Fresh off of releasing the massive mod's first DLC earlier this week, the team behind Fallout: London have confirmed that they've still got no plans to port it to the next-gen update version of Fallout 4. There is, however, one factor that could lead them to reconsider doing so.

Since Team FOLON's take on a post-apocalytic English capital released last summer, playing it has required downgrading your copy of Fallout 4 to an older iteration released prior to April 2024's next-genning of Bethesda's RPG. With the next-gen update arriving out of the blue just ahead of Fallout: London's planned initial release, the modders opted to put it out on this older version for stability reasons, following a delay that allowed them to explore their options.

Players facing enemies in Megabonk with a sword in hand

Megabonk offers different characters to use in the game, and not all of them are built the same.

Your choices will be minimal when you're just starting. You can unlock more characters by completing specific in-game conditions. Some of them are naturally stronger than the remaining choices, and this tier list will help you to settle on the best options.

Table of contents

Complete Megabonk character tier list

To classify the characters, I have used three different tiers.

  • S-tier represents the best set of characters, who are extremely strong in the meta.

  • A-tier represents strong characters who can do well in the hands of players who understand their kits.

  • B-tier represents average characters who are helpful in niche situations.

  • C-tier represents the weakest characters in the current meta.

S-tier

  • Calcium: One of the most complex characters to master, Calcium can hit multiple enemies with the same shot. For building, it's best to go full damage to make his Bones more powerful. His passive also automatically increases his speed over time. Alternatively, you can also power up his speed slightly.

  • CL4NK: The best character in the game, and he can dish out massive damage quickly. It's best to go with a hybrid of crit and damage as a build.

  • Megachad: Arguably the tankiest character in the game, Megachad is perfect for completing the AFK challenge. You can improve his shield and damage for better results.

  • Robinette: Pure DPS by abilities, you'll do well to use a tome that improves her Gold income per level, as that will also increase her damage. You should also buff her crit.

  • Dicehead: Dicehead is one of the most broken characters in the current meta, and it's easy to build him up. Just go full crit and damage, and that will be enough.

A-Tier

  • Sir Oofie: While Sir Oofie is slow, he is beginner-friendly and a good starter pick for all. You should aim to improve his attack speed to make him last longer.

  • Ninja: While speed is no problem for Ninja, I will put a shield on him personally. Alternatively, you can go full damage and crit build if you want to one-shot enemies.

  • Bush: Bush is a typical sniper who excels at precise shots. You should aim well and buff his damage and critical chance with the correct tomes.

  • Ogre: Ogre is an all-rounder who doesn't specialize in anything specific. I feel it's just best to go with a complete damage build for him, as that will buff up all his all-around skills.

B-tier

There is not much to say about B- and C-tier characters. You can go with them, but the names on the tiers above are better across all situations.

  • Athena: Athena is a great tank, but her playstyle is slightly clunky. You'll consistently have to be in the face of your enemies, which can sometimes be a problem.

  • Noelle: Noelle might be an amazing mage, but her signature weapon (Frostwalker) requires you to get close to enemies. Unlocking her also requires you to complete some complex tasks.

  • Tony McZoom: McZoom has good speed and movement, but feels clunky. Wireless Dagger is a hard weapon to master, and there are better ranged characters (like CL4NK, for example).

  • Amog: If you love to do tonnes of poison damage, go for Amog. His Poison Flask weapon might not have range, but it stacks heaps of poison. However, he is a character who does damage over time (rather than being direct), and this playstyle can be slightly tricky to master.

  • Birdo: Birdo is fun, and he can float in the air. However, the movement mechanics have always confused me, putting him at the low tier.

  • Vlad: Vlad is definitely stronger on paper than he is in reality. His blood magic abilities are fun, though, and try him out if you don't care about the meta.

  • Fox: As a starter character, Fox is easy to master. However, his kit is limited, and ranged characters have better alternatives.

  • Monke: The only reason Monke is this low is the high skill ceiling. Monke offers the best vertical mobility of all characters, and he can reach positions on the map where enemies can't hurt you. However, he is an extremely tough character to master.

C-tier

  • Sir Chadwell: Sir Chadwell feels inferior to Sir Oofie in every aspect, and his unlock condition isn't the easiest.

  • Spaceman: If you're playing in the Forest, Spaceman's Moon Gravity allows you to escape enemies quite easily. However, the effectiveness of it goes down against harder enemies.

  • Bandit: Bandit is just a character that does alright, but doesn't necessarily shine in one department.

To use more characters (apart from Sir Oofie), you'll need to unlock them.

Players running from enemies in Megabonk

Megabonk offers plenty of items to utilize with your builds, some of which work well with any character, weapon, or tome.

The number of items at the start is somewhat limited, but you get more options as you complete different challenges, quests, and more. You can add the items with Silver, which can pop up inside the game.

This guide will help you understand which items are the best to equip on your run.

Table of contents

Complete Megabonk items tier list

To separate the items, I have used four distinct tiers.

  • S-tier items work well with almost any character and weapon.

  • A-tier items work well with most characters and weapons.

  • B-tier items have niche scenarios, but their effects fall off quickly.

  • C-tier items have particular use-case scenarios at best.

