How To Unlock Every Metal Slug Tactics Weapon And Loadout

In this tactical, team-based warzone, you're only as good as the weapons you have on hand

Metal Slug Tactics is all about creating the perfect run, getting synergy going with all your characters, their weapons, and their modifications. You’ll choose your team at the beginning of every mission, but each character also has four loadouts available to them, so there’s a lot of potential for interesting combinations.

To unlock all four loadouts, you’ll need to complete certain prerequisites and/or save up some cash. Be on the lookout for the silver or golden coin emblems on missions to see where you can stock up, and refuse any weapon mods you get after completing a level (if they don’t work towards your best skills) to get a little extra spending money.

First, before you can unlock weapons for each character, you’ll need to unlock the proper character, so check out our character unlock guide for details on that. Once you have the right character available, you’ll need to check the Barracks at home base to unlock new stuff. Read on for details (since you can’t even see how to unlock weapons and loadouts on characters you don’t have).
