Bananarang is a unique weapon in Megabonk that throws bananas which arc out and return to the player, striking enemies both ways. It is required to unlock the Monke character.

How to Unlock

To obtain the Bananarang, players must locate a **hidden banana** in any tier of the Forest map.

  • The banana spawn is random, but most often appears during Forest Stage 1 runs.
  • Once found, the weapon becomes permanently available.
  • After discovery, it must be purchased from the Unlocks tab for 1 Silver.
  • Unlocking Bananarang is also mandatory to free and unlock Monke.

Strategy and Synergies

The Bananarang offers dual-hit potential since it damages enemies both on its outward and returning paths, making it effective in corridors and dense waves.

  • Projectile Speed: Increases travel distance and damage window.
  • Projectile Count: Boosts coverage by throwing multiple bananas at once.
  • Best Character: Works naturally with Monke, who starts with this weapon and gains +2 Max HP per level.
  • Synergizes with area-control tomes like Quantity Tome for wide coverage.

Upgrades

The Bananarang can receive the following upgrades:

  • Damage
  • Projectile Count
  • Projectile Speed
  • Size

These upgrades expand its range, hit potential, and crowd-clearing power.
