

Megabonk Guide 2025: Unlock All 20 Characters & Weapons

Table Of Contents

When I first started playing Megabonk, I was completely overwhelmed by how many characters and weapons there were to unlock. I spent way too many hours grinding without a proper strategy, and I wish someone had given me a complete roadmap from the start.

That’s exactly what I’m going to do for you today. After spending over 100+ hours in Megabonk and unlocking everything the game has to offer, I’ve figured out the most efficient path to get all 20 characters and every single weapon without wasting precious Silver or time.

Why This Guide is Different from Others?

Most guides I found online just list the requirements without explaining the strategy behind it. I’m going to show you:

  • The exact order to unlock characters for maximum efficiency
  • How to farm Silver smartly (you’ll need way more than the 37 Silver you earn)
  • Which weapons to prioritize first for easier progression
  • Hidden tricks that speed up the grinding process
  • Common mistakes that waste hours of your time

Let me walk you through everything step by step.

The Smart Unlock Strategy

Before diving into individual characters, I learned the hard way that there’s a “dilution trap” in Megabonk. Every weapon you unlock gets added to the item pool, which means weaker weapons can appear instead of the powerful ones you need for strong builds.

Here’s my proven 3-phase approach:

Phase 1: Essential Foundation Characters (Days 1-3)

  • Calcium – Easy skeleton farming for speed builds
  • Megachad – Aura weapon is game changing for XP farming
  • CL4NK – Revolver + crit builds dominate mid game

Phase 2: Power Spike Characters (Days 4-7)

  • Ogre – Axe weapon for AoE damage
  • Robinette – Gold farming passive helps with Silver generation
  • Bush – Sniper rifle for precise boss kills

Phase 3: Specialized & End-Game (Week 2+)

  • All remaining characters based on your preferred playstyle

This approach keeps your item pool clean while giving you the tools to progress faster.

ShotgunBreak Tumbleweeds on Desert Stage 2 (5% drop)2 SilverPure RNG, just keep trying
KatanaBreak Tumbleweeds on Desert Stage 1 (5% drop)2 SilverSame as Shotgun, requires patience

My Silver Farming Strategy

Here’s the part most guides skip you’ll need way more than 37 Silver to unlock everything. Here’s how I efficiently farmed Silver:

Method 1: Character Quest Chain (37 Silver Total)

Complete all character unlock requirements to earn the base Silver rewards.

Method 2: Robinette Gold Farming

  • Unlock Robinette early for her Stonks passive
  • Focus on Gold gain items and tomes
  • Convert excess Gold to Silver through gameplay

Method 3: Weapon Unlock Bonuses

Each weapon unlock gives 1-8 Silver depending on difficulty. Prioritize easier unlocks first.

Method 4: Challenge Completion

Daily and weekly challenges provide additional Silver rewards.

Pro Tips That Saved Me Hours

1. Track Multiple Objectives Simultaneously I always tried to work on 2-3 unlock requirements at once. For example, while farming Goblins for Ogre, I’d use Sword to work toward Axe unlock.

2. Use the Right Character for the Job

  • Fox for Wisp farming (Desert stages)
  • Sir Oofie for damage blocking and Sword kills
  • CL4NK for general enemy farming with Revolver

3. Don’t Rush Tier 3 Characters The 4-8 Silver weapons are expensive. Build up your Silver reserves first with easier unlocks.

4. Weather Timing Matters Some unlocks require specific weather conditions (like Sandstorm for Tornado). Don’t force it wait for the right conditions.

5. Hidden Boss Locations

  • Bush appears randomly in Forest stages
  • Bandit appears randomly in Desert stages
  • Keep exploring different areas within each stage

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: Unlocking Everything at Once I initially unlocked weapons randomly, which diluted my item pool and made runs harder. Follow the priority order I’ve outlined.

Mistake #2: Not Managing Silver Properly Save Silver for the expensive weapons. Don’t buy every 1 Silver weapon immediately.

Mistake #3: Ignoring Tome Levels Many weapon unlocks require high tome levels. Start working on these early since they take multiple runs.

