- Squirrel with a Gun secret bunker all collectibles are split across acorns, reload wedges, garments, and photo filters.
- Golden Acorns in the bunker use red-target puzzles, platforming, and later weapon upgrades.
- Reload Wedges are placed along the opening route and near the bunker’s highest platforms.
- Garments require revisiting the bunker after completing the tutorial and defeating specific agents.
- Best route: collect the early items first, then return with the Minigun for the upper platforms.
Squirrel with a Gun Secret Bunker All Collectibles Overview
The Secret Bunker is one of the earliest areas where exploration, target puzzles, and weapon-assisted movement begin to overlap. A first visit can reveal most of the lower collectibles, but the highest Golden Acorn and the final Reload Wedge require the Minigun. Plan on making at least one return trip if you want to clear the area efficiently.
The bunker contains five Golden Acorns, three Reload Wedges, three garment rewards, and one photo filter. Some rewards are visible from the main path, while others sit beneath platforms or above the room’s normal traversal height.
| Collectible type | Total in Secret Bunker | Main requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Acorns | 5 | Red targets, platforming, Minigun |
| Reload Wedges | 3 | Exploration, Minigun for the highest one |
| Garments | 3 | Tutorial completion, agent encounters |
| Photo Filters | 1 | 200 acorns and any gun |
First Visit
- Collect the lower acorns and the first two Reload Wedges.
- Activate red targets whenever they appear.
- Inspect platforms before moving to the next room.
Return Visit
- Bring the Minigun for the upper bunker route.
- Reach the fifth Golden Acorn and final Reload Wedge.
- Check the top-left section for the photo filter.
Reward Cleanup
- Complete the tutorial before hunting the agent garments.
- Defeat the two agents in the second room.
- Spend acorns only after checking your remaining requirements.
Treat the Secret Bunker as a two-pass area. The first pass gathers accessible items, while the Minigun pass cleans up high platforms without repeated detours.
Golden Acorn Locations and Requirements
The five Golden Acorns are arranged through the bunker’s main rooms. The first four can be reached without a special weapon, although a gun makes several jumps more comfortable. The fifth acorn is positioned at the top of the room and specifically calls for the Minigun.
| Golden Acorn | Area landmark | Requirement | Key action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top Secret Acorn | Center of the room | None | Hit every red target to remove the shield |
| Scorching Walkway | Left-side platform near targets | None; gun helps | Cross to the nearby platform |
| Polecat… Err... Polesquirrel | Triple-jump tutorial section | None | Turn around after entering the tutorial segment |
| Hiding Underneath | Beneath the Minigun purchase platform | None | Drop below the platform and search underneath |
| Tippy Top Secret Acorn | Highest part of the room | Minigun | Use the Minigun to reach the upper platform |
Top Secret Acorn
The first acorn sits in the center of a room behind a protective shield. The shield disappears only after all red targets have been activated. Search the room methodically rather than attacking randomly: targets may be positioned at different heights and angles.
Use any object or weapon that can trigger the targets. Once the final target is activated, return to the center platform and collect Top Secret Acorn.
Scorching Walkway
From the target room, look toward the left side. The acorn rests on another platform near the red-target sequence. A firearm can help with the jump, but the item is available without a dedicated weapon requirement.
This is an easy collectible to miss if you continue directly through the bunker. Before leaving the target room, check the left platform and nearby ledges.
Polecat… Err... Polesquirrel
Continue until the tutorial introduces the gun-assisted triple jump. When the tutorial places you in position to continue, turn around instead. The acorn is visible behind you on the left side of the route.
This collectible is designed to reward players who inspect the previous section before following the tutorial forward.
Hiding Underneath
The fourth acorn is below the platform where the Minigun can be purchased. Move around the lower edge of that structure and look underneath it. The acorn is not located on the main walking surface, so it may be hidden by the platform geometry.
Tippy Top Secret Acorn
The final acorn is at the top of the room. Return after obtaining the Minigun, then use its movement boost to climb toward the highest section. Take your time lining up each jump because falling can send you back to a lower platform.
