Megabonk is on patch 1.0.69; public build data is 1.0.65

Use 1.0.69 for current official mechanics, keep 1.0.65 leaderboard builds historical, and read the H A T S fixes in their actual chronology.

Direct answer: the current official Megabonk version used by this site is 1.0.69. The latest public leaderboard build data is separately labeled 1.0.65, so it remains historical evidence rather than a current build database.

Current official version

1.0.69 is the current official context. The official H A T S announcement originally launched version 1.0.64, received a 1.0.65 hotfix dated Jan. 26, 2026, and was edited Feb. 4, 2026 with the 1.0.69 hotfix. A fact appearing in that announcement is not automatically a new 1.0.69 change; its section controls the chronology.

The 1.0.69 section includes these build-facing fixes:

  • Auto Leveling now gives the first tome level’s stats correctly.
  • HP Regen no longer has a cap of 1 per tick; sufficiently stacked healing or loss now stacks per tick as described by the official note.
  • Leeching Crystal now procs Megachad’s Flex.
  • Sheriff’s Hat can unlock during the final-boss fight.
  • Cheesy Hat can unlock on Forest as well as Desert.
  • Shady hat requirements were lowered.

These are official patch facts. They do not by themselves establish a character ranking, exact current build percentage, or universal best setup.

Latest public build-data version

1.0.65 is the latest version label visible on the cited public build page. Its character run counts and build patterns are observed historical data. This site may use them to form a testable shortlist, but not to claim that a 1.0.65 build is currently strongest on 1.0.69.

Before copying a public build, check:

  1. whether the page still says 1.0.65;
  2. whether the run target is score, kills, or a clear;
  3. whether current unlocks and in-game descriptions match the old setup; and
  4. whether the result has enough run evidence to be reproducible.

What changed for guide readers

Chronology Official fact How guide advice changes
1.0.64 initial H A T S release Fixed Dicehead’s passive triggering only once when multiple levels arrived together Do not describe that fix as a new 1.0.69 buff or use older bugged behavior as current evidence
1.0.64 initial release Fixed Joe’s Dagger execute sometimes doing no damage Separate this execute fix from the later 1.0.65 crazy-damage hotfix
1.0.64 initial release Added clearer Unlocks-tab stat and weapon guidance and fixed unlock UI overlap Send players to the in-game tab for exact requirements and current stat guidance
1.0.65 hotfix Fixed the Joe’s Dagger-related crazy-damage bug and the Shotgun Crit Damage upgrade giving 0% Treat affected leaderboard-era results cautiously and retire advice built around either bug
1.0.65 hotfix Fixed Top Hat unlocking on any stage Keep hat requirements tied to the version that changed them
1.0.69 hotfix Fixed first-tome Auto Leveling stats, HP Regen cap-per-tick behavior, and Leeching Crystal with Megachad’s Flex Recheck automation, regeneration, and Flex advice against the current fix before repeating old warnings
1.0.69 hotfix Fixed Sheriff’s Hat, expanded Cheesy Hat map availability, and lowered Shady requirements Verify exact hat requirements in-game instead of copying a pre-hotfix list

One other guide-critical mechanic predates the H A T S chronology: official patch 1.0.12 reworked the final swarm with new ghosts and warned that old execute and black-hole survival would no longer reliably save a run. The final-swarm guide keeps that older mechanic visible without presenting it as a 1.0.69 addition.

For goal-specific interpretation rather than raw chronology, use the guides hub or the build-planning hub.