Items in Megabonk

S-tier

  • Beefy Ring: A must-have for any tank build since damage scales up with the max HP. Your character benefits from a higher HP pool and more damage.

  • Forbidden Juice: I love crit builds, and Forbidden Juice provides +10% crit chance. This is the best item for any build that focuses on improving crit damage. It's a must-have item if you want to use a build with guaranteed crit hits.

  • Gym Sauce: Works well with any build as the item provides +10% damage to every hit. This is one of the most universal items in the game that is useful for every character.

  • Overpowered Lamp: Provides extra proc chance on hits and helps scale up elemental attacks. It's a valuable item, as most weapons inside the game deal elemental damage.

  • Moldy Cheese: High poison chance that works well on mobs and bosses alike. Even if you're not using a character like Amog, inflicting poison stacks on enemies is one of the best ways to cause damage over time.

  • Turbo Socks: Works great with slower champions, thanks to +15% movement speed. It's a noticeable boost, especially for tank characters who aren't mobile.

  • Za Warudo: What can be better than freezing time, and all enemies alongside! It can help you to get out of tough spots when mobs have swarmed you. You can finish the enemies before the time freeze is over.

  • Holy Book: You get extra max HP and regen; healing now translates into damage to nearby enemies.

  • Anvil: All weapon (yes, all) upgrades will offer +1 stats. This is typically an item you'll want to have before approaching the late-game phase, as weapon scale-ups can feel slightly weak against more formidable enemies.

A-tier

  • Turbo Skates: Converts speed to attack speed, and works well with movement speed-focused builds. This item forms a good combo with Turbo Socks, as it directly converts the speed buffs the socks provide.

  • Clover: Increases overall luck, leading to better tomes and items. This item works in the same fashion as the Luck Tome and is beneficial if you're looking for that extra bit of luck.

  • Lightning Orb: The best item in the game regarding AoE damage and stuns affected enemies. If you use the Lightning Staff, this item is a must-have, but it can work well with any projectile-focused build.

  • Spicy Meatball: Add extra damage to your hits with explosions. The explosions provide AoE damage and help to clear swarms in the later parts of your run.

  • Chonkplate: Offers Lifesteal, and extra healing converts to overheal, leading to boosted temporary health. Chonkplate, when used in the right builds, will allow you to heal the damage dealt by enemies instantly.

  • Phantom Shroud: Adds the ability to evade bonus damage and raises movement speed. Another item that works well with slower characters and adds a bit of survivability on the side.

  • Soul Harvester: Generate homing souls with every kill.

  • Shattered Knowledge: You can use the XP shards to damage enemies. This is an item that is useful in any stage of your run. The more XP you gain, the more damage you'll deal.

  • Toxic Barrel: Works well with other items and weapons that require Poison damage. This item releases toxic waste when you take damage, poisoning all nearby enemies. This item has a good synergy with Amog.

B-tier

There's not much to add about the B-tier and C-tier choices. In short, I have added my opinions about the names on the B-tier if you fancy using them in your runs.

  • Big Bonk: When it lands, it does 20x damage. But the chance of that happening is 2% (no typos here).

  • Power Gloves: The blast procs are random, but the chances are too low for my liking. If you want fun on your run, the Power Gloves is a good Legendary-tier item to have.

  • Golden Glove: While earning +15% gold from killing enemies is useful, the boost is relatively low for my liking.

  • Golden Sneakers: S-tier with Agility-focused builds, but not much use if you're not moving enough. You'll want good movement speed to roam the map and earn money. Stationary builds won't be able to max out this item.

  • Mirror: Handy against bosses due to the small invulnerability and reflects hits, but not much use elsewhere.

  • Eagle Claw: S-tier against airborne enemies due to 66% damage. It also offers 8% chance to push the enemy into the air. The usage scenario is very niche.

  • Gas Mask: Very good with poison-focused build, as you'll gain Armor and Lifesteal. The main limitation is with the fact that not every character will benefit from the buffs.

  • Joe's Dagger: Fun item, but there are better alternatives. This item has 1% chance to Execute an enemy, and raise your damage by 1% in the process. The odds of Execute are too low for this item to shine.

  • Slutty Cannon: Would have been a higher tier if the chances of spawning missiles (20%) were higher. Works well with ranged characters like CL4NK, but don't go for it if you don't like relying on RNG.

  • Sucky Magnet: Drags in XP around you, but not optimal for all builds. Works with characters that are typically slow.

C-tier

  • Brass Knuckles: This item deals +20% damage, but only to nearby enemies. In short, the usage value goes down with every ranged character.

  • Tactical Glasses: Deals +20% damage but only to enemies with 90% or higher health. The added damage isn't very useful for elite enemies and feels redundant for weak mobs.

  • Slurp Gloves: While the ability of this item (damage nearby enemies and healing you for 7.5%) is helpful, it has a 9s cooldown. The cooldown is a tad too long for the item to function consistently.

  • Leeching Crystal: You trade off your HP Regen for Max HP. The item could work with certain builds, but I don't like reducing HP Regen.

  • Golden Shield: You get extra gold when you take damage, but to succeed, you'll want to prevent taking damage at all.

  • Idle Juice: You do more damage by standing still, which is something you'll rarely want to do.

  • Campfire: To get the heals, you'll have to stand still, which feels like a hindrance in the late-game stages.
