How to Unlock Every Item in Megabonk: The Complete Loot List

Unlocking items in Megabonk is about the RNG of your loot table just as much as it’s about dodging projectiles or timing your strikes. However, it’s a fun activity – and knowing which are all the items that you can unlock (and how to do it) is immensely helpful.

To access the game-breaking synergies that allow for “god runs,” you need to expand that pool by completing specific milestones – and today I am here to help you with that.

I have a full list of all items in Megabonk below (more to be added by patches), organized by how you add them to your arsenal. Let’s begin!

Wrapping up

We might never know if the game’s developer, Dani is actually Vedinad, but we know that with 76 items currently available, the difference between a mediocre run and a record-breaking one usually comes down to how much of this list you have unlocked

While RNG plays a massive role in Megabonk too, there are plenty of great combinations you can aim for and a ton of items to unlock and use. And if you stumble upon any that hasn’t made it to my list above, please comment below and let me know, so I can update it.
