Items

In Megabonk, items are crucial for enhancing your character's abilities and surviving longer runs. There are 77 items in total, with 35 unlocked by default. The rest require completing specific quests or spending Silver.

While a number of basic items are available by default, the majority must first be unlocked. This is done by completing a specific in-game objective or Quest. After being unlocked, the item must be purchased with Silver from the main menu's "Unlocks" tab to be added to the pool of potential items that can appear in future runs.

How to Obtain Items

Items can be obtained through:

• Treasure Chests: Found throughout the map.
• The Shady Guy: A randomly appearing NPC who sells items.
• Quests: Completing specific challenges unlocks new items.
• Unlocks Menu: Lists all items and their unlock requirements.
