How to unlock Phas3r and Photonstorm in Vampire Survivors

Vampire Survivors sometimes feels like the gift that keeps on giving. If we’re not getting free new characters, it’s weapons instead. Let me help you add to your arsenal and show you how to unlock Phas3r and Photonstorm in Vampire Survivors.

How to get the Photonstorm and Phas3r in Vampire Survivors

There are a few prerequisites to unlocking the Phas3r, which you can EVO into the Photonstorm. First, you must unlock the Space 54 level, which is earned by collecting 5 Gold Fingers. Once you have the Gold Fingers, Space 54 will be on your stage list, and you can find the Phas3r on the map. If you’ve already obtained 5 Gold Fingers, enter and exit any stage, and Space 54 should appear.

If you want to turn the Phas3r into the Photonstorm, you can combine it with the Empty Tome Passive Item. Like many weapons, you’ll unlock the Phas3r for use in every other stage when it reaches level 7.

How to get Gold Fingers in Vampire Survivors

Depending on how far you’ve progressed through Vampire Survivors, you might never have seen a Gold Finger before. Gold Fingers have a low chance of dropping from Light Sources in the Astral Stair stage. While I don’t have the exact numbers, Gold Fingers seem to be the rarest drop from Light Sources, so you’ll have to be patient to find five. 

Once you’re familiar with the Astral Stair stage, you can grab the Trisection Relic there to enable the Gold Finger to appear in every stage. Alternatively, you can unlock Trisection from the Secrets page with the code haeralisploy.
