Bush is a hidden unlockable character that requires defeating a special boss encounter first. Unlike standard characters available from the start, Bush must be earned through exploration and combat prowess.
Can you fight Bush without unlocking Sniper Rifle?
No. You must unlock the Sniper Rifle weapon before Bush becomes available as a playable character. This requires leveling Precision Tome to Level 10 and purchasing the weapon from the shop using Silver coins.
Is Bush difficult to find?
Yes and No. While Bush appears in any Forest tier (1, 2, or 3), you need to locate a specific “Sus Bush” interaction prompt. Many players miss this hidden encounter simply by rushing through forest areas without thoroughly exploring clearings and dense vegetation.
This boss fight combines exploration, preparation, and skill execution. You’re not just battling a tough enemy—you’re hunting for a hidden encounter that rewards strategic thinking. Here’s what you need to know:
- 12,500 HP boss fight requiring patience and proper positioning
- Explosive attack patterns that punish poor spacing
- Long-range sniper mechanics demanding constant movement
- A-tier character unlock with recently buffed abilities
- Unique explosive passive that clears enemy packs instantly
Whether you’re struggling to locate the Sus Bush or getting demolished by explosive blasts, this Bush Guide walks you through every step—from initial unlock requirements to advanced combat tactics that guarantee victory.
🔍 How to Find the Suspicious Bush
When you spot an odd prompt saying “Sus Bush” instead of normal text, you’ve found your target. This special marker only shows up near Bush’s hidden spot.
We need to search every Forest area with care. The Bush boss hides in Forest tier 1, 2, or 3 zones. Dense tree clusters and secret clearings are where we’ll find success. I always take my time checking each corner before moving forward. Rush through too fast and you’ll miss the chance entirely.
The Sus Bush won’t appear right away in your run. You must explore for several minutes first. I’ve learned that thorough map coverage beats speed every time. Check behind large trees and near water sources. These spots often hide the best secrets.
Before shaking that bush, make sure your build is ready. We can’t stress this enough - preparation wins this fight. Your health bar should be full or nearly topped off. Weapons need high upgrade levels to deal enough damage. Grab defensive items like HP boost, Armor pieces, and Lifesteal effects. Movement speed helps dodge incoming attacks during combat.
Here’s what I pack before the encounter:
- Upgraded weapons at maximum level possible
- Full health restoration items ready
- Armor and defense boosts equipped
- Speed items for better dodging
- Lifesteal for sustained fighting
The moment you press interact (E key), the battle starts. No turning back once Bush emerges from hiding. The area around you becomes the arena. Position yourself with space to move in all directions. I always clear nearby enemies first so they won’t interfere.
Pro tip: Mark your map when you see the Sus Bush prompt. If you’re not ready yet, you can return later with better gear. The location stays fixed during your run.
🔓 Unlock Requirements
Your first task involves the Precision Tome item. Level it up to rank 10 through normal gameplay. This tome improves accuracy and unlocks the Sniper Rifle weapon. I grind this out in earlier runs before attempting the boss fight. Focus on picking up Precision Tome whenever it appears in shops or drops.
Once Precision Tome hits level 10, the Sniper Rifle unlocks in your weapon pool. Head to Main Menu and click the Unlocks section. You’ll see the Sniper Rifle listed there. Purchase it using Silver coins from your account balance. Without this purchase, defeating Bush won’t unlock him as playable.
Here’s the complete unlock sequence:
| Step | Action Required | Resource Needed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Level Precision Tome to 10 | Regular gameplay time |
| 2 | Buy Sniper Rifle in shop | Silver coins |
| 3 | Defeat Bush in combat | Strong build + skill |
| 4 | Collect free chest drop | None |
| 5 | Purchase Bush character | Silver coins |
After winning the boss fight, a free chest drops with rewards. Grab it before your run ends. When the run finishes, return to Main Menu and open Unlocks again. Bush appears as a buyable character option. Spend Silver coins to add him to your roster.
Common mistake: Players defeat the boss but forget to buy Sniper Rifle beforehand. This blocks character unlock completely. Double-check your weapon purchases before hunting Sus Bush.
The Silver coin cost isn’t too steep. Most players earn enough through a few successful runs. I suggest saving up coins before starting your Bush hunt. This ensures you can buy both the weapon and character without delays.
⚔️ Boss Fight Strategy
Constant side-to-side movement is your best defense. Never run straight toward or away from him. Zigzag patterns confuse his aim and keep you alive longer.
Bush fights with three main attack patterns we need to counter. His long-range precision shots hit hard when they connect. He positions himself far away and fires with scary accuracy. I dodge by moving left and right unpredictably. Standing still means instant damage.
His passive ability triggers massive explosions near groups of enemies. These blasts delete entire packs but also hurt you badly. Watch for visual warnings before explosions occur. Back away quickly when you see enemies clustering near Bush. The explosion radius is larger than you’d expect.
