How to Increase Difficulty in Megabonk

Gamers who want to farm XP and level up faster will want to increase the rate that which enemies appear on the map. Therefore, in these cases, gamers can invest in drops that increase their run’s difficulty.

In Megabonk, players can increase difficulty at a Greed Shrine or a Charge Shrine. At the Greed Shrine, gamers only have to approach the skull on the stick and interact with it; this immediately increases difficulty by 5 percent. At the Charge Shrine, they have to stand near it to activate it and then hope that the Gain Difficulty option appears, as it is up to RNG. If the option appears, gamers can gain 8 percent difficulty.
