Megabonk has surprisingly grabbed the attention of many Roguelite players with its fun gameplay elements, and you can unlock new characters along the way.
Every character has a unique aspect about them, but your choices in the beginning will be minimal. However, a part of the grind is to complete different tasks to unlock the characters from the shop (no microtransactions detected).
This guide will help you expand your roster quickly.

How to get a new character in Megabonk?
The first step is to unlock a new character by completing their requirement. However, this doesn’t automatically add them to your roster. There are a few more steps to complete.
- Every character has a unique weapon. You’ll need to complete the specific tasks to unlock their weapons first.
- Then, you’ll need to spend Silver to obtain the weapons.
- This will now allow you to spend more Silvers in the shop to get a new character.
At first, it seems like a lot. But you gradually start building up your Silver by completing multiple runs. The deeper you go on a run, the higher your Silver will be.
