Here’s the full list of weapons in Vampires Survivors: Operation Guns DLC, how to evolve them, and their effects. All weapon evolutions require you to get the new Weapon Power-Up item and have both components at level eight. The Weapon-Power Up is a requirement to upgrade the weapon that will evolve, and this happens at random. It means that even if you have all three components, you might not get a weapon evolution from a chest if the Weapon-Power Up didn’t upgrade the one you need.

How to get more Weapon Power-Ups in Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns DLC

The only guaranteed way to get the Weapon Power-Up to evolve your Operation Guns weapons is by finding them on the floor around the maps. Chapter four, Operation: Gun City, has the most Weapon Power-Ups on the floor (a total of three). So, if you want to unlock these weapons as soon as possible, your best shot is on this map, though it may take some time to get there since you first have to clear the previous chapters.

You can also be offered Weapon Power-Ups as a level-up item, though I found them rare. I still highly recommend opening your map and looking for an icon of a steel handbag and heading in that direction because that’s where you’ll find this item.
