How to unlock Bill in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns

A collaboration between Vampire Survivors and the legendary Contra is a match made in heaven, which is exactly what Vampire Survivors Operation Guns is. If you want to play with the shiny new characters, here’s how to unlock Bill Rizer in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns.

How to get Bill Rizer in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns

Bill is hidden in a Coffin located deep into the stage. As the new area is pretty intricate, I recommend checking your map and heading directly east until you reach the map icon (check the image above). The map reveals the layout of the entire stage, including bridges and other pickups like Weapon Power-Ups, which you’ll need to evolve all 11 weapons.

You can find Bill’s coffin to the northeast by the question mark icon. This is past the laser sword, which I found to be a tricky weapon to get. More specifically, The coffin is on a small section of the map that’s only accessible via a small entry from the south (see the image above).

Once you interact with the coffin, you’ll unlock Bill, and he will appear on the character list when you start a game. If you want to play as Bill right away, you can quit your current run the moment you reach him.

The new collab area is pretty difficult with many tanky enemies. With this in mind, I recommend waiting around the starting area for a few levels before you go exploring. It’s good to power up before you travel, as you’ll struggle if you go for Bill with vanilla weapons.

Should I use Bill in Vampire Survivors?

Any Vampire Survivors veteran will tell you to use any and every character. Once you’ve unlocked a few weapons, you can make anyone in the roster work. Synergies win games, and you can put those to good use no matter who you’re playing as.

The Contra Collab adds an incredible amount of content to Vampire Survivors, and it’s well worth the asking price. That said, make sure you try the Laborratory Free Update, where you can squash enemies with a train!
