Vampire Survivors is always generous with content, and the Operation Guns DLC is no exception. There are so many new characters, so let me show you how to unlock Stanley in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns.
How to find 21 RapidFires in Vampire Survivors to unlock Stanley
Stanley has an unusual unlock requirement, as you need to collect 21 Rapid Fire powerups to get him.
Rapid Fire powerups only appear on the Contra collab stage, Neo Galuga, and you can see what they look like in the picture above.
Fortunately, Rapid Fire seems to appear pretty frequently, so it shouldn’t take too long to unlock the character. While exploring the map, I found several Rapid Fire powerups on the ground.
These powerups also drop from the silver item pods that occasionally show up. You need to shoot these to open them, but they don’t take much punishment. Once you’ve collected 21 Rapid Fire powerups, you can play until the end or just quit through the pause menu to unlock Stanley.
You can find him on the character list as usual, and he can be used anywhere in the game.
What does Rapid Fire do in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns?
While I don’t have the exact numbers, Rapid Fire unsurprisingly increases how fast your weapons shoot. This buff doesn’t last forever, and you can tell it’s active as the ground by your character’s feet glows red and orange.
Neo Galuga is pretty tough early on, as many enemies are surprisingly tanky. Rapid Fire doesn’t guarantee a win against formidable foes, but it will certainly help.
While you’re exploring Neo Galuga, make sure to head to the far northeast corner of the map. You’ll find a coffin there and an easy unlock for one of the many new characters in the expansion.
