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 Fenda once you meet their conditions.
Bala only needs you to spare 5
Red-Caped Bullet Kin and can be picked up early, while
Robô first requires opening the Balabirinto - Interior shortcut before the
Televisão Avariada 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 |
Robô | Bring the Televisão Avariada to the Ferreira |
The Paradox | Find and interact with a cosmic rift after defeating the past of any Gungeoneer, then defeat the Lich or kill the character's past |
The Gunslinger | As The Paradox, defeat the Lich, 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. Companheiro misterioso here is the local co-op second-player character, playable only in two-player co-op.
| Character | Alternate Costume | Starting Weapon Skin |
|---|---|---|
Condenada | Kill The Condenada's past | Kill her past in the alternate costume → Revólver Barato |
Caçadora | Kill The Caçadora's past | Kill her past in the alternate costume → Arma Reserva Enferrujada |
Soldado | Kill The Soldado's past | Kill his past in the alternate costume → Arma Reserva do Soldado |
Piloto | Kill The Piloto's past | Kill his past in the alternate costume → Especial de Ladino |
| Companheiro misterioso | Reach Companheiro misterioso's past | Reach their past in the alternate costume → Arma de Dardos |
Bala | Kill The Bala's past | Kill their past in the alternate costume → Blasfêmia |
Robô | Kill The Robô's past | Kill their past in the alternate costume → Mão Direita do Robô |
Shortcut Unlocks
Elevator shortcuts are opened by delivering
Cápsulas,
Chave and other resources in batches to
Consertador in Fenda, 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.

Botas Balísticas | Complete shortcuts |
R2G2 | Complete shortcuts |
Armotor | Complete shortcuts |
AQUI-47 | Complete shortcuts |
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 da Hegemonias 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.
