How to unlock Stanley in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns

Did you Unlock Stanley in Vampire Survivors?

Stanley is one of the most formidable characters in the Vampire Survivors Operation Guns DLC Update. His power lies in his base weapon, a missile that automatically locks onto any nearby enemy, eliminating the need for precise aiming. This unique ability makes him a must-have for any serious player. Here's a comprehensive guide on unlocking Stanley in Vampire Survivors and some loadout suggestions to maximize his potential.

How to get Stanley in Vampire Survivors 

Now, let's address the challenge of unlocking Stanley in Vampire Survivors. This requires collecting 21 Rapid Fire Powerups scattered around Neo Galuga. If you're unfamiliar with RapidFires or Neo Galuga, don't worry; we've got you covered.

Neo Galuga is the latest level to feature in the Vampire Survivors. After selecting your character, you can automatically jump into the level. After hopping inside, I recommend you collect the Map Relic, which usually spawns in the middle of the first or second bridge. Even though this step is not mandatory, it will help you move around Neo Galuga much more quickly.

Now, play like usual, and you will stumble upon flying drones like the above image. These are newly added random powerups in the game, which, upon shooting, will give you random powers like the Rapid Fire. You can quickly identify the Random Fire by the R Symbol.

Explore your map to find Rapid Fire Powerups. It will take 5 to 10 runs to collect 21 Rapid Fire in the game. Once you have 21 RapidFires, you will automatically unlock Stanely in the game.

Best Stanley Loadout in Vampire Survivors

Though you can mold Stanley to your playstyle, I highly recommend using the Lightning Ring and his Missile for a more accessible evolution. Both items require a Duplicator, making your build even more powerful. Below is an excellent and ideal build for Stanley in Vampire Survivors.

Weapons

  • Homing Missle 
  • Lightning Ring 
  • Garlic 
  • Santa Water 
  • Fire Wand 
  • Magic Wand

Passive Perks

  • Duplicator
  • Spinach
  • Hollow Heart
  • Pummarola
  • Attractorb
  • Empty Tome

Remember, to evolve your homing missile; you would require another item called Weapon Power Up besides your duplicator. Like the RapidFires, you can find the Weapon Power Up throughout the map. Look for the Grey Metal Suitcase symbol to find one.
