While there are some Vampire Survivors Operation Guns characters you unlock by defeating certain enemies, many like Ariana are obtained by running through and upgrading the weapon of another notable character. So if you want her, you need to get and max out Lance Bean.
How do I unlock Ariana in Vampire Survivors Operation Guns?
Basically, there’s a whole sequence of things to follow. First, you need to go through Neo Galuga once and reach the coffin at the far northeast side of the map to unlock Bill Rizer.
Once you have Bill Rizer, you should go through Neo Galuga as him and evolve his Long Gun weapon. Surviving for 15 minutes unlocks the weapon for everyone, while upgrading it gets you Lance.
From there, go through Neo Galuga again as Lance. This time, your goal is to upgrade the Short Gun. Surviving for 15 minutes as him unlocks the Short Gun for everyone, while evolving the Short Gun unlocks Ariana.
Ariana costs 530 gold in the Character Selection screen. She comes equipped with the Spread Shot. To unlock the Spread Shot for all characters as a possible weapon, you need to survive for 15 minutes as her.
Vampire Survivors and the Operation Guns DLC are available on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices.
