All Unlocks Guide: Characters, Guns & Items
Every unlock condition in Enter the Gungeon — how to unlock all characters, guns, items, and more, organized by category.

Most guns, items, and characters in Enter the Gungeon must be unlocked before they can appear in runs. Unlocking items also makes them more likely to appear. This guide covers every unlock condition, organized by category.
Character Unlocks
Only four characters are available at the start; the rest appear in Brecha once you meet their conditions.
Bala only needs you to spare 5
Red-Caped Bullet Kin and can be picked up early, while
Robot first requires opening the Armazmorra en sí shortcut before the
Televisor estropeado appears — not cheap, so slot it in after that shortcut quest. Meanwhile The
Paradox and The
Gunslinger require killing a past first and are long-term, post-clear goals.
| Character | Unlock Condition |
|---|---|
Bala | Spare 5 Red-Caped Bullet Kin |
Robot | Bring the Televisor estropeado to the Herrera |
The Paradox | Find and interact with a cosmic rift after defeating the past of any Gungeoneer, then defeat the Liche or kill the character's past |
The Gunslinger | As The Paradox, defeat the Liche, then kill the Gunslinger's past on the next run |
Skin Unlocks
Both are purely cosmetic and do not affect power, making them a good stretch goal once you are comfortable with a character. Compañero misterioso here is the local co-op second-player character, playable only in two-player co-op.
| Character | Alternate Costume | Starting Weapon Skin |
|---|---|---|
Convicta | Kill The Convicta's past | Kill her past in the alternate costume → Revólver de saldo |
Cazadora | Kill The Cazadora's past | Kill her past in the alternate costume → Arma de mano oxidada |
Marine | Kill The Marine's past | Kill his past in the alternate costume → Arma de mano de marine |
Piloto | Kill The Piloto's past | Kill his past in the alternate costume → Especial de Piloto |
| Compañero misterioso | Reach Compañero misterioso's past | Reach their past in the alternate costume → Pistola de dardos |
Bala | Kill The Bala's past | Kill their past in the alternate costume → Blasfemia |
Robot | Kill The Robot's past | Kill their past in the alternate costume → Mano derecha de robot |
Shortcut Unlocks
Elevator shortcuts are opened by delivering
Cartuchos,
Llave and other resources in batches to
Inventor in Brecha, letting you ride straight to the matching floor. Finishing the shortcut quests also unlocks the guns and items below; the deliveries are costly, so open them gradually when you can spare the resources.
Guns
Gun unlocks come from three broad sources: repeatedly clearing specific floors, meeting special kill or challenge conditions, and buying from Breach merchants with Crédito de la Hegemonías collected in Enter the Gungeon. The more guns you unlock, the better your average loot pool each run — generalist guns give the biggest payoff first.
