Without the weapons, it will be difficult to level up your character. The best way to do so would be to scavenge resources like pots and shrines. These can be found by following the green and white markers on the mini-map. The pots contain XP points, gold, and silver. The shrines, on the other hand, can give stat upgrades. You should also be on the lookout for NPCs as they can sell items.

As mentioned previously, when a character can't use weapons, the only factors that can be relied upon are luck and RNG. You have to be careful with the type of items you come across while attempting the Pacifist challenge in Megabonk. It could happen that while preparing for a boss fight, you could face a scarcity of tomes or items that you wanted to use.

You can also come across items that aren't a part of your strategy. When attempting a Pacifist run with a character like Bandit, with his attack speed with a crit-focus setup using CL4NK's revolver bursts, you end up using the Black Hole item. It can pull in hordes for effortless crowd control. You have to adapt and snag the Agility Tome for kiting and repositioning, then farm XP through the vacuum's constant enemy clusters instead.

That's all there is to know about completing the Pacifist challenge in Megabonk.