Mistake #4: Skipping Defensive Options Sir Oofie’s armor build is crucial for several unlocks. Don’t neglect defensive gameplay.

Fastest Unlock Order

Week 1 Focus:

  1. Calcium (1 Silver) – Speed builds
  2. Aura weapon unlock (1 Silver) – Essential for XP farming
  3. Megachad (1 Silver) – Gets you the Aura weapon
  4. Revolver unlock (1 Silver) – Kill 7,500 enemies
  5. CL4NK (2 Silver) – Crit build dominance

Week 2 Focus:

  1. Robinette (2 Silver) – Gold farming passive
  2. Aegis weapon unlock (1 Silver) – Block 500 damage
  3. Axe weapon unlock (1 Silver) – 2,000 Sword kills
  4. Ogre (1 Silver) – AoE power spike

Week 3+ Focus:

Work through remaining characters based on your preferred playstyle and Silver availability.

Advanced Weapon Synergies

Once you start unlocking multiple weapons, here are the combinations that work incredibly well:

The Crit Build:

  • CL4NK character (Crit Happens passive)
  • Revolver weapon
  • Focus on Crit Chance tomes
  • Add Wireless Dagger for more crit opportunities

The Area Damage Build:

  • Megachad character (Flex passive)
  • Aura weapon
  • Add Tornado and Black Hole for screen clearing
  • Focus on damage and AoE tomes

The Speed Build:

  • Calcium character (Speed Demon passive)
  • Bone weapon for ranged bouncing
  • Add mobility items and speed tomes
  • Great for hit and run tactics

Dealing with RNG Based Unlocks

Some weapons have frustrating RNG requirements. Here’s how I handled them:

For Tumbleweeds (Shotgun & Katana):

  • Break every single Tumbleweed you see
  • Don’t get discouraged by the 5% drop rate
  • Average unlock time: 10-15 Desert runs

For Hidden Bananas (Bananarang):

  • Check every corner of Forest stages
  • Banana locations rotate between runs
  • Look for slightly different colored spots

For Boss Spawns (Bush & Bandit):

  • These bosses spawn randomly in their respective areas
  • Clear entire stages thoroughly
  • They have unique audio cues when nearby

Frequently Asked Questions

How much Silver do I need total?

You’ll need approximately 80-100 Silver to unlock everything. The 37 Silver from quests covers basics, but weapons cost significantly more.

Which character should I main while unlocking others?

I recommend Sir Oofie for defensive unlocks, Fox for Desert farming, and CL4NK once unlocked for general progression.

Can I unlock multiple weapons in one run?

Absolutely! I often worked on 2-3 weapon requirements simultaneously. Plan your runs to maximize efficiency.

What if I accidentally unlock too many weapons early?

Don’t worry too much you can still progress, it’ll just be slightly harder. Focus on the meta weapons (Aura, Revolver, Sword) in your builds.

Are there any weapons not worth unlocking?

For completionist purposes, unlock everything. But if you’re being selective, Hero Sword and Corrupted Sword are extremely challenging and expensive.

How do I know if I’m making good progress?

Track your unlocks weekly. You should have 5-8 characters and 10-15 weapons by the end of week 2 with consistent play.

Future Updates and Content

The developers have confirmed they’re adding more characters and weapons in future updates. I’ll be updating this guide as new content releases, so bookmark this page if you want to stay current with the meta.

Conclusion

Unlocking everything in Megabonk is definitely a grind, but with the right strategy, you can do it efficiently without wasting time or Silver. The key is following a logical progression path, managing your resources carefully, and working on multiple objectives at once.

I wish I’d had this roadmap when I started playing. It would’ve saved me dozens of hours of aimless grinding. Now that you have it, you can unlock everything systematically and enjoy the full depth of what Megabonk has to offer.

Remember to save this guide and refer back to it as you progress. The unlock requirements can be overwhelming to remember, but with this step by step approach, you’ll have every character and weapon unlocked before you know it.

Good luck with your bonking adventures, and let me know in the comments which character becomes your favorite once you’ve unlocked them all!
