If you haven't heard of Megabonk by now, there's a chance that you've been living on a rock. No, that's not me being superfluous; at the time of writing, it's the most viewed video game on Twitch.

People everywhere are going crazy for what's essentially the 3D version of Vampire Survivors. The auto-attacking shoot 'em up roguelike works tremendously well in the 3D-platforming space, offering new challenges ot overcome while still offering the same, addictive gameplay you know and love. Even those that didn't see the appeal of Vampire Survivors are getting hooked on the action!

As you can expect with any roguelike, the key to a successful run is maximizing your build. In Megabonk, there are three things you'll acquire during each run: weapons, tomes, and items.

This guide will cover items, specifically what they are, what they do, and how to unlock them.
