Vampire Survivors: Legacy of the Bloodmoon – How to Unlock Every New Weapon

Unlock conditions for the DLC's weapons, plus the evolutions and Unions they feed into.

Unlock conditions for the DLC’s weapons, plus the evolutions and Unions they feed into.

The Legacy of the Bloodmoon expansion adds more than 15 weapons to Vampire Survivors, and nearly all of them are tied to the new Clan Bloodmoon characters. Most base weapons unlock by simply playing a character long enough, while a handful appear as random pickups inside the Red Moon Manor stage.

Quick answer: Buy the DLC, unlock the relevant character, then survive 15 minutes or more on a run with that character to earn their weapon. FireBall and FireWall are earned by leveling FireFall and FireBall to Level 6, while Candelabrador and Attractorb drop randomly in the Red Moon Manor.

Get the DLC first

The new weapons exist only inside the paid expansion, so you need it installed before anything will appear. Legacy of the Bloodmoon is priced at $0.99, matching the cheapest expansion the game has ever offered, and it requires the base version of Vampire Survivors to run. Once purchased, it downloads and enables automatically on your platform.


Every weapon unlock condition

The character-based weapons follow the same pattern. Unlock the character, then complete a run of at least 15 minutes with them. Malice is unlocked by opening the coffin inside the Red Moon Manor, which is the entry point for the earliest weapon in the set.

Scarlet NeedleUnlock Malice by opening the coffin in the Red Moon Manor, then survive 15 minutes or more on a run with her.

Blacken FirmamentUnlock Baal’Thasar and survive 15 minutes or more on a run with him.
CandelabradorFound randomly across the Red Moon Manor.
AttractorbFound randomly in the rooms of the Red Moon Manor.

The FireFall line stacks into itself. You unlock FireFall from Sargon, then pushing it to Level 6 grants FireBall, and pushing FireBall to Level 6 grants FireWall. These three later combine into a single Union, covered below.

Note: Candelabrador and Attractorb spawn at random locations across the Red Moon Manor, so expect them to take a few runs to appear. Some additional expansion weapons are also scattered across the map with random placement.

Weapon evolutions

Once a base weapon is unlocked, you can evolve it by maxing it out and holding the matching passive item during a run. Each pairing below produces a new evolved weapon.

Weapon Unions

Unions merge several unlocked weapons into a single stronger weapon during a run. Every weapon in a Union has to be unlocked first through its own requirement before the combination becomes available.

How to confirm a weapon unlocked

A newly unlocked weapon appears in your collection and becomes selectable in future runs. For character-based weapons, the unlock registers only once the survival timer passes the 15-minute mark on that specific character, so ending a run early or playing a different character will not trigger it.

Evolutions and Unions never carry over between runs. You have to rebuild the required weapons and items each time, and for evolutions you must reach the maximum level of the base weapon before the passive item completes the transformation. Since the character unlocks gate almost everything here, working through the Clan Bloodmoon roster inside the Red Moon Manor is the fastest route to filling out the full weapon list.
