Balatro: A Complete Guide to Unlocking All Vouchers
In the game Balatro, players can acquire Vouchers from the shop between Blinds. These items can significantly influence your gameplay experience, although not all of them are initially available. Some Vouchers require specific conditions to be met before they can be purchased, creating a sense of mystery regarding how to unlock them.
In this comprehensive guide, we will explore methods to unlock every Voucher, detailing their effects and benefits to help refine your strategy and maximize your success in the game.
Purchasing Upgraded Vouchers in Balatro
There are a total of 32 Vouchers in Balatro, out of which 16 are common and accessible from the start. The remaining 16 Vouchers are upgraded variants that are locked initially, requiring players to first purchase the basic version. Once the base Voucher is acquired, there’s a possibility that the upgraded variant will appear in future shop visits, but availability isn’t guaranteed.
For instance, obtaining the Grabber Voucher may lead to the Nacho Tong variant being available later on. Patience and a bit of luck are essential here as not every initial purchase guarantees an upgraded appearance in subsequent shops.
