How to unlock Sheena in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns

Making her return all the way from Contra: Hard Corps.

With so many games to choose from, it’s no surprise that the main characters of certain Contra games would make their way to Vampire Survivors Operation Guns. Let’s ready our bow and figure out how to unlock Sheena in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns.

To unlock Sheena in Vampire Survivors, you need to evolve the Sonic Bloom into Wave Beam. The process of evolving the Operation Guns weapons is slightly different when compared to the base Vampire Survivors game and other DLCs. Don’t worry, here’s exactly the process you need to follow to evolve Sonic Boom and unlock Sheena in Vampire Survivors:

  1. Unlock Lucia to ultimately unlock Hestic Highway
  2. Find and unlock Brad on Hectic Highway
  3. Evolve the Fire Arm to unlock Browny
  4. Evolve the Sonic Boom to unlock Sheena

Sheena is one of 11 characters you can unlock in the Vampire Survivors Operation Guns DLC (with a secret 12th character). She has some of the best recovery stats for any of the Contra characters, and her base move speed is decent as well. If you haven’t already, you should probably make sure you unlock Browny before attempting to unlock Sheena as I think it’ll make things easier.

We told you to unlock Browny before attempting to get Sheena, and that wasn’t just because his character box comes before hers. Browny’s starting weapon is the Sonic Bloom, which makes this task so much easier when you don’t have to go searching for the weapon. Your goal is to survive for 15 minutes with Browny to unlock the Sonic Boom. That’ll make evolving it much easier.

To evolve Sonic Boom into Wave Beam, you need have a level eight Sonic Boom, a level eight Armor, and a Weapon Power-Up. Once you’ve started the game and chosen Browny on the new map Neo Galuga, you must find and pick up a Weapon Power-Up. These are easily recognizable new items that look like a metal briefcase and can be found around Neo Galuga.

After grabbing one of these, you must also get the passive item Armor. As nice as it would be for the game to immediately give you the evolution, we’re not done yet. Once you have all three items, you need to get Sonic Bloom and Armor to max level eight. The Weapon Power-Up has no upgrades and is only needed to facilitate the evolution.

Having maxed out your weapon and passive item, all that’s left to do is find a chest and hope the evolved weapon Wave Beam pops out. You can quit the run you’re in once you’ve obtained the evolved weapon or finish it out.

Once you return to the main menu and head to the character select, you’ll be able to purchase Sheena and take her into battle. If you’re still looking to unlock all the characters, you may need help unlocking Newt.
