All New Weapons in Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns

There are two ways to get the 22 new weapons in Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns. The first is to unlock them by playing the game. The majority of weapons can be unlocked by surviving as their related character for fifteen minutes, but a few can be found on the Neo Galuga map.

  • Ariana: Spread Shot
  • Bill Rizer: Long Gun
  • Brad Fan: Firearm
  • Colonel Bahamut: Metal Claw
  • Lance Beam: Short Gun
  • Lucia: C-u-Laser
  • Newt Plissken: Diver Mines
  • Probotector: Prism Lass
  • Sheena Etranzi: Blade Crossbow
  • Sonic Bloom: Sonic Bloom
  • Stanley Ironside: Homing Miss

Of these weapons, the Prism Lass, Metal Claw, and Homing Miss are available on Neo Galuga. Simply run into them while you play and you can use them for the duration of that run. For the rest, you’ve got to stay alive as long as you can.

The second way to get new weapons is through weapon evolution. To do this, you’ll need to collect Weapon Power-Ups. You can get these items either on Neo Galuga or by selecting them after leveling up. For the majority of upgrades, you’ll need a second item, as well. That said, note that not all of the new weapons are accessible this way.
