Vampire Survivors released Operation Guns, its Contra DLC. It adds a ton of new content, so here’s a guide to unlock all the characters, weapons, and evolutions in this DLC.

This update also releases close to a free update that adds one new character, two new weapons, and a secret character.

Vampire Survivors 1.10 Secret Character Gyoruntin Guide

The secret character added in this free update is “Gyoruntin.” The hint to unlocking this character says to “forsake victory in favor of sightseeing” in the Carlo Cart map.

First, you need to unlock the Carlo Cart map. This is done by dealing 25,120 damage using the Train in the Laborratory map. After spawning, head down to the train tracks and run into the levers. This will cause the train to spawn and run over your enemies. You can do this as many times as needed to satisfy the requirement.

You can “forsake victory in favor of sightseeing” in the Carlo Cart map by going left instead of right as the map scrolls. If you do it for a long enough time, the Gyoruntin coffin will eventually spawn. You can interact with it once you beat all of the mini-bosses that spawn. Note that if you have the map on Inverse, you will have to go right instead.

Alternatively, you can use the Spell “secondevolution” to unlock him.