During repositioning phases, Bush moves to find better sniper angles. This creates our best opening for attacks. He’s vulnerable while relocating. I use these moments to close distance or heal up safely. Don’t waste this window - it won’t last long.
Maintain medium range throughout the entire fight. Too close puts you in explosion danger. Too far makes hitting him nearly impossible. Find that sweet spot where your weapons reach but explosions miss. This distance varies by weapon type.
With 12,500 HP, Bush takes time to defeat. We can’t rush this encounter. Survival beats speed every single time. Lifesteal and HP regen items become incredibly valuable. They let you sustain through the long battle without running out of health.
Ranged weapons work best against this boss:
- Firestaff - Safe distance with good damage
- Katana - Decent range with mobility
- Revolver - Consistent hits from afar
Melee weapons struggle here. Getting close enough to strike puts you in explosion range. I avoid melee builds entirely for this fight.
Watch enemy positions constantly. When enemies group near Bush, explosions are coming. Create space immediately. The damage can end your run instantly if you’re caught off guard. I keep one eye on Bush and one on nearby enemy clusters.
Strategy tip: Circle around Bush while maintaining your optimal range. This keeps you moving unpredictably while dealing steady damage. Patience and positioning win this battle.
🎮 Bush Character Profile
The Sniper Rifle serves as Bush’s starting weapon. This long-range tool deals heavy damage per shot. Each bullet counts, so aim carefully. The weapon rewards accuracy over spray-and-pray tactics. I love the satisfying feel of landing perfect shots.
Explosive Mastery is where Bush truly shines. His passive triggers huge blasts that clear entire enemy packs. These explosions require manual aim skill to use effectively. Position yourself correctly and watch enemies disappear in fiery bursts. The crowd control potential is devastating in skilled hands.
His playstyle focuses on three core elements:
- Long-range sniping - Pick off targets from safety
- Smart positioning - Stay at optimal distance always
- Explosive timing - Trigger blasts for maximum effect
The skill ceiling is high with this character. New players might struggle initially. However, mastering Bush feels incredibly rewarding. Game sense and precision separate good players from great ones.
Recent patch v1.0.7 buffed Bush significantly. His passive now correctly grants crit damage instead of crit chance. This bug fix made him much stronger. Explosion mechanics also improved for better consistency. He’s now considered A-tier by most players.
Best build items for Bush include:
- Max Sniper Rifle upgrades (damage and crit chance)
- Precision Tome (accuracy and crit damage boost)
- Critical Damage items (synergizes with his kit)
- Movement Speed (maintain proper range easier)
- Attack Speed secondary (more shots equal more explosions)
I prioritize crit-focused builds when playing Bush. Each critical hit triggers bigger explosions. Stack crit damage items and watch your DPS skyrocket. Movement speed helps maintain that crucial medium range throughout fights.
The character rewards patient, methodical gameplay. Don’t rush into enemy groups. Instead, position carefully and let explosions do the work. Think of yourself as a tactical sniper, not a frontline brawler.
💡 Pro Tips & Strategy
Wait until you’ve gathered strong items and upgraded weapons. Fighting in the first five minutes guarantees failure. I always spend at least ten minutes building up first.
Character selection matters hugely for this encounter. Fox with Firestaff excels thanks to ranged damage output. Ninja brings high damage plus evasion for dodging shots. CL4NK’s Revolver provides safe ranged attacks. Avoid melee-focused characters - they can’t maintain proper distance effectively.
Essential items before engaging Bush:
- HP regeneration for sustained healing
- Lifesteal to recover during combat
- Movement Speed for better dodging
- Armor to reduce incoming damage
These defensive stats help survive the 12,500 HP grind. Offensive builds fail without survivability backing them up. I always grab at least two defensive items before hunting Sus Bush.
Don’t rush the fight itself. Bush has tons of HP but isn’t overly aggressive. Take your time between attacks. Focus on perfect dodging over maximum DPS. Chip away at his health bar steadily. Patience wins every time.
Common mistakes players make:
❌ Fighting Bush too early without proper upgrades
❌ Using melee weapons and eating explosion damage
❌ Forgetting to unlock Sniper Rifle beforehand
❌ Standing still and taking full sniper damage
❌ Skipping Sniper Rifle shop purchase (blocks unlock)
Learn from these errors. I’ve seen countless runs end because players ignored preparation. The boss punishes carelessness harshly.
Kiting technique works wonders here. Move in circles around Bush while firing. This keeps you mobile and harder to hit. Maintain that medium range throughout your circles. Stop only to fire shots, then resume movement immediately.
Pro strategy: Clear the area of other enemies before shaking Sus Bush. This prevents distractions during the fight. You need full focus on Bush’s patterns. Extra enemies create chaos that gets you killed.
Watch your health bar constantly. Heal before it drops below half. Low health makes one mistake fatal. I keep healing items on quick-access keys for instant use.
