Wanderburg modules: costs and unlock paths

Quick answer: some modules are bought with Silver; others require progress with an earlier module. Buying an unlock makes it available during runs—it does not mean every run immediately contains it.

First purchases and unlock paths

The following selected requirements come from Arka Sarkar's September 9 module guide. They are launch-week reported values, not independently checked game data.

The same guide lists Cannon, Ram, Top Mortar and Mine Layer as available by default. Check the unlock screen before spending: these requirements describe access, not a promise that a module is the strongest option.

Match the unlock to the problem

Choose one route before a run. If you want to explore teleporting, work on Dash rather than spreading attention across unrelated unlocks. If you want a troop build, Side Barracks provides a concrete progression target toward Front Barracks. This is a planning suggestion based on the requirements above.

What launch hotfixes changed

The developer's notes confirm that module balance moved after release:

Those notes verify changes, not the entire unlock table. Avoid comparing a pre-launch demonstration directly with a patched run. Continue with captain trade-offs or the build plans.
