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.
Complete Character Unlock Guide
I’m going to break down every single character with the exact steps I used, plus pro tips I discovered along the way.
Starting Characters (Free)
Fox
Available immediately
Weapon: Firestaff (fireballs that explode on impact)
Passive: RNG Blessings (+1% Luck per level)
My Take: Great starter for learning the game mechanics
Sir Oofie
Available immediately
Weapon: Sword (slashes through multiple enemies)
Passive: Reinforced (+1% Armor per level)
My Take: My go to for defensive builds and weapon unlocks
Tier 1 Characters (1-2 Silver Each)
Calcium ⭐ Unlock First
Requirement: Kill 1,000 Skeletons
Silver Cost: 1 Silver
Weapon: Bone (throws bouncing bones)
Passive: Speed Demon (speed builds over time, damage scales with speed)
Pro Tip: Forest stages have tons of skeletons. I farmed this in about 3-4 runs on Forest Tier 1.
Megachad ⭐ Unlock Second
Requirement: Level Damage Tome to 7 + obtain Aura weapon
Silver Cost: 1 Silver
Weapon: Aura (area damage around you)
Passive: Flex (stops damage and stuns enemies)
Pro Tip: Aura is THE best weapon for farming XP. Don’t take damage for 2 consecutive minutes to unlock it.
Use Sir Oofie with armor build, play very defensively
Revolver ⭐
Kill 7,500 enemies with any weapon
1 Silver
Just play normally, tracks automatically
Aegis

My Pro Tips
Sniper Rifle

Lightning Staff is already strong, easy levels
Frostwalker
Freeze 1,000 enemies with Ice Cube
Ice Cube appears frequently, just use it when you see it
Black Hole
Level Knockback Tome to 10
Knockback is useful for survivability anyway
Blood Magic
Level Blood Tome to 12
Blood builds are powerful mid game
Poison Flask
Defeat Scorpionussy Miniboss 3 times
Desert miniboss, respawns between runs
Tornado
Charge 1 Charge Shrine during Sandstorm
Wait for sandstorm weather in Desert
Dragon’s Breath
Kill 1,000 Wisps as Fox in Desert
Wisps are the floating enemies, pretty common

Pure RNG, just keep trying
Katana
Break Tumbleweeds on Desert Stage 1 (5% drop)
2 Silver
Same 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:
Calcium (1 Silver) – Speed builds

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!
