Newt, a recent addition to Vampire Survivors in the Operation Guns DLC, is not just another character. Armed with Diver Mines, Newt can effortlessly annihilate swarms of enemies, making them a force to be reckoned with. If you’re eager to take advantage of this unique power, here’s a guide on how to unlock Newt in Vampire Survivors and make him your main character.
How to get Newt in Vampire Survivors
To get Newt in Vampire Survivors, you must embark on an exciting and challenging quest to find 28 grenades in Neo Galuga. So what are grenades in Vampire Survivors? Grenades are one of several power-ups that can be obtained by shooting flying drones on the Neo Galuga map. Although they are random, you can easily find one due to their high rarity rate. So look for these flying drones and take them to look for grenades.
Sometimes, you can also find them randomly on the ground. You can quickly identify them by their like a rocket appearance. Walk on them to collect and use the power of the grenades. If you’re wondering what a grenade does, it immediately eliminates all enemies on your screen, giving you some respite in very close situations.
Once you have collected 28 such grenades, you will unlock Newt in Vampire Survivors. Remember, even though the objective says to find 28 grenades, it is always better to collect them instead of just finding/locating them to be safer.
Best Merman Equipment in Vampire Survivors
Although you can create various loadouts for Newt, I highly recommend including Holy water In each one. Both diver mines (Newt’s default weapon) and Santa Water require the same buff:attractor—for evolution, making your life much easier in the later games. Considering that aspect and the weapon mechanic of Diver Mines, I suggest you use the following version for Newt.
Weapons
- Dive Mines (default)
- Magic wand
- Axe
- Lightning Ring
- Bible
- Holy water
Passive benefits
- attractor
- Duplicator
- chandelier
- Fascinating speaker
- I take empty