The fifth Golden Acorn cannot be collected during a normal low-level run. If the upper route is out of reach, mark the room and return with the Minigun instead of wasting time on risky jumps.
Reload Wedges: Main Route and Upper Platform
Reload Wedges are easier to overlook because they are smaller than Golden Acorns and often blend into the bunker’s industrial platforms. Two are available during the early route, while the third is placed near the final high-level acorn.
| Reload Wedge | Location | Requirement | Navigation note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 of 3 | Beneath the first platform | None | Check below the opening platform |
| 2 of 3 | Right-side path after the first red target | None | Follow the descending acorn route |
| 3 of 3 | Upper section near the final acorn | Minigun | Reach the highest platform area |
Wedge 1 of 3
At the beginning of the bunker, inspect the underside of the first platform. The wedge is positioned below the normal eye line, so walk to the edge and angle the camera downward before advancing.
Collecting this wedge early prevents a common cleanup problem: forgetting the opening platform after reaching the deeper rooms.
Wedge 2 of 3
After reaching the first red target, follow the route that descends on the right. The path resembles the nearby acorn route and leads away from the most obvious forward direction.
Look for a small platform or ledge rather than searching the floor. If you pass the target sequence and remain on the main route, turn back and check the right-hand descent.
Wedge 3 of 3
The final wedge is near the fifth Golden Acorn at the top of the bunker. It requires the same Minigun-assisted traversal used for the upper acorn. Once you reach the highest section, sweep the surrounding platforms before returning to the main path.
A useful cleanup pattern is to collect the wedge first, then move directly toward Tippy Top Secret Acorn while you are already positioned high in the room.
Secure the Opening Wedge
Drop your view below the first platform and collect Reload Wedge 1 of 3 before progressing.
Follow the Right-Hand Descent
After the first red target, take the descending path on the right to find Reload Wedge 2 of 3.
Unlock the Minigun Route
Continue through the bunker until the Minigun becomes available, then return to the upper room.
Sweep the Highest Platforms
Use the Minigun to reach Reload Wedge 3 of 3 and check the nearby upper ledges.
The final Reload Wedge and fifth Golden Acorn are close together. Collect them during the same Minigun return visit to avoid repeating the upper platform route.
Garments and the Deep Fried Photo Filter
The Secret Bunker’s garments are tied to progression and agent encounters rather than difficult platforming. Two garments appear in the second room after the tutorial has been completed once, while the third is found in a suitcase near the start of the bunker.
| Reward | Location | Requirement | Unlock method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gangster Hat | Second room | 10 acorns | Defeat the first agent |
| Trench Coat | Second room | 10 acorns | Defeat the second agent |
| Eyepatch | Before the first crawl pole | None | Open the nearby suitcase |
| Deep Fried Filter | Top-left room section | 200 acorns, any gun | Reach the elevated suitcase |
Gangster Hat and Trench Coat
These two garments become available only after you have completed the tutorial once. During a later run, enter the second room and defeat both agents. The rewards appear after the encounters, so search the room again rather than assuming the items were added automatically.
Each garment requires 10 acorns. If one or both rewards do not appear, verify that the tutorial completion condition has been met and that you have enough acorns available for the unlock.
Eyepatch
The Eyepatch is placed inside a suitcase before the first pole-crawling section. It does not require acorns or a weapon. Check the suitcase before beginning the crawl, since the forward route makes it easy to overlook the nearby pickup.
Deep Fried Filter
The bunker’s photo filter is located in the top-left part of the room. It requires 200 acorns and any gun. Use elevated platforms and weapon-assisted movement to reach the suitcase.
Because the filter is separate from the upper acorn route, do not stop after collecting the fifth Golden Acorn. Scan the top-left side of the room before leaving.
The Gangster Hat and Trench Coat are conditional rewards. Complete the tutorial once, return to the second room, defeat both agents, and then confirm that each 10-acorn unlock is available.
Recommended Collection Order and Final Checklist
A clean route minimizes backtracking and separates requirements by progression stage. Start with items that need no special equipment, then return once with the Minigun for the elevated rewards.
