Vampire Survivors Operation Guns: All Weapon Evolutions

Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns has a few ridiculously powerful Evolutions.

Vampire Survivors developer poncle announced it was working on a new crossover DLC with Contra. After the success of the Among Us-themed DLC, it was no surprise to see the team branch out with Operation Guns. As with most DLC and updates, Operation Guns features several new weapons and Evolutions for players to uncover. That said, the team doesn't give fans many hints about unlocking the powerful new Evolutions, which can lead to a bunch of guesswork. If you want to skip that process, we've collected the full list of new Evolutions for Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns below.

All Weapon Evolutions in Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns

The Vampire Survivors developers have added a new wrinkle to Evolutions in Operation Guns. Fortunately, it's not too difficult to manage, especially if you're playing on the Neo Galuga map. To evolve each weapon in Operation Guns, you'll need a new Passive Item called the Weapon Power-Up. These can be selected after leveling up on any map, but you get several for free on Neo Galuga. For most Evolutions, you'll also need a second Passive Item, so the chart below will come in handy if you're having trouble figuring out what you need. here are all of the new Evolutions in Operation Guns:

  • Long Gun + Weapon Power-Up = Prototype A
  • Short Gun + Weapon Power-Up + Bracer = Prototype B
  • Spread Shot + Weapon Power-Up + Empty Tome = Prototype C
  • C-U-Laser + Weapon Power-Up + Tiragisu = Pronto Beam
  • Firearm + Weapon Power-Up + Candelabrado = Fire-L3GS
  • Sonic Bloom + Weapon Power-Up + Armor = Wave Beam
  • Homing Miss + Weapon Power-Up + Duplicator = Multistage Missiles
  • Diver Mines + Weapon Power-Up + Attractorb = Atmo-Torpedo
  • Blade Crossbow + Weapon Power-Up + Wings = Time Warp
  • Metal Claw + Weapon Power-Up + Hollow Heart = Big Fuzzy Fist

Vampire Survivors and the Operation Guns DLC are available now on Switch, Xbox, and PC platforms. The game is coming to PlayStation platforms later this year.
