Understanding Megabonk’s Core Progression
At its core, Megabonk is about exploration and gradual mastery. Each run brings you Silver (the game’s primary currency) and progress toward unlocking new characters, weapons, and upgrades.
While many roguelites rely on luck, Megabonk rewards consistency. The more you experiment with builds, the faster you’ll unlock new content. Characters aren’t gated by microtransactions — everything can be earned through gameplay.
How Character Unlocks Work
Unlocking characters in Megabonk isn’t as straightforward as just finding them. Most are tied to specific achievements, milestones, or encounters during your runs.
Once you meet a character’s unlock condition, they become available in the shop, where you can spend Silver to add them permanently to your roster. Each hero also has a unique weapon, which you’ll often need to unlock separately before purchasing the character.
Tip: Focus on completing biome tiers and challenges early. These often overlap with character unlock conditions and will help you progress faster.

Tips for Unlocking Characters Faster
- Balance exploration and farming. Don’t rush through biomes; take time to collect Silver and defeat high-value enemies.
- Stack Silver bonuses. Prioritize upgrades and perks that increase Silver gains — they’ll pay off long-term.
- Focus on one biome at a time. Each area contains specific unlock conditions; mastering one before moving to the next speeds up progress.
- Experiment with weapons. Some character unlocks are tied to specific weapon tomes — keep rotating your arsenal to discover new synergies.
- Use modifiers wisely. Higher-tier runs yield better rewards but can quickly overwhelm new players. Build up your gear before tackling tougher tiers.
Building a Strong Silver Economy
Everything in Megabonk ties back to Silver. The deeper your runs go, the more Silver you earn — and that’s key to unlocking weapons and characters efficiently.
- Complete challenges early. They’re repeatable and offer solid Silver rewards.
- Avoid dying early. Surviving longer drastically increases your end-of-run payout.
- Upgrade your damage tomes. They not only help with boss fights but are required for some character unlocks.
