Ariana is likely the third character you’ll unlock in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns. You might end up unlocking Probotector first depending on what happens to you, but either way, here is exactly how to unlock Ariana in Vampire Survivors.
How to evolve the Short Gun in Vampire Survivors to unlock Ariana
The only way to unlock Ariana in Vampire Survivors is by evolving the Short Gun into Prototype B. Evolving weapons works a bit differently in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns. But before we get to that, here is the path you need to take to get access to the Short Gun and Ariana.
- Unlock Bill Rizer
- Evolve the Long Gun to unlock Lance Bean
- Survive 15 minutes with Lance Bean to unlock the Short Gun
- Evolve the Short Gun into Prototype B to unlock Ariana
The reason it’s important to unlock the Short Gun by surviving 15 minutes with Lance Bean is because with the weapon unlocked, you can choose to level it up when you level up. This will make evolving the Short Gun, which is the only requirement to unlock Ariana, much easier.
What is the Short Gun evolution in Vampire Survivors?
While I recommend you look at our guide detailing all the weapons and evolutions for all the Vampire Survivors Operation Guns DLC, I can make your life easier by telling you the secret to evolving the Short Gun. What you need to do is get Short Gun to level eight, get Bracer to level eight, and pick up a Weapon Power-Up on Neo Galuga.
If you do those three things, you’ll evolve Short Gun into Prototype B and unlock Ariana. It’s as simple, and as complicated, as that. Note that this will take time, but it’s the only way to unlocking Lucia which is how you unlock Hectic Highway and progress toward unlocking more characters.
