๐Ÿ“– About Hats in Megabonk

Hats are purely cosmetic items that let you customize your character's appearance. They were introduced in the v1.0.64 "H A T S" update on January 25, 2026, which added 21 new hats. The Wizard's Hat was added earlier in the 2025 Christmas patch.

Each hat is unlocked by completing a specific achievement or challenge. Some are easy to obtain, while others require significant time investment or mastery of specific characters and weapons.
