How to unlock all items in Brotato

Most items unlock from a single win condition: finish a run with the character listed in the item's unlock text. Use the filter Win with X above, click the character's build guide, and repeat on a Danger you can consistently clear. After that, the item can appear in shops and level-ups like any other item in its tier pool.

How to unlock all weapons in Brotato

Weapons follow the same pattern as items — almost every locked weapon is tied to a character win. Filter Weapons, pick your target, and route through that character's meta build page for weapons, stats and items.

How to unlock all characters in Brotato

Characters are a mix of Danger clears, lifetime kill counts, lifetime materials, one-off challenges and stat thresholds. Filter Characters and read the tip on each card — we link relevant stat guides when the unlock references a build-around stat.

Best order to unlock everything

  1. Clear Danger 0–2 early for core characters and economy.
  2. Knock out easy win-with-character item and weapon unlocks to widen your shop pool.
  3. Push Danger 3–5 when your build knowledge and item pool can support it.
  4. Let kill / material milestones tick passively while you play — they are cumulative across runs.

FAQ

How do you unlock items and weapons in Brotato?
Most items and weapons unlock by winning a full run with a specific character. Open the entry here — if it says “Win a run with X”, use our X build guide, clear any Danger you are comfortable on, and the item or weapon appears in future shops and drops.
Do I need Danger 5 to unlock everything?
No. Only the six Danger-gated characters require winning on Danger 0 through Danger 5 respectively. Item and weapon unlocks tied to “Win a run with X” can be done on any Danger where you can finish the run.
Are Brotato unlocks account-wide?
Yes. Once an item, weapon or character is unlocked, it stays available for all future runs on that save profile.
What is the fastest way to unlock everything?
Start with easy win-with-character unlocks on low Danger to expand your item pool, then push Danger 0–5 for the six characters those runs unlock. Parallel-track kill and material milestones passively while you play normally.
